The root cause of fear is ignorance of our true nature. By understanding that we are not simply the body or the breath or the mind, that our essence is pure consciousness, we are able to overcome our fears and the obstacles they create. Meditation is the pathway to this understanding. By learning to still the body, quiet the breath, and calm the mind, we gain a direct experience of who we really are.
