“Rabbit’s Foot = Admission of Fear”
by Kelvin Chin

Do you carry a rabbit’s foot or a crystal in your pocket? Do you sage yourself before you go out? Do you tell your clients to surround themselves with a “bubble of white light” to protect themselves?
Aren’t all of those simply an admission of fear? Fear that one may be attacked by somebody who may harm us? Or that something bad might befall us?
I know these are popular talisman myths today. But the history of the rabbit’s foot in this way goes back to at least the 1500’s, and in the early 1800’s it was believed that witches would take the form of a rabbit so their foot would have magical powers. Really?
Even if you believe in such stories, the use of any of the above indicates a fear that needs external protection from.
There is a fundamental principle I have observed for thousands of years: “Fear attracts the object of fear.” That means either we internally create and manifest our own fears externally in our lives, or we attract others into our lives by expressing our fears in our thoughts and behavior that “bullies” then are attracted to since — to them — we are vulnerable and easy targets.
So, what is the most effective way to protect ourselves from external bullies?
By strengthening ourselves from within.
Bullies hate internally confident people. They stay away from those with a strong sense of self esteem. Such strong people are a pain in the neck to bullies. Way too difficult to dominate. And bullies are all about easy domination.
So, to really protect ourselves from all bullying types, whether on this side or the Other Side, I suggest instead of carrying a crystal, enveloping oneself with sage, or stroking the rabbit’s foot in one’s pocket, that we “turn within” and strengthen that unshakeable connection with ourselves. By doing so, we shed our fears, instead of continuing to carry them around trying to mask them with crystals, sage or a rabbit’s foot.
