All emotions pass through us. We only keep those we choose to keep. But we have many parts and many choices. One perspective on the chakra system is that each has the ability to choose to hold on to emotions.
Fear, in particular, is a useful emotion. People without any fear do not live long.
The only way out of fear is surrendering your life and all hope of comfort peace and ease.
But having done so in principle, you may find them in reality. This practice, itself, is a risk, but I think this is the essence of Chod, which is intended to cut fear off at the root. I believe Chod in fact means “to cut”.
