Can you keep a secret? Of course you can! Now I don’t know that you can keep my secret, but you are a master at keeping your own. I know that that is true; you know that that is true. We all keep secrets. We have this dark shadow, this dark side of us that isn’t something we want to share with the world.
When we do that, it does cause illness. When we do that we can’t completely heal. Prostate cancer for example is the energetic result of holding on to guilt and shame which is what happens when we keep our secrets. We keep them because we are ashamed, right?
Even if you are one of the few people on the planet that don’t have a conscience (which I know you are not, but they do exist!) and don’t think it matters about how your actions affect others you are still affected by guilt and shame. It is an underlying effect of secrets. No ifs, ands, whats or buts about it!
When we keep secrets it’s because we don’t want someone to know something about us. We can’t move forward in our life the way we were meant to as long as we are holding on to any secrets. Things you don’t want shared, things you want to keep dark and don’t want to shine a light on for yourself or someone else – these are secrets and they cause us to lie and create mistrust which results in guilt and shame. We can’t heal from anything – illness, addictions, divorce – until we acknowledge the secrets we hold.
Guilt and shame reside in the second chakra, which is where it is most prevalent. And it will manifest itself into illness and possibly disease of the organs there – prostate, uterus, ovaries, bladder, or kidneys if not resolved. Also your sexuality, creativity, joy and passion will be affected. Once you release your secrets, guilt and shame will melt away and provide you with healing to that area.
The reason we have secrets is because we don’t want to be judged by others in a negative way. But the stuff we are hiding, the stuff we are ashamed of, the stuff that we put in the box and lock it and throw away the key so no one will ever find it, these are the things that have been given to us as lessons. Given to us as gifts in our life to help us realize our soul’s purpose, to help us experience this lifetime the way we were supposed to experience it. We were given these [shameful] events to give us clarity. If we hide them and lock them away so they can’t be seen we will never be given the fruits of these gifts.
Who gives a shit about what other people think about you? They have their own life, they have their own secrets, they have their own guilt and shame and they have their own journey. Yours is here for you and once you can let go of how you feel about what other people think about you, you are free.
Now if you killed somebody or did some horrific crime, coming free with your secret could have consequences. Absolutely. And you have to make the decision whether you are willing to face these consequences. But remember, these consequences are also lessons and gifts of why you are here. So don’t be afraid of that. The end result will be exactly as it is supposed to be, simple as that.
So some secrets you might want to release slowly in a way that is less detrimental if you aren’t ready to experience what may happen like going to jail or losing a friend. You could try posting it on PostSecrets or simply writing it down. Get it out, get it in the open, get it out of the dark, shine a light on it. Do it for you. And those that love you will stand by you. If you don’t think you have anyone in your life that loves you that much, that could forgive you for your “sins” than know there are definitely others out there that will. I love you – maybe that isn’t enough but it is proof that someone does, whether you know them or not.
This is a really tough one, I know. But I encourage you to step into this challenge and free the energy from your body. And as always, I am forever here to help.
If you want to start right now, feel free to post the first secret you want to release below. Or email me confidentially just to get it out. I promise not to judge!
P.S. I LOVE YOU!
Excellent post Laura! One of my secrets is that I hide certain posts on Facebook from certain family and friends who might judge my psychic side. I know I shouldn’t care what they think and I’m working on coming out of the closet.
Hey Laura, great post. As an EFT Practitioner, I’d have to say that guilt and shame are the heaviest cloaks that people have. It’s can actually see a physical change in people when they shed those cloaks. Keep up these great posts encouraging people to ‘let go’. J x
Hi Laura,
love this post and yes it touched me and at the 2nd chakra too As we know when we get to ” what you think of me is none of my business” the shame along with the FUD factor disappeer

I LOVED this!! You are so straightforward and real, and I truly appreciate that about your style. I absolutely can relate to the guilt and shame of keeping a secret manifesting in my second chakra. And only when I release it, do I feel better. Brilliant message – thank you for this!! xo
What a fabulous post! I truly believe that holding onto grudges and guilt and shame will cause Dis-Ease in your body. I think you are right on that keeping a secret accelerates shame and guilt. We ARE all here to learn and grow, and the lessons presented to us are there for a reason. Share, share, share…what other people think of you is none of your business! 🙂
Beautiful post. I totally agree that shame is what keeps us trapped and ill. Nobody does care about our secrets because they are too busy worrying about their own. I used to work so hard at getting people to like me, to approve of me. It never worked but it has given me tools to help other people pleasers overcome the exhaustion of being the invisible woman, and for that I am very grateful.
Ohhh perfect… one of my biggest secrets and shames is that even though I am such a happy person and exude confidence, I carry a lot of shame… Its something I am working on, and I don’t believe its just mine… It feels ancesterol… but it takes it time to disperse!
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SHARE!! <3
I wondered what you meant by getting it out there for bit. The last few paragraphs gave me my answer. I was wondering if we had to broadcast to all. Funny thing is I revealed one secret to my husband, whom I was just dating at the time, hoping it would scare him away! LOL Seriously. I was so afraid of committment! Instead his response was that everything that you have done or been through has made you who you are and that is the person I love. It was a huge relief. And what I thought was so horrible wasn’t a big deal. I had told it once more to a group therapy group and some of them were envious! It’s all in our minds. Every thought about condemnation, hate, shame is all coming from us. No one else.

Laura, what struck me as I was reading your post is the incredible disservice we do to ourselves by holding stuff in. We can be so afraid that we’ll be harmed by what others think of us but all the while we’re harming ourselves by not letting our energy to flow freely. As Deanna shared, this is dis-ease.
I appreciate that you shared ways to let go to at least get the energy moving. I think it’s also important to say here that even though relief may come from sharing a secret, often there’s more ‘work’ to be done to release the stories we’ve told ourselves and to release the emotions that are associated with them.
