In this episode, Amanda Parker speaks with Blue Star, a spiritual teacher, healer, and shaman, about the nature of fear and how to move through it. Blue Star explains that fear is a survival mechanism that evolved to protect humans from potential threats, but in modern times, it often arises in response to the unknown. When triggered, the brain creates imaginary scenarios that can lead to panic and stress, even when no actual danger is present. Blue Star emphasizes the importance of recognizing fear for what it is and not identifying with it.
The conversation also delves into the role of injustice in the world and how it can impact individuals. Blue Star suggests that when faced with injustice, one should acknowledge it, consider if there is anything they can do to help, and if not, send light and let it go. She stresses the importance of maintaining balance and not allowing the biological energy needed for oneself to be depleted by constantly worrying about things beyond one's control.
Blue Star discusses the power of the brain and its ability to fixate on unresolved issues, leading to endless loops of thought. She emphasizes the need to master one's inner dialogue and not allow the brain to take over. Techniques such as using sound (Tibetan bowls, gongs, drums), physical activity, and singing can help calm the brain and reduce stress hormones. Blue Star also touches on the concept of being receivers and senders of energy, and the importance of discerning whether emotions are one's own or picked up from others or the environment.
Throughout the conversation, Blue Star shares her personal journey and the experiences that led her to become a spiritual teacher and healer. She emphasizes the importance of finding what resonates with oneself, letting go of judgments, and embracing the beauty and multidimensionality of the world. Blue Star encourages listeners to take ownership of their journey, uplift themselves, and find their own light.
