Ep4 | Shadow Work- Discover the Freedom that comes from Working through our Shadow

Published: Dec. 23, 2020, 9 a.m.

 We dive deep into shadow work, we discuss what shadow is, how to discover what is lurking in our shadow, and how to work with it and integrate it. We explain why the more shadow work we do, the lighter, freer, and more authentic we feel. 

 

We also talk about triggers and projections, what they are, and how they play into shadow work. 

 

Steps to work with shadow:

1- Think of a rejected aspect of self. 

2- Bring it to mind for a moment and then write it down in a journal.  

3- In your mind imagine the worst possible scenario happening- the person who you never want to find out about this finds out. Watch this play out in your mind, watch the emotions and how your body feels as you think about this. 

4- Then tell someone you trust about this shadow aspect, like a confession.

5- Start to notice little ways you can air it throughout the week. 

6- Stay with discomfort as it comes up.
