Diane: How can your book help us overcome fear during times of terrorism, economic turmoil, and natural disasters?
Dr. Orloff: To be free, we must view fear as something to overcome, not something to be defeated by. When you see a world with so much to be afraid of—skyrocketing gas prices, the failing economy, and violence—you must choose not to come from fear. Part of emo- tional freedom is making a vow not to lead a fear-driven life. That must be a deep desire in your heart. Then do everything possible to overcome fear and worry with faith in goodness, and trying to stay in the moment rather than catastrophizing the future. I’ll show you how to develop the courage to be centered and find non-fear based solutions to anything! Courage or fear is a choice. It’s not something that just happens to you.
Diane: You say emotional freedom offers us opportunities to be heroes in our own lives. What do you mean by that?
Dr. Orloff: If you suffer loss, if you’re having an anxiety attack or feeling depressed or lonely—these are all very spiritual experiences to me. You become a hero in your own life as you learn to use emotions as a chance to become stronger, brighter, more. This is critical on a personal level because it frees you from suffering. But it’s just as important on a collective level because if we don’t face the fear and anger in ourselves, then we risk projecting it onto a global sphere. This creates war and massive suffering to our human family. We must find inner peace before we can have outer peace. That’s why I consider emotional freedom an inner peace movement.
