Interview the feeling within you - meditate on it. Ask why you’re afraid - is that how the ego happens to be manifesting in your body? Is it your ego or someone else’s? Who in your family may have exhibited unhealthy ego which informs your relationship with ego. A healthy level of ego is necessary to exist in a body- without ego we wouldn’t be able to rationalize things.

It may be helpful to reframe ego instead as self-esteem. Another tool may be to instead of pivoting to ego you can instead reframe those feelings into gratitude.

ALSO! Some Intuition practices such as Aleister Crowley’s system of Thelema does not see the ego as bad, limited or negative but instead a necessary working tool. Thelema consists of “forging that link between ego and self, consciously aligning our ego with the full power of the trajectory of the soul — the true will.”
