He discusses how this experience sparked his deep dive into spirituality, psychology, and philosophy, ultimately leading to his current work helping others discover their own sense of purpose.Sharad offers valuable insights on what purpose really means, debunking the myth of a single, grand life purpose and instead advocating for a life filled with purposeful activities.

The conversation touches on practical strategies for discovering purpose, including meditation, journaling, and therapy, while also addressing the balance between idealism and practicality in pursuing a purposeful life. Sharad's approach encourages listeners to embrace curiosity, sit with discomfort, and engage in an ongoing process of self-discovery and iteration.Key TakeawaysPurpose is not a singular grand mission, but rather a collection of fulfilling activities that align with your values and make a positive impact.Discovering purpose often requires quieting external noise through practices like meditation, journaling, or therapy to connect with what truly matters to you.Post-traumatic growth can lead to profound self-discovery and purpose, as challenging experiences often prompt deep questioning of core beliefs and societal expectations.Balance is crucial - pursuing purpose should be practical and sustainable, considering both personal fulfillment and life responsibilities.Finding purpose is an iterative process that involves inner reflection, real-world application, and continuous adjustment as you learn and grow.Get in Touch with Sharad:Website: www.sharadlal.netEmail: Sharad@sharadlal.netLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharadlal24/More ways to deepen your own learning: 1.

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.More ways to deepen your own learning: 1.

In this episode, author, community leader, and Shamanic teacher Teo Alfero shares his insights on the transformative power of shamanic practices, particularly the recapitulation process, for personal healing and growth. Dive deep into the wisdom of walking between worlds, finding balance, and embodying your own unique essence in this captivating episode that will leave you inspired to embark on your own transformative journey.-------Teo Alfero, a spiritual teacher, trusted mentor and advisor to influential world leaders, shares his insights on the special shamanic healing practices he teaches in this fascinating episode of Don't Step on the Bluebells. Teo discusses the path of personal awakening and spiritual development, explaining that while the quest for enlightenment is not new, in modern society people often lack the elders and community to guide them through the initiation process when they have profound experiences.Teo describes his own training in the shamanic lineage traced back to ancient Mexico, and the foundational practice of recapitulation - an energetic recalibration of one's life experiences. By reclaiming the energy attached to past events, people can free themselves from limiting beliefs and behaviors. Teo emphasizes that healing in his tradition is not about "letting go", but about transmuting and integrating all experiences to gain understanding and knowledge.Teo also discusses his recent book "Transmission", which showcases the stories of his master students, modern women who have gone through this powerful training. His aim as a teacher is to help students find their own authentic transmission and way of impacting the world. For those feeling the call to this path, Teo advises trusting the "ping", finding community, having the discipline to pursue the journey despite the mind's doubts, and maintaining "sobriety" - the ability to continue one's worldly life while opening up to the spiritual realms. The key is learning to walk with one foot in each world.Key Takeaways:The quest for spiritual awakening and consciousness expansion is a fundamental part of the human experience.Teo's foundational teaching is the practice of recapitulation, which frees individuals from limiting patterns by reclaiming energy from past experiences.Healing involves integrating and transmuting all aspects of one's being, not just "letting go."Spiritual awakening requires balancing practical daily life with exploring expanded awareness ("walking with one foot in each world").Finding community support and maintaining grounded discipline ("sobriety") is crucial on the spiritual journey.Teo's goal is to empower individuals to find their authentic expression and impact, not create dependent students.How to Get in Touch:Website: https://www.teoalfero.com/Community Space: https://teoalferoteachingcircle.mn.co/Instagram: @teo_alferoMore ways to deepen your own learning: 1.

In this episode of Don't Step on the Bluebells, Amanda Parker interviews Dan Bienenfeld, a practitioner and teacher of Hellerwork structural integration. Dan explains that Hellerwork is a unique bodywork modality that works with the whole body to realign it with gravity, restoring space, function and ease of movement. While hands-on work from a trained practitioner is ideal, Dan also shares a powerful fascia activation self-care technique that anyone can use to awaken the body and release held patterns of physical and emotional pain.Dan's own journey with Hellerwork began as a teenager, when he witnessed the dramatic changes in a friend who went through the process. He knew clearly then that this was his path, and ended up being one of the first students of Joseph Heller, the creator of Hellerwork. His advice for someone starting to connect with their body is to begin scanning and noticing sensations throughout the day, while seeking support from experienced practitioners.The conversation touches on the nature of healing, which Dan distinguishes from fixing. True healing, he suggests, comes from having the courage to feel and listen to the messages of the body, bringing awareness, acknowledgment and space to areas of discomfort and stuckness.
