Ep. 33 How to Recognize Your Shadow
In this episode I talk about some simple ways you can begin to get in touch with your own shadow issues so that you can heal and reintegrate them. This is an essential first step in doing shadow work because "you don't know what you don't know." These 4 suggestions will help you explore and analyze the ways your shadow reveals itself in your day-to-day life, which will be tremendously helpful as you move forward with healing work that leads to your spiritual growth. These 4 suggestions are:
- Examine conflicts in your work or daily life and analyze the other people who are part of those conflicts.
- Review situations that cause you to lose control over your emotions. Identify the surface emotions you feel and look for the deeper hidden emotions in those situations.
- Scrutinize the blow-ups you have with other people. Record the details so that you can review them in the future to look for commonalities.
- Analyze your dreams for evidence of hidden issues that your subconscious is trying to push to the surface.
Be courageous as you begin this work because it is important and necessary! Francis Weller writes that "unexpressed sorrow blocks access to the Soul" which is why we must give expression to all that is hidden deep inside the shadow.
