Your Life Without Shame Bring your hand to your heart,
One hand or both,
And feel the warmth of your hand on your heart.
If words come up,
You could say that to yourself.
I love you.
You're okay.
Whatever it might be.
Sit with it in kind of a wordless way,
Paying attention to yourself and your heart.
Sit with the sense that you're okay.
If thoughts are coming in that seem to be shaming or judgmental,
It's okay just to notice them.
Let them be there.
Then come back to this feeling of supporting yourself,
Connecting with yourself,
Even with those negative thoughts.
That's okay.
Allow yourself to feel into what it would be like to not shame yourself,
To not feel shame.
Soften your shoulders.
Look up.
All of your shame has dissipated.
It's dissolved.
It's just not there anymore.
Visualize what is your life like now?
There are no more deficiency beliefs.
You've seen through all of those.
Notice what your life is like now.
When you look at yourself in the mirror,
What do you see?
What's going on in your face?
Is there something missing?
Something different?
All of the shame that you were previously feeling is just gone.
What would be different in your thoughts?
What would be gone?
What would be added if you had no shame at all?
All the shame that you've had throughout your whole life has dissolved.
It's being lifted.
Notice your thoughts.
Notice the energy in your body.
What does it feel like in your body to be living your life now without any shame at all?
Notice your breath.
Notice the ease in your body.
There's nothing wrong at all.
Everything is fine.
And if thoughts come into the mind of evidence against that,
Or reasons why things shouldn't really be let go of,
Things you've done that make you feel bad,
That there's something really not good about who you are,
See them as the thoughts that they are.
These are thoughts that might be based on past experiences,
And there's a lot more to us than the thoughts in our mind or our past experiences.
Notice the space in which those thoughts are being seen.
Notice that you can let go of the thoughts.
These are not things that you have to believe.
These are just experiences you had at one time.
The shame from those experiences,
The judgment,
Feeling alone,
Lingers.
And now it's time to let them go.
We don't have to hold on to these inaccurate beliefs.
It's time to let them go.
When we were younger,
We had experiences.
We might be able to look back on that now and see what was going on and have some compassion for ourselves.
We might have regret.
We might really wish that we had done things differently.
And yet here we are now as an adult with resources,
And we can connect with our younger self who made those decisions.
We can connect with our younger self.
We can let go of the shame that we might have held for our whole life.
Those were experiences that we had at one time.
It's time to let that go.
Put your hand on your heart again.
Connect with your heart center.
Connect with yourself.
Notice your body and your breath.
And when you're ready,
Come back and open your eyes.
As you look around the space that you're in,
Take a few deeper breaths.
Notice that you're not back in time.
You are here in this specific moment offering yourself kind connection.
Letting go of old beliefs and letting go of the shame and the judgment that was associated with those beliefs.
Letting go of the tension in our shoulders,
In our jaw.
Take a few deep breaths.
Lift your collarbones.
Open your heart.
Imagine and walk into a life without shame.
