Ugh. This was a particularly interesting article to write because of the research component! I particularly like her finding that connecting with other people is so healthy.

In terms of emotions and vibrations, I view shame as being about as low as you can go (I would say it's even lower than despair). I can see how having some regret can motivate change, but to me, shame is a very un-natural way to feel and needs to be acknowledged (going to the dark place) and released. When I work with clients dealing with shame I often see it coming from someone else, such as someone being shamed by a parent when they were a child. When I look at it energetically, it's as if someone has thrown dark, black energy into a person's space. People then grow up and add to it by being concerned about what others think and then shaming themselves even more. If we could all just be ok about making mistakes and accepting what is, we'd have so much less shame. And if we could stop judging others we'd stop spreading the shame. I may have to write some articles on this topic myself - thanks for the inspiration. Gini .-= Gini Grey´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.ginigrey.com/wp/?p=515" rel="nofollow">Courage</a> =-.
