“Shame can feel like a weighting heavy cloak with this sticky icky feeling and a contraction away from life, away from others, trying to hide and withdraw, disappear, and not be seen.

It can really have a limiting effect on our capacity to express our authentic voice and the inspiration of our soul into the world! A lot of times shame originates from experiences where that authentic voice… our feelings of life, or natural impulses or needs, or what we’re truly inspired about-  is met with some form of violence… whether that violence is moralistic judgments, or a physical or sexual violence, or an emotional energetic toxicity that’s directed towards us. And in experiences like that, it can be imprinted as there is something wrong with us, not enough, too much, or bad. When that kind of message gets coupled with the natural movement of our authentic expression, it can create a kind of confusion, a kind of “wires crossed” experience internally… and a distrust of that natural expression and inner voice coming into connection!

So how do we unwind those imprints of Shame which can come from childhood and be woven into a sense of self in the world? They can also come from experiences socially, culturally, in our education system, or in our society where there is this group think and shaming of certain choices of expression… with the added element of the threat of the loss of belonging or the threat of punishment. So shame and fear can be a dynamic together. There can be an intentional shaming to affect behavior. So it seems important to me that we actually bring the light of awareness into these places in us individually and as well as awareness into how that mechanism of fear and shame can be operating in the larger social collectives that we’re a part of.

In order to undo this sort of cloaking of our light, it can be really helpful to be in relation with others where there is that shared awareness, and the capacity to really hold and meet those feelings of Shame and fear with loving compassion, acceptance, and kindness… in order to undo the grip that it has in the subconscious mind and in our mode of operating… on the pathway of what is moving us, what is affecting our choices, and the freedom to be in that full authentic expression of our soul inspiration, and listening to that as what moves us <3

It seems key to be growing community where there is that shared capacity, so that we can accelerate our power to transmute the places where we’re carrying those imprints of Shame and remember the Pathway to our essential divinity, So that we can bring forth our unique Soul Inspiration and gifts and contribute those to growing a harmonious existence on this Earth together.
And may it be so!”

“How do we return home to the pure love of the Divine heart, especially when we’re in a triggered state? I’ve been in this deep diving right in to some of the places in my body where there’s a held residue of fear from experiences that were terrifying and been looking into what happens that clouds the lens of perception and usurps the pathway of trusting my own inner knowing, what happens and how can I return to that place where I remember my true essence of love. And exploring how can I connect to that spark of light in the heart that is in resonance with the Divine Light, the luminosity that can fill through the tissues, illuminate from the inside out those places where there’s contraction and clouding from residues of fear in the system. What I’ve been doing feels like a getting into the roots and getting underneath the roots and slowly bringing, and sometimes intensely bringing that into the light of my awareness so that it can be integrated and not functioning in the background of the subconscious mind and the emotional landscape, so that it’s brought into the light.

And a big part of that is holding whatever arises with sweet tender compassionate presence, meeting those felt memories of Terror and horror and grief sorrow and despair, within the light, the witnessing consciousness present in the heart. It’s a different quality to witnessing just with the mind. It’s more anchored into the centre and connected to the midline and held within the empathic intelligence of our heart centre which when connected to this Divine luminosity it can illuminate those places where there can be kind of a a sludgy lethargic compressed energy held in the tissues.

So one of the things I’ve been working with is some memory in my neck and allowing this awareness to rest into the tissues while keeping an anchor in this luminous Centre so that love can pour in to the cells. It’s like a liquid fluid light of pure love.

And it’s not always easy by any means to face those places where there is such intense sensation and memory and emotion and thought that is dwelling, actually in a past experience. And I’m finding that it’s really through meeting those places in the body with this quality of presence that there is Liberation from those Energies that sometimes become familiar and habitual as a way of feeling, perceiving, relating, and acting through.

So it’s connecting that anchor to the Divine heart through the physical heart in our body as the compass and as the continual anchor to return to in times when there is challenge and friction and the triggering of memory that pulls us into that pathway of fear.

So we strengthen the pathway of the Divine heart by anchoring our awareness in our physical Heart Centre, feeling that luminosity that is our essence, allowing that Soul presence to inhabit and fill our body and our heart field that extends around the body. This Rippling out into the world, our heart being a receptor and a broadcaster of this Luminosity of pure love. And in this we become resonators for others to attune to and remember their own Divine spark of light and that pure love. That is the true freedom, is the true freedom.”
