<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSoXQhKJ72w">Toxic shame</a> is when we are raised in a home where we are placed in situations that we are controlled in an abusive way/s that create our self image as less than.  We create us in a false way to be able to fit into a dysfunctional home environment and lose a part of the truth of who we are as a result.  Those who have had <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JyMG_uIfOE">toxic shame</a> as children and then as adults are in a shaming environment we revert back to those old behaviors through out our life.  We can break the patterns created in a <a href="http://bartsharp.com/personalgrowth-earthspirituality-intuition/if-we-let-go-of-anger-fear-and-shame-of-our-past-what-would-we-become/">toxic shame</a>environment by addressing our shamed child within us.</p>
<p>I recently worked with a woman who seemed to be in kind of a shock.  She told me the word that described her self was ungrounded.  Especially in situations that were stressful with others, she could not have the focus to speak her own mind.  She also found it difficult to remember details such as what she had read, the information appeared to pass right through her.</p>
<p>As we explored her life she told me of her mother and father and the unsafe environment that she grew up in.  She had little control with two parents who were intimidating and sometimes physically punitive.  It made the young girl feel overwhelmed with her interactions with the parents.  She was always nervous that she would do or say the wrong thing leaving her with a sometimes overwhelming anxiety.</p>
<p>The most brilliant thing she could do, as a protective device was to bring her awareness outside of herself as the little girl’s mind and spirit left in some ways.  She went out of her present state of being to function in daydreams, fantasies and in states of minor shock.  The benefit was that the painful experiences with her parents were not so intense.</p>
<p>Being partially disembodied or out of body is a common experience for those who grew up in stressful homes and/or were <a href="http://bartsharp.com/more-cds-cds-for-improving-health/cds-for-releasing-anger-and-the-traumas-of-abuse/ ">abused</a> in some way as children.  It is a defensive mechanism that directs us away from feeling so much of the pain back then. Often these people as adults are triggered by the same behaviors that they experienced as children.  For example, my client would become extremely nervous and would begin to stutter when people began to raise their voice, she lost her concentration.  The belittlement in her childhood was the toxic shame that would always guide her back to the behaviors of her past.   Also these people who ‘go out of themselves’ are often more psychic and/or more in tune with their surroundings.  They often develop their intuitive abilities as a way to predict aggression in their environment.</p>
<p>I began to work with the ashamed young girl that existed within the woman, those places that were suppressed deep inside that created the need to go out of her body.  Many of these were fractured parts of the woman existed.  As an intuitive therapist I began to help her identify the body memories of these suppressed experiences to find the part of the girl/woman separated. For example as she talked about how her mother yelled at her we could feel the tension in her stomach react to the recalled memory then we would begin the journey of finding a part of her that left as a result to the traumatizing experience with mom.  When the split part was reintegrated the tension in the stomach permanently went away and the person felt more present in themselves when around intimidating people.</p>
<p>By reliving the childhood experience my client learned how to feel them again inside of her as they resurfaced.  When the past energetic memories came back she had an opportunity to begin clearing them herself or with me.  The woman’s anxieties and fears continued to be relived as her body showed these old stressed memories to her, such as a tension in her stomach.  They were the same places she felt them as a child when her parents mistreated her.   Now the woman did energetic clearings to shift the memories to a neutral experience so they would no longer trigger her to being anxious or to stutter.</p>
<p>As dozens of these traumatized parts resolved the woman became more <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPlLYvXXRco">present</a> within herself, her body felt better and happier.  Through several weeks of work she was able to be present when others were angry and loud.  The ashamed disembodied places inside of her were integrated back and she did not revert to the nervous stutter when the stress was on. The woman’s actions to the toxic shame of her childhood had changed greatly and she was enjoying the fruits of it.</p>

