The one thing that always becomes a hindrance for any paranormal investigator is Fear. It is not that those who have been in this field are totally free of “fear.” But we understand it and we know how to channel it. Therefore, in this excerpt, we will understand what is fear, especially in terms of the paranormal, and then look at how to overcome fear. Well, we assume that by now you are aware that we are a team of paranormal consultants and investigators in Chennai, India under the leadership of Mr Praveen Saanker.
What is Fear?
Have you ever been hypnotized? If the answer is No, then you have never really felt fear. Confused? Okay, let me explain. Fear is like being hypnotized into believing that something is dangerous for you. You can be subjected to fear by a third person, or you might as well self-inflict it upon yourself. In both cases, fear is something that is induced. Fear begins at trepidation and is followed by anxiety, dread, panic, horror, lastly, terror.
Terror is the most extreme form of fear. It is usually indeed by another party in your mind and soul. You feel a sense of chill run from your spine that travels till it reaches your toes. Fear is like a thought. The thought of something menacing taking place. You can overcome this feeling by keeping control of your surroundings and managing how you process things.
Fear is Not an Option For Paranormal Investigators
If you are able to master the inner workings of your mind, then only you can counter fear. See things, absorb things and then just discard what weakens you. I know this is easier said than done. But for a person who is pursuing paranormal research, fear is not an option. Fearing for your life and your loved ones is okay. Everyone has that, and it’s positive. It’s fear out of love. What you need to counter is the fear induced by negativity. Because that’s the worst kind. Therefore, it makes you less confident, which is very dangerous if you want to be a paranormal researcher.
How to Overcome Fear?
Now, let me tell you something about countering fear. Maybe a few tricks and tips. The first step of being resistant is staying in a tuneful environment. This means that you should have a good lifestyle. Maintaining a regime helps. It helps us to have excellent mental and physical being. One should try and adjust to the energies around them and also tap into them. There is fear because your mind is wandering, and you have to learn to make your mind more still.
So, there is a difference between an average person and a paranormal researcher. And there has to be. A paranormal researcher knows how to handle pressure and, most notably, fear. Any supernatural situation in nature can be scary for a person who has never had any experience or encounter with such entities. It might come as a surprise and that too in a negative kind of way.
How Does a Paranormal Investigator Overcome Fear?
We are not saying that we are not taken by surprise when we encounter such an unnatural activity. Still, we have developed inner channelling, which enables us to flush out that fear and look at things with a researcher and a specialist’s eyes. We train to do this, our job of finding such entities.
Next time you get into a house that you know is haunted, just ask yourself a question. “What is the worst that can happen?” Yes, you might have an encounter with a shadow, or you can see a spirit manifest itself. You can get pushed, can get a little scratch. But no one has ever died on the field in the history of paranormal research. And let me tell you that there have been many researchers before you, and none of them has ever been killed. We are not boasting that you can not get injured if you are a researcher, but the data we have suggests what we said above.
Why Should a Paranormal Investigator Learn to Tackle Fear?
Learning to tackle it is essential for a paranormal researcher. A paranormal researcher’s mindset enables him to look at spirits as a force of nature and not like something negative. A paranormal researcher’s job is to understand this force and register his account so that future researchers have something to get their knowledge from. We are not just here for answers. We are also here for the experience.
When you are scared of a ghost or a spirit, it opens channels for it to terrify you even more. As soon as we let the energy around us go frail, the spirit gets the opportunity to use it. Hence, it would be best if you learned to be still. We cannot stress this enough but stay still. Spirits don’t like change or being disturbed. If they feel a disturbance in the place of their residence, then they start making you aware of their existence.
This is just the first step, so don’t take it as a final warning. It won’t kill you with the push of a button. You cannot let fear cloud your judgment at this point. You have to be positive and tackle the situation accordingly. If you are not a paranormal researcher and find yourself in such a situation, don’t be reluctant to help from a specialist in the field. Fear of the paranormal can hurt you mentally, and it’s that which can also cause you physical hurt, so don’t let it control you.
To Wrap it Up
The purpose of fear is to negate any injury to you. It gives us the feeling of being safe from danger and stops us from doing things whose results are not in our control. Sometimes it is a good thing. For example – if a truck is coming at you on the road, then it’s the fear of getting injured or dying that makes you jump away from the road. Some people might say it’s our reflexes that make us do that. And we agree, but it’s the fear to die that triggers those reflexes. Hence, there are times when it can save your life, but for a paranormal researcher being afraid will make his job too inconvenient.
