Summary

We’ve talked about the upside of dark emotions, how to turn stress into serenity, and now today’s guest, Dr. Lissa Rankin, is coming back on the show to share how we can heal ourselves (physically and emotionally) when we understand fear. Lissa is an incredible example of this in her own life, but for her new book on fear, she actually traveled the world and talked to many different people in varied cultures to better understand our concept of fear in the West. In our conversation she pulls the covers back on how fear affects our physical health, how our society perpetuates a sick relationship with fear, and how we truly have the power to heal ourselves when we understand what is behind our fear. For this 5 Minute Friday, I wanted to share a clip from a past episode where Lissa explains how we can become friends with our fear by learning to trust our intuition.

0:41.0	Albert Einstein says the most important decision you'll ever make is whether we live in a
0:44.6	hostile or friendly universe.
0:47.4	And you know that's a belief system.
0:49.0	I acknowledge that's a belief system but I have lived a life and I know you share this
0:54.1	with her but I have lived a life where I have evidence that it's a purposeful universe
0:59.9	that everything that has happened in my life I can look back and see how it grew me
1:05.0	as a soul even if it was painful at the time.
1:08.5	How adversity can be an opportunity for soul growth.
1:11.8	And if we stop feeling like we're at the mercy of a random chaotic universe where bad things
1:16.9	happen to good people and you know there's nothing you can do about it so you better just
1:22.0	shore up and try to guard yourself.
1:25.5	If you start trusting that like wow I mean one of the questions that I ask myself a lot
1:29.6	it's something's happening that I don't like.