<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>When we are in a home environment where were we are continually made to feel lesser than, belittled and/or abused the child experiences <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iWbcApFT6Q ">toxic shame</a>.  Toxic shame can happen in many forms from an alcoholic neglectful parent,<a href="http://bartsharp.com/more-cds-cds-for-improving-health/cds-for-releasing-anger-and-the-traumas-of-abuse/ "> abusive</a> father, dominating siblings and many more.  The child is taught early own to compromise their own identity and self-worth in order to fit into the dysfunctional situation.  Below is a story of one of the ways<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSoXQhKJ72w"> toxic shame</a> is created.</p>
<p>Some children may feel underneath others; their brothers, sisters and friends.  They desperately want them to be liked and played with.  There is something of an intrinsic value that this needy child could not identify in them selves that makes them feel separate from others.</p>
<p>The needy child seeks this unknown quality in others through winning their approval and attention.  This child would even compromise them self in order to get attention.  They would play the subservient role in order to form friendships with others.  In the end it is a dis-satisfying relationship and reinforces the belief that something unknown is still lacking in this child with less.  They are seeking an internal gift that none of their siblings or friends could give to them.</p>
<p>In the beginnings of an infant’s life when the parents receive their child into the world they can look at the child with love and excitement, through that transference occurs.  The baby is given a flame of love.  It is an energy that comes within the mother and father and through their caring, love and hope.  The gift is then set to grow.</p>
<p>The flame gives the child strength and an inner well-being.  A spirit evolves inside to explore and thrive.</p>
<p>If the infant is brought into the world without the gifts of love and kindness the child interprets this as their own fault.  A conclusion is drawn that there is something wrong with them.  Not on an intellectual level but something deep inside is wounded.  The inner flame is not nurtured and built upon by the parents.</p>
<p>There are many aspects of this gift the parents have for the child.  Some children are literally unwelcome, others are loved but the parents are not fully committed to be a mother or father.  Some parent’s carry significant wounds themselves so there is less presence in caring and loving to give to the infant.  The baby does not comprehend these aspects they sense the deficiency inside the parents and take the blame on them selves.</p>
<p>When a baby comes into the world they are the essence of joy.   As they grow into infancy the happiness that they are is an expression of love that is close to divine and at the same time innocent.   It is the child’s gift that they have to give to their parents and the world.  It is healing for the parents to receive their baby, as they can be inspired of this pure love that they once were.  It also reaffirms to the infant or child that they have value, giving them encouragement to share of them selves out into the world.</p>
<p>If the child is not acknowledged of their gift of <a href="http://bartsharp.com/personalgrowth-wealth-magic/triggered-to-abuse-anger-and-aggression/ ">love and are not affirmed</a> something begins to sour. They eventually begin to buy into their parents beliefs that the world is not a magical place.  The child believes that they are not magical.  The flame inside falters and the child begins to believe in the adult world of a lack of love.  Most importantly the child feels shame that they were incapable of making a difference.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1371" title="lion" src="http://bartsharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/lion-150x150.jpg" alt="lion" width="150" height="150" />Busting Out Of Painful Relationships, Letting Go Of Our Blaming Behaviors</p>
<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>I met Titus a few months ago as he came to me to let go of what he called “his insane anger towards his father, the most <a href="http://bartsharp.com/buy-books-and-cds/cd-letting-go-of-the-pain-in-love-and-relationships/ ">painful relationship o</a>f his life”.   As Titus told some of the stories of his life he spoke of how he was mistreated by his father and stated in detail of how his father had chosen time and time again to alienate Titus and other family members from him through his aggression.  I listened to Titus’ non-stop blaming of his life on his father for twenty minutes before I directed the angry man away from the attacks with one question. “What was your part in this Titus?”</p>
<p>Titus stopped.  For a long moment he could not respond.  Then finally said, “He is the person that created the crimes, what do you mean, ‘What is my part?’  I did nothing wrong here.”  I promptly agreed with Titus that he may have done nothing wrong in this situation but finding blame and how the other person wronged him will not find Titus much freedom from his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyDa3UA-Zo8">anger</a>.</p>
