My Philosophy
When we ignore our Shadow Self, it lurks behind the scenes and pulls all the strings, causing chaos in our lives.
I believe many of our underlying problems stem from our shadow aspects, what I like to call our inner puppet master.
WHY?
Our Shadow Self, the part of us that holds our repressed emotions, desires, and fears, can bring chaos into our lives if left unexamined. It often manifests in destructive patterns, self-sabotage, and conflicts with others.
When we reject or ignore our shadowy parts and patterns, they remain in control, repeatedly reinforcing our unconscious behaviours, deeply rooted fears, imbalanced emotions, self-sabotaging behaviours, and limiting beliefs. This leads to us broadcasting out negative signals and low vibrations.
Pushed-down shadowy parts generate toxic energetic patterns with a low vibrational frequency, especially when sustained over time. Prolonged negative emotions evolve into negative thought patterns, which can manifest into physical forms and draw unfavourable circumstances. These emotions drain our vitality, making areas of our life or body prone to ailments or difficulties the first to be affected.
SOLUTION?
However, by acknowledging and embracing our Shadow Self, we can begin the process of healing and integration. We can gradually bring light to the shadows through self-reflection, therapy, or practices like Shamanic work, journaling and meditation, leading to greater self-awareness and inner harmony.
By accessing our subconscious mind through methods like Shamanic Journeying, guided meditation, and optimizing our energy, we can bring our hidden programming, beliefs, patterns, and plans to the surface.
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate. ― C.G. Jung
Shamanic Spiritual Healing Work can help address, understand, and get to the root, allowing us to transform these hidden aspects into something more empowering and healthy. Because what we bring to the consciousness, we can change.
Embracing our Shadow Self is not about eradicating it but understanding and accepting it as a crucial part of our wholeness.
By accepting and confronting these shadow parts, you can break free from negative patterns and harmful thoughts, regain your power, and create a brighter future for yourself.
Signs your Shadow Self is in control
Identifying the source of your struggles
Have you tried making changes but still can’t pinpoint the underlying problem?
Signs that you may be stuck – trapped in a negative cycle or pattern
- Your thoughts keep looping, racing, or spiraling, dwelling on the past and imagining a bleak future.
- You often sabotage your own plans and desires, but can’t pinpoint why.
- Something is holding you back from pursuing your dreams, ideas, and plans.
- Find yourself acting invisible and small. You often believe you’re not good, skilled, qualified enough.
- You’ve tried many times to get unstuck, taking one step forward, but then three steps back to return to your safe, yet toxic, place.
Struggling with Meaningful Relationships? Here’s Why:
- You yearn for deep connections, yet avoid people due to fear of judgment, mistrust, and vulnerability.
- Social situations trigger awkwardness, anxiety, and a fear of saying or doing the wrong thing.
- Past experiences have left you believing people will gossip and speak ill of you, making it easier to isolate yourself.
- You have difficulty setting healthy boundaries and prioritizing self-care, often leading to feelings of guilt when putting yourself first.
- Fear of rejection, betrayal, and abandonment can arise from a tendency to people-please and avoid saying “no”.
Feeling Overwhelmed with No Sense of Purpose?
- It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed amidst the chaos
- Discovering your true purpose may seem daunting and impossible
- It’s easier to ignore the concept of destiny altogether
- Living life on autopilot and filling the void with external things has become a routine
