Episode #24: Shadow Work:
Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Power," reminding us to utilize our research to the fullest and act on our own awareness creating "win-win" experiences.
Shadow work has to occur to have awakening. This can be emotional work, going deep and tapping into energetic frequencies that are low vibrational, for example shame, guilt, or rage. These emotions tend to hide in the shadows.
Delve into the parts of yourself that you do not want to acknowledge. It is not the emotion that is the problem, it is our relationship to that emotion. Shame, as a child, was important. As an adult there is no benefit to shame. Guilt keeps us accountable to being a good person, but shame is feeling bad about who we are rather than what happened.
There are parts of our inner child that are hurt, that we shove away to protect ourselves, and we have to admit and acknowledge what we are hiding in the shadows. Embrace that aspect of yourself and be aware of where you are energetically and accept these emotions from an nonjudgmental place to address them.
When you become triggered, it is not a moment to feel shame but a moment to pause and think, "What did that bring up in me that may be unresolved?" "What lesson can I learn from this?" The more shadow work done, there's less room for these triggers to have a strong effect on you. Come from a place of love and affection.
