202 - Healing Shame #8

Many of us grew up in families where feelings were denied and/or rejected and
shamed. No blame. Becoming desensitized to our feelings meant losing our
ability to feel feelings in our bodies. It was a matter of survival at the
time. Today feeling our feelings bodily allows us to know ourselves better
and to know more clearly our wants and needs. Practice paying attention to
feelings in your body and as you develop more awareness of your feelings it
will facilitate your healing process.
Peace,
Ken

  1. Good point about paying attention to feelings in your body. It tends to bring me back to the NOW/present/today. I can then see whether I want to be in the NOW or I am trying to run away from it. Then I can practice meditation, or utilize support group, and stop running away. Thanks.
