Are you afraid to face the shadow?

What Does It Look Like to Actually Face Your Own Shadow?

Facing the shadow means being willing to meet the rage, frustration, and disconnection left behind by painful experiences, rather than burying them or simply trying to move on. For me it meant years of dedicated spiritual study, courses, and workshops, and it became the doorway to spiritual liberation from childhood patterns I once thought I would carry for life.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥺 I felt dis-empowered by my life⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😤I felt unable to overcome the past. I felt unclear as how to take steps towards true resolve, true healing inside. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💃I chased after feeling good and doing everything to put the horrible past behind me. I made my mind up that I create my reality and moved on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧐I chose to find my happiness no matter how long it took me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😍At 25 I chose to move to a new state and start fresh. I saw this as an opportunity to choose high level, honest, kind, people with integrity into my life, people that acknowledged my worth as I was starting to.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙏I dedicated my life to understanding my spiritual journey no matter how painful. I studied, I took courses, I took workshops. I became the spiritual seeker at the age of 18 after a friend was murdered in my life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨I knew that exploring my relationship with God is the way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤩Now after years of spiritual study, deep internal work and learning to trust myself I have come to understand and embrace the shadow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What we call the shadow is often an exiled part of self, carrying a belief formed at a specific age. Meeting it directly is the work of age stage healing, and it is closely tied to the father wound and mother wound for many people.
