What is shadow work and why it's needed?

Shadow work is not about fixing yourself or about fixing anyone else (even though you will want to so that you feel better)

It’s about reclaiming the parts of you that learned to hide in your younger years. It's about pushing aside that part of you that needed to be loved, and yet you didn't want to or didn't know how to. I know I did it for years. I would get mad at myself for feeling and tell myself to get it together.

Your shadow holds:– Suppressed emotions– Unspoken truth– Abandoned inner child parts and abuse/neglect– Intuition you were taught not to trust.

When we don’t integrate the shadow, it controls us quietly—through anxiety, self-sabotage, rudeness, people-pleasing, and burnout. We also hurt others while hurting ourselves. We ignore, ghost and are not able to respond to those who need us or want to support us.

Shadow integration is how you come back into wholeness and manifest the life you want.

We have to see, hear and feel the shadow…only then can we integrate. Literally tell it we see it, we hear it, and we feel it.

It’s NOT only love and light.

Anyone telling you that is lying and gaslighting their own existence!

It's not the truth and that is not the truth of the real work that we need to be doing to love ourselves fully.

Many people will tell me that is harsh. I say, "I honor you and what you think, but it is not the truth."

Many times I too would get angry if I was feeling any negative emotions...I was programmed and conditioned to think that I could never make it right- I didn't know how- or who am I to step ahead of so many?

If you have been curious

If you have been wondering how you can work with these aspects.....This months healing group is for you. You can meet a part of you that needs to be seen. You can get a taste.....

It is exciting to come into group.

To emerge out of where we are.

To move the energy. To clear out the inner clutter and regain footing on the next path. We are here, and so is the divine at this table.

In SOUL HEALING IN JANUARY, I guide you through this work safely, gently, and powerfully.

If you feel called to become a healer yourself, Reiki practitioner classes will be opening soon as well. To help yourself heal and others if you choose.

👉 Save your seat👉 Or book a connection call for personal healing

You are not broken. You are incomplete only where you’ve been taught to disconnect.

With so much love, you can absolutely have it all!