<p>The purpose of looking back at our past it is to find information and observe our feelings.  We are looking for the clarity to find out what we were contributing in the situations.  Even if it is a role of a victim or reacting in response with aggression we played a part of the conflict with our own life.</p>
<p>Titus and I took three of the stories of his father and began to break down what he did in the conflict, which was to fight back and be the protector of the other younger siblings.  Then Titus explored and felt the sensations of anger in his body when he relived the experiences.  From there Titus and I began to do <a href="http://bartsharp.com/magical-life-magic-magicalcreating-magicangeranger-managementanger-release/selfhealing-angermanagement-personalgrowth/ ">energetic clearings</a> on those type of memories and he finally began to receive relief from his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JS17nmx394">rage</a>.</p>
<p>When we relive our past and continue to <a href="http://bartsharp.com/magical-life-magic-magicalcreating-magicangeranger-managementanger-release/one-hundred-steps-of-blame-and-anger-that-lead-to-tragedy/">blame</a> the other person we find little to no resolve in the situation especially when it re-activates our anger.  We are basically re-stimulating the memory.  It then activates our adrenal glands through the resentments and we become charged by the emotional memory. For many they are unconscious of this pattern and do so to re-stimulate themselves in the negativity, as a way to activate their adrenal glands. The unconscious reward is they are stimulated from a negative experience, but none the less stimulated in this futile way.</p>
<p>It is a sad story for Titus that he spent much of his adult hood reliving his pains again and again.  Now he has an opportunity to finally let go of his past at a deeper level and live a much calmer, productive life.</p>

<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>An anger management Quiz can be quite simple.  Is your anger passive or active?  If it is passive, in other words the anger you experience is for most part not expressed but held inside of you.  Instead of taking an <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JyMG_uIfOE">anger</a> management quiz read the below story and receive some effective tools in how to release your suppressed anger.  If you follow the simple tools like Peter did, you may never have a passive form of <a href="http://bartsharp.com/more-cds-cds-for-improving-health/cds-for-releasing-anger-and-the-traumas-of-abuse/ ">anger</a> working against you again.</p>
<p>Peter was a quiet man who worked in an office as a computer programmer.  The work itself had its demands like most jobs.  But what overwhelmed Peter was his boss occasionally confronting him with parts of his performance he was performing up to par.  However, Peter was not singled out as the only person, the supervisor had strong expectations for everyone.</p>
<p>When Peter went home he experienced negative thoughts about his boss as he relived the incidents time and time again.  Those experiences grew into dread about what would happen the next time he was confronted and how he would like to react to this person above him.   Peter found himself harboring much anger towards this man who he had less than a dozen negative experiences with during his three-year tenure there.  In fact there was much that he respected about his boss.</p>
<p>When Peter went home or was in periods of time that he was quiet he would often find himself mentally reliving the <a href="http://bartsharp.com/personalgrowth-earthspirituality-intuition/from-resentful-and-angry-to-happy-and-intuitive/">resent</a>ments towards his boss in his head.  Oddly enough it effected his body as well.  Peter could feel the stress in his stomach as well as he relived the past and projected into an unknown future.</p>
<p>The fact of the matter was that this was not a new behavior for Peter as he resented other people who were authority figures, adversaries and people he was close to that he felt treated him unfairly.  It always seemed like there were a few people in his life that fit into this mold.</p>
<p>As Peter sat with his frustration with his boss an intuitive therapist had told him to feel the experience and not think it.  Willing to do this differently Peter sat quietly and felt the distress in his body.  After a few minutes of sitting with the uncomfortable sensations Peter could clearly feel the most intense area of stress were in his lower intestines on his right side.  The longer he remained focused on the sensations Peter developed more of an acute sensitivity to the energetic memories.  They felt in an odd way painful mainly because he was now hypersensitive to what they were, but the discomfort was not the same as a hurt from an injury.  It was the actual memory of the distress that Peter was experiencing.</p>
