But DON'T resist. The body must be able to defend itself. It is an important survival mechanism for the body. To not allow it to defend itself is to curtail its power. There is physical abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse, verbal abuse, and spiritual abuse.

ALL of ones memories are important to the soul. In spirit, no experience is shameful. All are celebrated. A goal for human consciousness too. There are many who will argue one does not need to remember the abuse to heal it.
