I immediately thought of when, as a child, I was terrorized by a barking dog that chased me and nipped at my ankles. Forever afterward, I've been wary and fearful of dogs...
My sub-conscious mind, with the intent to keep me safe, created a belief that dogs are scary. Now that I'm an adult with expanded understanding, I no longer need to keep re-creating that dis-empowering belief. I can choose to re-program my sub-conscious mind and become more open to rich new experiences.
