Episode description
What exactly is shadow work?
It's being brave and looking into our present and past from the eye of the observer . It is daring to look and feel into the parts of ourselves that we have suppressed.
When embarking on the journey of exploring our shadow self, we will begin a healing journey. We will spend time with our deepest wounds in a nonjudgmental way and while we do the work, we find awareness, acceptance and transformation.
Why is spending time with the shadow self important?
Our unhealed emotions stay with us, affecting our life experience, our relationships, self-worth, happiness and even our health. Surpassed emotions will continue to show up....
BUT good news,,,, with a little bravery, love , self-compassion + self awareness we can take our power back!
Shadow work is a trending topic, in fact it has been googled over 117,000.000,000 times! That's alot of zeros. Society as a whole is awakening and part of this awakening involves getting out of our old stuck patterns, ways and mindsets. And working with the shadow is POWERFUL for big shifts.
“Now is not the time for a fanciful dip into our shadow because it is sexy or fashionable. It is essential now more than ever, to bravely gaze into the darkest chambers of our hearts. It is only with an honest appraisal of the seat of our souls that we can mend ourselves individually and collectively." - Sarah Ghram
So if you are ready, first give yourself a big hug for showing up for yourself. You are AWESOME! Next, bring your pencil + paper, find a quiet space and press play.
