IGNITE and release fear with Rebecca Ward
Episode description
Oh you know we all feel it, now more than ever. FEAR.....we often let our fear rule our lives, but sometimes the fear we are experiencing is not a real threat, but rather a learned response.
Today my guest, Rebecca Ward, gives us suggestions on how to walk through fear, to get to the other side. And guess what lives on the other side - JOY! She tells us that our system overreacts to fear causing that old flight or fight syndrome. We all know it's there, we just sometimes succumb to the fear when it is not real.
Rebecca has written a book called THE PAPER TIGER SYNDROME, with exercises and meditations to assist us in walking through our own fears. Having walked through many traumas, she has learned how to regulate her own nervous system to return to her Original Blueprint. You original blueprint is the you filled with joy that you are born with. It gets stomped on and hidden as we go through life. Rebecca tells us that we CAN indeed return to it, by recognizing our fears, exploring them, walking through them and finally returning to joy.
One of the key ways to do this is to regulate our breath. Rebecca takes us through a grounding exercise to assist us with this, so enjoy!
