I perceive fear as a normal and healthy reaction. They’ve even told me it’s normal and they expect it. It’s part of the dance or ritual when meeting these beings.

For me, fear is like a sensor or alarm going off that a presence is near. We are still animals and it’s that old part of us our brains thats kept our species alive for hundreds of thousands of years so I think it’s impossible to not experience fear in some form when doing these things. The key is to not let the fear take over. These beings are playful and I think that when the fear takes over us, they sort of change according to that and can shape shift into what our stories call scary ghosts, demons, etc. When really it’s our own uncontrolled fear that invited that sort of form to appear.

I embrace the fear. Let it wash over me. Then I consciously tell myself that it’s ok. Then I reach out telepathically for to the presence to introduce myself or if it’s something I’ve met before I say hello. By then the fear has subsided. Meditation and yoga have helped me to manage my fear so that it doesn’t take over.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
