How can one get rid of fear according to Tantra?

“

Embrace your fear with total awareness, for in acceptance lies the key to dissolve it; denial only strengthens what you wish to escape.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source practice
Core Insight:
According to Osho, Tantra doesn’t fight fear or try to ‘get rid’ of it; it invites total, honest awareness. Simply see fear, accept it as part of you, and stop pretending or manufacturing its opposite (bravery, piety, love). Understanding dissolves it; denial strengthens it. In radical acceptance, duality ends and a natural fearlessness, not performance or pretense, arises.
Don’t push fear away—look at it honestly and accept it, and it softens by itself.
Why this matters practically
- Stops the loop of fighting fear with more fear.
- Makes relationships and spirituality honest, reducing pretense.
- Prevents risky bravado and calms anxiety through acceptance and awareness.
