Shame is defined as a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior.  Just for today, look very closely at any shame you are holding.  Is it necessary?  Is it Self or Other created?  How does it serve you?  If it is an internally generated, be gentle with and forgive yourself.  If it is external, think on how much of it is really yours.  Please remember; you do not have to feel shame to identify with those around you.  Release it and grow! ~ Creator