<p>Through practice over time Peter became adept at feeling these spots in his body that held an energetic memory of his emotions, especially <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JS17nmx394">anger</a> and <a href="http://bartsharp.com/more-cds-cds-for-improving-health/cds-for-releasing-anger-and-the-traumas-of-abuse/ ">trauma.</a> They would feel like hard rock shapes that resonated when he thought of the unpleasant occurrences in his life.   As Peter sat and paid attention to the uncomfortable parts in his body they would eventually soften and they appeared to transform into something lighter inside.  Peter saw a direct correlation to resolving the energetic memories and having fewer resentments in his thought processes.</p>
<p>After getting more guidance from his therapist friend Peter learned that his boss was not the first person he held resentments towards, it was a reoccurring pattern in his life.   The pains he felt from the experiences with his boss went back to an older source, his father.  Peter began to recall the memories with his father and feel them in the same ways he did with his boss.  Peter would relive those impossible, unhappy times and feel his body react in extremely stressful ways.  Although he felt the energies of shame, fear and anger in his body, but due to the fact he was coached of when doing this work he knew not to judge any of it as wrong or bad but to strictly observe it.   The reality was that these energetic memories of childhood were only the past hidden away and in most cases, suppressed away in fear.  Now Peter knew that none of this could hurt him, even if he had once believed they could as a child.  Peter observed the stories of his father controlling and abusing him, felt those sensations in his body in a non-judging way and they slowly began to change.</p>
<p>Peter had hundreds of these memories inside of him and they would reactivate when he was in a situation similar to the situations he had with his dad.  Peter’s boss was much like his father and therefore stimulated these past energies.  Since he has been working on the past with his father Peter has changed in his reactions to his boss.  He lost his distress, he can now receive criticism easily because an unconscious fear that has been there since his childhood is no longer reacting with him.</p>
<p>Peter continues to work for short times during the day on these memories when they come up.  It is simply the process of having a negative thought, then feeling the place that it parallels the thought with a body discomfort and being present with it.  He actually nurtures it through his presence with the energetic memory.  Peter will also ask his body where the memory originated.  Through practice Peter began to sometimes see an image of the memory in his consciousness.  Peter simply trusted that this is what the body distress is working from.  He proceeds with the work with a better idea of what memory is currently being stimulated.</p>
<p>As Peter evolved with his skills the level of depth to change his life improved.  He also began to pair this body memory work with energetic clearings.  This took the work much deeper at a faster pace.</p>
<p>In a years time of using these simple tools Peter has dramatically changed.  He no longer holds long terms resentments to other people. He remembers the unpleasant times with his father but does not have severe reactions to recalling the memories.  He looks at them in a detached point of view.  Since Peter no longer is habituated to being passively angry at the people he is closest to.  His focus has changed to live more happily minute to minute and not live in his past distresses.  He actually feels content when he is quiet and alone.  The weight of resentments do not plague him, instead he creates things in his life that he enjoys such as meditating, having a girlfriend, making art and gardening.</p>

<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>Anger management and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JS17nmx394">anger management techniques</a> may not the best long-term solution for our <a href="http://bartsharp.com/more-cds-cds-for-improving-health/cds-for-releasing-anger-and-the-traumas-of-abuse/ ">anger</a>.  What <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDnz1uabaNY">anger</a> management techniques offer to the person is better control their anger.  However anger management does not always address the long-term solution.   Somewhere inside the person the anger still exists, suppressed and ready to be activated.   Anger can be permanently resolved.</p>
<p>We can go from someone who uses anger as a destructive force to not holding the memories and energies that <a href="http://bartsharp.com/personalgrowth-wealth-magic/triggered-to-abuse-anger-and-aggression/">trigger us to become angr</a>y.  We can be free of this destructive cycle.</p>
<p>To begin the core of our anger that we express has a root with the anger they suppressed in their past.  If the angry person feels out of control with their anger, they may feel they are the affect of it or it controls them.   In most cases the angry person have had anger put or forced upon them in unfair situations, many times in repetitive situations.  They generally were disempowered in those situations, they either fought back and expressed it in destructive way or held it in and suppressed it.  Not only were they angry but also felt ashamed that somehow they were wrong in someway in those past situations.  Those experiences never got resolved so they become suppressed.  These people feel they often have a powder keg of anger inside of them, ready to go off.   This is where our destructive patterns of anger originate and are continually recreated from.</p>
