Fear and shame causes a block to our spirituality. Shame, in its simplest terms according to researcher Brene Brown, is the fear of disconnection. It’s the fear that something about me is bad or wrong in some way that if other people know it they won’t want to connect to me. That fear makes us turn off spirituality. Fear has something to tell us about what we value and what we think is possible. It’s meant for us to investigate, not to control us. When we become curious about it and push through the fear, we can find that connection.
