Shame serves a purpose. Its job is to help us see where there is a part of us that is contracted beneath the feeling of bad and wrong. It becomes the blanket that keeps us from feeling deeper feelings, deeper truth, vulnerability or compassion for ourselves.  On an energetic level, shame contributes to taking on the energy of others, feeling a victim, codependency, and disempowered in the 2nd chakra.  Underneath that shame is a powerful feminine energy that is meant to heal and emerge.In this episode, you will learn: Shame and the relationship to your 2nd chakraHow shame formed historically and in your early childhood bondingHow shame contributes to taking on the energy of others and overly-empathic experiencesHow to heal shameHow connecting to the power of your feminine (no matter your gender) heals the shame blanket Give a listen!