<p>For many these experiences come out as anger later on in life as overbearing, controlling and/or an aggressive way.  Unfortunately once it is expressed it does not mean that it permanently goes away but is in a continual process of recreating itself.  We become stuck in our own patterns that were taught to us by angry people that could not get out of their own patterns.  Anger management techniques can be beneficial but are not the permanent solution.</p>
<p>However these patterns can change.  When we began the process of learning what happened to us, the stories, the behaviors we begin to feel the experiences again.  It is important to remember now we are not children but adults.  The past cannot hurt us again and we no longer need to avoid it but perceive it in a non-judging way, to observe it.  As we recall the stories and observe we can feel our body reacting as well.  We actually are feeling the memories of out experiences recorded in our body.  We are feeling the energetic memory of it.</p>
<p>The more we feel deeply in our body these memories they began to release.  As children if we were taught this we would have had a different experience.  I like to hold a memory and feel it in my body, just to observe it and nurture it.  It then settles and transforms.</p>
<p>As an intuitive therapist I find these body memories are numerous and take time.  I find that doing energetic clearings speeds up the process as well.  We have an amazing ability to suppress these things in a variety of ways.  If we address them when they come up we can began to change our selves forever.  It takes time, persistence, a willingness to listen within and a nurturing of our selves.  It is work worth doing as it will <a href="http://bartsharp.com/personalgrowth-earthspirituality-intuition/if-we-let-go-of-anger-fear-and-shame-of-our-past-what-would-we-become/">change all aspects of our lives forever.</a></p>

<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>Several years ago I began the process of identifying and letting go of my resentments I held of others using the Al Anon program.  By reviewing my life and seeing; who I held anger towards, finding out how I played a part of it and letting this past be released to a higher power I began finding a new freedom.  I was letting go of a past that clogged me up inside with emotional pain.  It was the first in a variety of modalities that I would use to uncover more freedom in my life.</p>
<p>The unexpected gift that I received was the birth of my intuitive abilities.  Somewhere in the release of my anger and resentments it opened a space for me to perceive within my body in a way I had never done before.  I began to notice that I was having messages come up from my stomach.  They were thoughts very much like the ones from my mind but they felt softer, wiser and were from a bigger place.</p>
<p>I quickly discovered that directionality was an important distinction as I felt information coming up into my awareness it was my intuitive self.  If the messages came from my head it was my mental self.</p>
<p>Each had different energetic qualities as well as the mental felt more tense and contracted and the intuitive was relaxed. Expansive, as if it was coming from a greater source.   It was soon that I could discriminate between the two and use them.</p>
<p>A few years down the road I began using a tool called Access Energy Transformation and there I learned to listen to my body.  Our bodies would find some way to signal or tell us greater information if we asked it. I found this concept to be very powerful.  By asking my body questions I would get a signal such as a surge of energy in my stomach.  As I used the Access tools I found that my awareness of me began to go outside of my body.  As I practiced over the next two years I could feel the energies of trees, cats, people and a variety of other things.  It was easy and felt natural.  With each energy that I perceived something new as they all felt different.  I was building a vocabulary.</p>
<p>A few years later I met someone who was very talented in perceiving energies, as she got to know me she was amazed how much I was out of my body.  I was surprised at first but eventually realized that the traumas and anger I held as a child were not really gone.  As a result of a traumatized childhood I was as much out of my body in my awareness as I was inside of it.  It was why I could perceive everything outside of me so easily.  In some unconscious place I was functioning there all along.</p>
<p>I then began a daily ongoing practice of feeling my emotions inside of me.  I thought that I was not angry but was very wrong.  I actually was still resentful towards people and generally had an ongoing internal conflict with one or two people most of the time.</p>
