How can fear be mastered or overcome?

Fear is not to be mastered or destroyed; it is to be understood and transformed through awareness, allowing its energy to shift from contraction to clarity.

Synthesized from Source practice
Core Insight:
According to Osho, fear can’t be mastered or destroyed; it’s energy that only transforms through understanding. Don’t repress it. Let it surface and watch it without judgment, inquire into its roots in desire and attachment. By lucidly witnessing its sensations and messages, fear disentangles, its energy shifts from negative contraction (fear/anger) into awareness, clarity, and intelligent action.
Don’t fight fear—notice it kindly, understand what it’s tied to, and it will loosen and change.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents repression that later controls you from the unconscious
- Converts raw fear-energy into awareness and wise response
- Exposes desire/attachment fueling anxiety, easing it at the root
