Shame the Weight of Silence - Rape

Send us Fan MailI speak about the act of rape and the society's normalization of an action that is controlling, overpowering and fearful.  I speak about it from an a place of how shame is a silencer and how difficult it is for people to come forward and speak about it because of the shame.  The truth of the matter is that the weight of shame is not for the person that it happened to, it is for the inadequacies of the perpetrator.  I speak about how our society normalizes it from a Hollywood stand point and that Harvey Weinstein is such a perpetrator.  I talk about it from a chakra perspective and how it affects the victim and what healing needs to occur in order to become whole.I bring this to the light for discussion so that the shame be lifted and that I may join the many brave women that have spoken out against such a sinful act and the consequences of actions.  From a male/female perspective I speak to it as a way of showing that the emotional consequences of this is because of a lack of a good solid character foundation.  I turn the tables so that men/perpetrators can look at their own emotional failings to hopefully open discussion into the knowing of what is right and what is wrong and how to step into a more vulnerable state of being in order to heal this for themselves.  I speak about the Divine Feminine and how perhaps there is a lack of vulnerability, softness and compassion within the perpetrator and it is with great hope and faith that there are brave men/women that can speak to the healings required by perpetrators so that the age old act NOT be normalized but to be rightfully rectified in all ways.  So that all victims have a voice, can speak their truth, can give the shame some air a light so that it may be exposed and the weight to be lifted.  To give themselves freedom from disempowerment.I pray this gives strength to those sitting in shame, the weight of silence and they have the courage to free themselves from being a victim just as other victims have done for me.With deepest regard,Jackie Gutknecht  Connect with me for a healing session at Thelightembrace.com
