Not an easy topic for any person is the question of death. Undoubtedly, this is a great grief in the family and in the circle of close people, but why are we afraid of death ourselves? After all, we are not afraid of losing ourselves, as relatives are afraid of losing us. So what is the essence of the fear of death and how to stop being afraid of it?
Instructions
Step 1
The main reason why a person does not want to leave this world lies in the fact that he is afraid not to do all that important that he should. If we imagine the situation that death will come in 10 minutes, then images of what we did not manage to accomplish and what we did not manage to say will immediately come to mind. It seemed to us that there was an infinite amount of time ahead, but here we understand that this is not so, and a well-founded fear is born.
Step 2
In order not to be afraid of death, you must always do what you must or want. This does not mean that you are preparing to leave this world, by no means, you will simply stop being afraid of the very thought of death. Do not put off anything until later, do it now, go to the goal every day. Confess your love when you feel it, and then you will feel life in all its fullness, and you will not be afraid of death.
Step 3
If you remember the views of different cultures on death, then perhaps it will become much easier for you to perceive it. For example, Buddhists believe in reincarnation, which means that the soul will never leave the earth and will be embodied in another person. It can be interpreted in such a way that there is no death, since only the physical shell dies.
Step 4
There is a way to get rid of the fear of death - to experience it in this world. There are many techniques for this, but the simplest is the usual visualization. Think of a situation when you were on the verge of death, or there was such a risk (for example, crossing the road in the wrong place). Try to remember as clearly as possible, and also feel the state when you experienced a slight shock.
Step 5
Now imagine that you did not have time to dodge a passing car and were hit by it. Imagine in detail how it would have happened. It is important to get used to the moment, and, as far as possible, to feel both internally and physically everything that happens to you. This can be quite a painful practice, and it will not be superfluous if you have a loved one next to you.
Step 6
Having experienced your death visually, you will live it in reality, here and now, being in a healthy body full of life. Most likely, you will be visited by a strong emotional outburst, hysteria, crying. Be prepared for this, it's okay. You will suffer for a while, because in your thoughts you have lost yourself. It's complicated. But after that you will feel relief, you will no longer be afraid of death, because you have already passed it. You will be more interested in life, rather than leaving it, and this will undoubtedly make you a much stronger person.
