Effects on Irrational Fear

[Jr. Woodchuck]

Personally I had a really strong fear of the dark that I thought I would never get over. After drinking Kava for the first time, I noticed it went away. Now several days without Kava and I'm still not afraid of the dark. It seems to have had a lasting effect which is wonderful.
Has anyone ever noticed Kava having an effect on irrational fear?

isn't anxiety by definition "irrational"? if yes, then I suppose it's always been known that kava deals with "irrational" unease/fear

 

[Panthau]

But only short term, right? And not every fear is irrational... the true fear, when you are in real danger, f.e.

I started drinking Kava because I developed a social anxiety disorder. I drank it for a full four years before I was shipped off with Peace Corps, and I never have had social anxiety since. That's just my experience. I think it tuned me into a state of mind where social anxiety seems like something irrational and easily-dismissable..

 

[I don't know]

Kava has definitely helped my anxiety over things that are both rational and irrational.

The issue is when you have anxiety about a situation that doesn't exist, the energy produced had no outlet, whereas the energy produced in a real life threatening situation has an outlet.
This is where the disease and toxicity comes from with "irrational anxiety". It's not based in the now, it's always the future and cannot be dealt with now.
Learning how to transmute the energy of all kinds into presence is key. Kava can help with this, since it destabilizes the chemical anxiety in the body leaving it all up to you . Which is much easier. T


I'm so happy that happened . I love when herbs have that lasting of an effect... we have called it training wheels here.
