Tuning in: Meeting & Releasing Shame
We’ve been conditioned to look externally at people, places, and things as our concrete reality.
Never once questioning it.
Never thinking that what could be appearing “out there” is somehow connected to what’s going on inside of us.
When we learn to look at life around us like a magnifying glass of what’s going on on the inside, we can use our daily life as a means of self-revelation and realization. Life then becomes the teacher, and we are its student.
Our repressed emotions.
The rejected aspects of ourselves.
The parts of us that we think we need to control and fix.
The parts that we’re embarrassed being revealed into the world.
The parts that we’re embarrassed showing other people.
This is where energy has been locked up.
It could be as simple as admitting to yourself you like a certain band you never thought you’d like or that you’re embarrassed to like. Or that you like someone who isn’t someone you’d imagined you’d like, and you feel “wrong” for it.
“Right and wrong” are extremely limiting and vague societal constructs.
