When Did You Last Check In With Your Shadow Self?
Shadow.
Six letters. One word. Thousands of emotions, opinions, biases.
“Darkness is nasty. Darkness is destructive. Darkness is this and that. Turn to light instead.”
Agreed. Turn to light, but only after you have checked in with your shadow self first. Only after it taught you what you needed to know in order to heal. Only after it’s shown you some of that which you’ve been suppressing and hiding your whole life. Your darkest secrets, your worst fears. That trauma. Those wounds. The pain. The horror.
Acknowledge darkness. Talk to it. Listen to it. Learn from it.
I’ll leave you with a link to a very insightful article regarding shadow work. I hope you find it engaging and worth reflecting on!
