When it comes to tackling fear head on and seeing how we react in different situations we have to look back a few hundred millions years to get the answer. The brain stem is the oldest and smallest region in the evolving human brain; this is where our basic emotion of fear is stored. This is called the 'lizard brain'. It is more like the entire brain of present-day reptiles.

Fear causes us to make rash decisions, all running on autopilot! Within the blink of an eye we can be frozen to the spot with fear, or we can run off as fast as our legs can carry us. What makes us do that? The amygdala, or lizard brain is thinking just one thing, "Stay alive." This is the moment we can leap over brambles or run through a field of nettles without feeling a thing and all because someone asked us to give a speech! Well, you get the picture. This fear is stored as emotional memories, so when we are asked about making that speech we are sure to react the same way as we previously did. This is the cycle of fear that needs to be tackled head on.

Brainy evolutionists tell us we have had this reptilian brain thing going on for millions of years. This is why we sometimes act irrationally when in a tight spot. When our reptilian brain kicks in we act automatically and without thinking about what we are doing, hence we can become injured while fleeing nothing more than a false reaction. This can be brought on by the most mundane of things.

Accommodating these fear emotions is like feeding a hungry lion, it will only become hungry again and you have to go through the same cycle. So why not just rid yourself of these fear emotions for good, as that is the answer to the fix you require. You wouldn't get out of your car when travelling around a wild animal park and embrace a wild lion, and that is how you have to see your fear. Do not embrace it as it will bite you nastily. Yet some therapists say you should embrace your fear! Well of course now you can see that this advice is very risky, as unsafe as asking you to embrace a wild lion! Why? Well because all what you are doing is storing that fear emotion within your lizard brain's memory banks, and then it can be drawn on again and again to make you feel just as bad the next time you are confronted by what it is you are feared of. So do be warned.

Why is it dire to allow these fear memories into your life? To accept these negative thoughts reinforces the emotion of fear. Accepting the feeling can reinforce it even more at a later stage. Some therapists advise you to accept the feeling of fear so as to nurture your true self. This is unreliable as it causes more emotional memories to be stored in what is known as the lizard brain, and hence your fear is perpetuated.

These emotions of fear drawn from your memory bank actually feed the very fear you want to be rid of. It goes around in a vicious circle, a one that you just can't seem to find an end to. Some therapists advise that you go into the fear and accept it for what it is! However, top self help author Stephen Richards says, "By embracing the very fear you want to rid yourself from you are reinforcing the emotional memory of that particular fear. Frankly you need to ground yourself and transmute this fear into something else. By maintaining your relationship with the fear emotion you are inviting it to remain within your life."

When we freeze with fear it is something that has been brought on by over activity of the amygdala ... the lizard brain. When signals from the body are misread by the amygdala it can cause out of place actions. If only you could have stopped that emotion of fear being stored in the first place then you would have been able to prevent it kicking in again at a later date. So we have to get in there and stabilise everything and clear out those memory banks before it gets too big to handle and becomes even more debilitating than it already is.

Why is it that when you get an attack of fear that occasionally you can become incapacitated? Simple, it is related to the hyperactivity of the amygdala! This almond sized object is the storehouse for the memory of fear! The amygdala can misinterpret physiological signals from the body and cause inappropriate actions. Then in the cold light of day you can see how ridiculous you behaved, but too late ... the emotion is stored. This is how your fear/panic manifests itself. The definition of panic is a heightened state of anxiety. This fear/panic feeds off itself in a positive feedback loop and jumps to faulty conclusions.

There are many physiological changes that take place within the body when, say for instance, you come head to head with the very situation you are scared of which could be: fear of heights, needles, intimacy, germs, snakes, birds and even women in some cases, as some men are completely petrified of having to meet and speak to a woman. When in a scary situation that really is not as scary as you would think if you thought logically, then that is when the fear manifests itself in the form of: chest pain or discomfort, nausea or stomach distress, hot or cold flashes, shortness of breath or smothering sensation and so on.

Turning off the emotion of fear is not that simple once the floodgates have been opened. The brain's cortex cannot get a grip on it; it overrides anything logical that might have a remote chance of running through your head. However there is some good news ... there is a way to fix this problem. These false alarms are what bring on the attack of fear. So if we can empty the stored information that is waiting to be triggered then we can totally eradicate that particular relationship between the amygdala and what sets the fear off. Then it will no longer recognise the situation as a life threatening nature. Many have tried immersion and cognitive therapy ... all to no avail. Now there is a way to beat the fear without even having to come into contact with what sets it off.

You may well have done the rounds and tried just about every remedy that is out there. Maybe you have downloaded all of those glitzy MP3s that do little more than bring you computer viruses or just simply clog your PC while you get around to trying them one day. You need something tangible, something that really gets to grips with fear and something that actually works rapidly.

After quite a few years of research and development now there is something that substantially instils positive emotion within you. It's not hypnosis or even subliminal messaging ... they are a little old hat and long in the tooth now. International self help guru Stephen Richards has designed an extremely effective tool that will fix it for you to start overcoming irrational fear within less than 30 minutes! The barrier to rational thought is lifted; there are no more uncertain situations and a more positive outlook can now be instilled.

In order to really make inroads into eradicating your fear a specially designed audio was formulated that uses techniques to get right to the core of the problem, and in rapid time. By using up to date methods with brainwave technology it was found that it defeated the need to use outdated self-hypnosis or subliminal messaging.

There must be 1001 ways to overcome irrational fear, but none so fast as this method. This method overcomes the need for frequent visits to your hypnotherapist, and of course saving you the immense cost too. The specially made CD by Stephen Richards zones in to the heart of the problem, and the best part is you can hear every word being spoken. What would have been thought impossible ten years ago is now reality. In less than 30 minutes the primary track on the CD targets the area in need of help, simple as that.

The "Releasing You From Fear CD" uses up to date technology which zones in on the area in need of a fix. All of those stored emotional memories of fear are worked on, just like a virus scanner on your computer, until it is in 'system restored' mode and you can start afresh. Stephen Richards says, "I have formulated this to work in such a way that it is one of the fastest and easiest methods available today to help you overcome irrational fear. I am also qualified as a hypnotherapist, yet I am not advocating that avenue as a cure because I know it is pricey to go through 10 or 20 sessions of that therapy. This is why I have specifically designed this CD to target the amygdala, but without compromising what it is supposed to do and in a safe and natural way.
