Hey it’s beautiful evening here, feeling in a good space mind ,body and spirit.Listening to some soul soothing songs to keep me tuned in my right frequency.
Eye been thinking of writing about to my own spiritual journey ,things that might help other beautiful souls like you even though some might resonate with you all and that’s fine .
Today I chose to talk about shadow work , what is it and how can you work with it .
Shadow Work is simply looking at parts of yourself that you haven’t seen or met before or I would say it’s part of human psyche that stores our painful memories and traumas outside our conscious awareness .
What do I mean by Shadow?
A Shadow is parts of yourself that you’ve denied ,or hidden away .It’s parts of the self you ’v denied to be like .For instance babies do not have shadows because they express exactly how they’re feeling ,they cry when they’ re unhappy ,smile when they happy .They ‘re completely authentic ,they don’t hold back or hesitate they just express who they are and what’s going on inside however as you grow up your culture, surroundings ,parents ,friends etc teaches you that parts of yourself are not unacceptable and sometimes the messages they send to you comes in pretty harsh way so you slowly learn to hide those parts of you as an unacceptable .
Therefore anytime you’ve had an emotional reaction to something that was negative (low energy) ,your subconscious mind believes this is part of you that you don’t want to see any longer . So it relegates that part your psyche into an energetic dungeon in your subconscious mind where it slowly starts to mess up with perception of reality.
So whenever you label any part of you as bad, you’re the one who experiences the badness of it-this is because all creation is an extension soon the the same way that each one of you is an extension of the source consciousness .Therefore when you continue to hate the aspect of yourself ,you continue to charge that energy with a negative polarity and it can get worst to an extend that it might become kind of energetic entity in your psyche ,some people would say “I’m fighting my inner demons or elementals “ Learn to be gentle with yourself or certain things trigger me .
A trigger is your mind’s way that thinks its helping you navigate through reality but it doesn’t know that actually its just causing you to suffer ,that’s you some people have accumulated such enormous pain bodies because you ‘re slowly building up those negative emotions in the name of “triggers”
Every motion of the your mind that retains a portion of your consciousness and whenever you (creator) doesn’t want to look at apart o itself that it has been created ,it polarizes that energy to negative that we feel without acknowledging it as part of ourselves becomes relegated to the shadow hence this negative energy creates suffering for the source (You) until you are able to reconcile that energy back into self again
So how can you heal yourself through shadow work ?
1.Forgiveness
To forgive the past is to see the gift that it gave you and the lesson that it offered you and realize that it was always working for the highest good .Gratitude is the highest powerful healing energy because not only you love that painful part of yourself but you’re actually grateful for it.Therefore while you’re feeling the pain ,ask it to forgive you for rejecting for so long .You also want to view this pain as the hated aspect of yourself that’s been hiding in the shadows for so long too afraid to step out of the light and be seen .
2. Awareness
Becoming aware of your triggers is most important step because awareness is what brings healing .When you feel triggered ,become present of what you’re feeling and look straight at it and ask the feeling who its representing and you look deeper into the eyes fo the pain ,It will start to reveal the fears ,beliefs and memories that’s representing .
Allow yourself to feel it ,if a wave of painful emotions comes on ,embrace it ,allow yourself to be broken, if you need to cry to cry or scream give yourself space to do that .All pain must be felt out of the body and simply by feeling the pain you allow it to be released back to the higher power.
Based from my personal experience in order to heal this fragmentation of psyche by starting to acknowledge it with loving awareness .Whenever you look at part of you that wasn’t accepted when it was created ,you basically healing the separation and bringing that part of yourself back into oneness again however remember shadow work is something that can’t .be rushed .You might go through a really intense healing session and then the ego will be in a rush to claim that its completely healed and free of that trigger now .
Don’t rush on your healing just the same the same way love is patient, kind and it doesn’t even ask something to change , instead it simply loves something exactly as it is and alone is what brings the healing .The moment you become willing to look at your pain with the eye of love ,the healing process has began and once it starts it can’t be reversed .Peace and light
