Knowing Is the Only Substance Ever Known

Working with Shame

A woman describes experiencing intense physical shame, even when feeling love for Rupert, and asks how to work with this overwhelming feeling that causes her sense of ‘I am’ to collapse. Rather than suggesting investigation as with Carlo, Rupert offers two specific practices: singing a song at Saturday’s gathering and spending ten minutes each morning looking in the mirror, explicitly acknowledging her beauty until it’s genuinely felt.
