Land Healing – Unravelling Shame
As part of the Unravelling Shame series in September 2024, we are encouraging everyone to offer land healing this month. Siân Williams has offered the steps she follows for this beautiful practice.
Unravelling Shame
Shame tells us we deserve the pain that we have faced /
It lives deep within our bodies and over time takes up more space
Name it to Tame it
Shame whispered lies, it called my name /
Made me believe I was to blame /
But deep inside, a voice remained /
A strength that couldn’t be contained
A Journey of Shame
The shame, it crept across my face /
As suddenly, I fell from grace /
The innocence that once was me /
Slipped away for all to see
A Pious Plot
Western town, unrenowned, shameful secret underground /
Stained forever, barbaric sin, a pious plot for innocents /
Cursed by clergy, State connivance, neighbour’s gossip, family silence
Teacher Knows Best
Seen never heard, shivering dread /
Sterile classroom, tedious curriculum /
Traumatised children, birth marked needy /
Cold hands reddened, overused weapon
I Wasn’t Interested in This
I didn’t achieve despite my dyslexia. I’ve done everything as me. Even how I write for you. You can hear my voice - can’t you? It’s not been stamped out in the ‘right’ way to write.
And She Removed the Cloak of Shame
Are you ready & willing to shed?
Can you feel the transformational fire spiraling up from the earth awakening your vessel to its fullest potential?
What will you create once you allow the element of fire to alchemize & purify?
Shame
For years now I have shamed /
The pieces of me that they named /
As unworthy, not enough /
Too loud, untamed /
I stand tall now /
No longer hidden /
By all they shamed /
And said was forbidden
Motherhood
So hush the voice that says you're wrong /
You're in the place where you belong /
For in your care, your child will thrive /
You’re more than enough, and you will survive
