What is the path for overcoming fear?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Fear dissolves when you become a silent witness to both happiness and misery, rooted in meditative watchfulness, where a calm center emerges and anxieties untangle."

According to Osho, fear dissolves when you stop chasing happiness and fleeing suffering and instead become a silent witness to both. Happiness and misery are excitations; they shake you only when you identify with them. Awareness of this very condition is the beginning. Root yourself in meditative watchfulness, neither hoping nor resisting, and a calm center appears. From that centeredness, anxieties untangle and fear loses its grip.
Just watch your feelings without running toward pleasure or away from pain, and fear will fade.
Why this matters practically
- You stop being tossed by highs and lows, so choices become steadier.
- Anxiety eases as you practice witnessing breath, body, and thoughts.
- Resilience grows, letting you face uncertainty without panic.
