Shadow + Light Work
Bringing Light into Shadow Work
Shadow work is shining the Light of our awareness onto the Shadow aspects of our experience.
By illuminating the Light of our conscious awareness, we reveal the aspects of ourselves + imprints of our past experiences that hide in the alcoves + recesses of our subconscious mind.
Shadow work was originated by Carl Jung (1875-1961) Swiss psychiatrist/ psychoanalyst and influencer in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy and religious studies.
The work in shadow work is witnessing these previously unseen aspects of ourselves. These can be things we tried to forget, negative beliefs + programming.
Shame, guilt, fear, sorrow, low Self worth imprints, memories and behaviours that come from our pain are the shadows that hide in the depths of our consciousness and they sabotage our experience of life + our opportunities to give and receive Love. The shadow aspects stand between us and the Light of our True Nature. Shadow can keep us caged if we have no relationship or awareness of it.
The low vibe shadow does not align with the high vibrations of True Light that we are.
Seek your shadow aspects. Dance with them. Thank them, bless them, see them through the gaze of compassion and release them as they emancipate in the Light of your awareness. Become free of what has come between you and your True Nature.
When the Light of awareness is pointed at a dark aspect, it no longer has power to be scary, shameful or mysterious. When the shadow self is seen fully, fearlessly and compassionately, it is emancipated in the Light. Obviously this is a process, but once something is seen, it cannot be unseen. At that point, the process begins.
As the Light of consciousness awakens and expands (Self awareness), dark aspects of the shadow are revealed. When we do not look away, we become more aware of ourSelves. This is healing.
