Episode 176 An undoing of shame, the other “s” word

It's coming up all over the place, shame as a tool to tell you who and what to be.  Let’s explore what and how shame might be calling to us to resolve and heal in order for us and the planet to evolve right now.  We all know and have experienced shame. It is expressed on the emotional scale as the very lowest frequency, lower even than grief or fear.  This episode is an invitation to question your own experience and expression of programs and patterns of shame and why it’s now more important than ever to break the cycle of shame in ourselves. It’s an invitation to notice, and see through the programs and patterns that continue to perpetuate division on this Earth. I shared this anonymous quote; Don’t shame yourself into changing, instead love yourself into evolving. Let’s stop throwing the hot potato of shame to others and instead notice how we can  alchemize shame that has been weaponized, particularly in light of current events. How can we begin to inner-stand where, when and how we navigate polarizing narratives and choose instead our highest action in each moment.  An Undoing of Shame  The words we speak Are they a gentle song that floats to our beloveds ear Soft and sweet as the petals of a rose  Or a cacophonous blast that destroys  Harsh and unyielding as a raging fire We have been both, and we are neither Shame has pulled us back and forth over those coals so the burn never heals It’s time to remove the h  Recognize the same You, me, us Putting down the words we have weaponized, thrown at each other pretending they don’t cut us too  Now is the moment we set each other free (art & poetry Christine Pensa) Visit our show page for more episodes https://www.artthatmoves.ca/podcasts/
