having fun on the way

Being human and all, we have this tendency to make meaning of Every. Single. Thing. What other people do. What other people say. What we say to ourselves. [about ourselves] The sensations we feel in our bodies. This is normal and it's what helps us survive. We feel hunger, we eat. We feel tired, we sleep. We sense danger, we protect. Our bodies and brains are so highly evolved. And we've been conditioned to NOT pay attention to... or honor... or trust... those sensations. We've been conditioned to... fear them... control them... manipulate them... ignore them... be ashamed of them... pretend they don't exist. What has been learned can be unlearned. Precisely because our bodies and brains are so highly evolved. In the Shame School Community, we pay attention, we love, trust, and honor the sensations. We unshame them. We make new meaning of them. And? Best of all? We have a lot of fun on the way. Much, much love, Karen The Shame School Community opens March 1. Are you coming? |

I almost didn't even sign in for the call. But...

In the movie The Sixth Sense, a young boy named Cole Sear can see and talk to the dead. "I see dead people," he says to the psychologist he sees. Cole says the dead walk around like regular people, but they don't see each other and they don't know they're dead. His gift was distressing to him and he often felt isolated because of it. Cole eventually overcomes his fear of the ghosts that visit him and is able to help them find closure. I see shamed people. I can see and talk to them...they...
