			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m reading a book by Albert Ellis and Emmet Velten called <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0812693833?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=webpromotools&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0812693833" >Optimal Aging: Get Over Getting Older</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=webpromotools&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0812693833" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />. I opened it randomly and came to a page which had: Accept and forgive yourself unconditionally. It also mentioned shame attacking exercises.</p>
<p>This was a piece of synchronicity because forgiveness is the linchpin of my change work and <a href="http://transformativeimagination.com" >Transformative Imagination</a> practice. The synchronicity come from the fact that I recently wrote about the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.squidoo.com/yousuperstar" title="You the super star"  target="_blank">shame we feel</a>.</p>
<p>Here is the shame attacking exercise of Albert Ellis:</p>
<p>You basically select something safe (does not get you into trouble) that would shame you in the public. The safe means don&#8217;t go around in the public naked or pick someone&#8217;s pocket no matter how much it would shame you, but do pick your nose in the public or wear different color socks and show it obviously.</p>
<p>Dr. Ellis writes that thousands of people have done this shame attacking exercise and at first feel great shame and then the shame disappears. To quote from the book, &#8220;[they] feel at first somewhat ashamed or humiliated. But when they keep doing them, they often lose practically all sense of shame, and even greatly enjoy the process.&#8221;</p>
<p>As you let go of your shame (which comes from the fact that you were once a vulnerable child and had to be stopped from hurting yourself so your parent kept telling you no and shaming you), you can accept yourself and love yourself unconditionally.</p>
<p>This lets you experience the <a href="http://lifefocuscenter.com/blog/miracle-of-forgiveness/"  target="_blank">miracle of forgiveness</a> first hand.
