  • I feel my soulfulness redeemed by this conversation! A language I’ll be steeping in for the work of soul retrieval and healing shame. Also the inclusiveness and transcendence of multicultural wisdom. As a white American I found soulfulness and ancestral healing from my Irish Celtic roots but also feel the deep connection from African wisdom. Thank you women who are wise, respectful, woke and kind! We are the rainbow healers of our present, past future.

Your ability to explain this subject is outstanding. The questions were very important to clarify the subjects you spoke about.
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this amazing time and your most important work!

  • “shame is a disconnecting process; shame disconnects us from our inner wisdom, the truth of our worth and value, the truth that we are lovable and loved” – Dr. Shelly P. Harrell (31:41). . .. “connection is the key to our healing” (1:05:30) – Pamela Ayo Yetunde

  • This conversation contextualizes what I’ve learned about shame, compassion, polyvagal theory throughout this series and translates it into a language of soulfulness that makes sense to me at what feels like a cellular level. The interplay between Dr. Shelley and Dr. Pamela personifies that transformative, liberation connection between souls/vagal energies. The guided meditation will be working on my mind, heart and soul . . . I suspect . . . Forever. Thank you both for the blessing of your wisdom and healing presence.

  • Thank you both, Pamela and Shelly for this talk. Shelly, I would love to have a copy of this short kindeness meditation as well. I am a white Swiss living in Zürich Switzerland. I felt included in your talk, and the meditation deeply resonated with me, having my grandmother as an ancestor saying this to me. This is a blessing to me. I feel grateful.

  • I felt soulfulness in me until my experience with chronic pain. Chronic pain really impacts my perception of my soul. I didn’t know this about the human condition until now!

    Reply

  • This was tremendously uplifting and grounded in practical wisdom. Two takeaways for me were the advice that Professional Healers get to know their own roots of shame. And, the powerful practice of invoking ancestors presence, to affirm and remind us of our worth, dignity, and safety. Thank You!