<p>I began to feel where those angers were located in my body.  As I identified who I was mad at and where the incident began I would feel it inside of me much stronger.  When I felt I knew the energy very clearly I began using Access energetic clearings and it would all transform in a strong energetic release inside of me.  I practiced these tools for weeks and began to feel tremendous freedom from anger.  As the months passed these tools developed to perceive not only the blocked energy inside of me but where it was creating the disembodied part of me.  When I was able to transform these energies I began to experience a joyfulness I had never known before.  It was the joy of being embodied.</p>
<p>As a result of this intense work my psychic abilities have increased expedential. Now I perceive things inside of me in a more profound way because I am in touch with my body more.  It is a process of getting to know our fears and when we find their sources we unleash them to find the gifts of us that have been suppressed with our limitations.  Then we grow in ways that we never thought we could.</p>

“The true opposite of depression is neither gaiety nor absence of pain but vitality, the freedom to experience spontaneous feelings.”  By Alice Miller from the book “Drama Of The Gifted Child’.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-986" title="fairey pool" src="http://bartsharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fairey-pool-300x300.jpg" alt="fairey pool" width="300" height="300" />Finding Vitality For Life!</p>
<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>“The true opposite of depression is neither gaiety nor absence of pain but vitality, the freedom to experience spontaneous feelings.”  By <a href="http://www.alice-miller.com/books_en.php">Alice Miller </a>from the book “Drama Of The Gifted Child’.</p>
<p>I always loved this statement as Alice Miller reflects to the state of being we become when we find wholeness in our life.  Being whole does not mean that we do not have conflicts or feel negative emotions.  In fact we may feel more.  The difference is that we will most likely not be over-whelmed with them.  We will have ways to process life and not hide from what bothers us.</p>
<p>When our dysfunction was created for most as children we were powerless over those who treated us unfairly.  As a result we had to contort ourselves to fit in and suppressed our feelings.  Those experiences lay dorment for most for years with a part of us holding those fears in place.  Those memories were not totally inactive as they were the underlying energies for depression, addictions, obsessions and more dysfunctional behaviors.</p>
<p>Those that willingly go forth and re-discover their past and find grace find a new freedom.  It is renewed vitality for living.  It is joy a feeling that they feel all of life completely for whatever it is, the good, the bad or the ugly.  We are turned on to living!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-949" title="pelican" src="http://bartsharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/pelican-300x300.jpg" alt="pelican" width="300" height="300" />Resolving Addictions And Addictive Behaviors For Good!</p>
<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>A common strategy to deal with any addiction whether it be with alcohol, drugs, overeating, sex etc… is to try to control our use of the behavior of the substance.  For many the way to success is forcing themselves not to use the addiction.  What it requires from the person is a certain level of intensity to stop the behavior.  It is using a force over the addicted part of us.</p>
<p>Although this is the most used scheme to solve the problem it is not the most effective and does not address the addiction as a whole.  What usually occurs for the person is somewhere down the road they return to the addiction or they transfer their addiction to another substance or behavior.  They are confronting their addiction like damming up a river but eventually the water will find a way to get through to the other side.</p>
<p>Looking at the definition of addiction gives us a key insight in resolving it.  Addiction is any substance or behavior used to avoid a less pleasant reality that we are in.</p>
<p>The key is to long term resolution with addiction is the journey into the reality that we were avoiding in the first place.  Finding where we were in pain or suffering in our past has most likely not left us.  It is there recorded within our body being the trigger to act and repeat our addictive behaviors.  The deeper we explore and resolve these deep memories that hurt us we take away the impetus to react to our addictions.</p>
<p>Of course the world of addiction is complicated.  We still need to learn better ways to live our lives and how to make healthier choices.  In addition, to find a spiritual strength and identity to rebirth are the joyful gifts we receive.  You are discovering a new way to live.  However the basis of long-term success with addiction is coming to terms with the suppressed pains the live inside of us.</p>
