October 4, 2024: Shadow work: what is the underlying meaning?

Hello Meraki’s, everyone's day is going well! I have definitely had an interesting day today. This morning I woke up rather tired, which isn't surprising since I went to bed at 12:44 am this morning. Yesterday I was finally able to get groceries, then I cooked other groceries I had, I also meal prepped, finally ate, had to pack as I'm going to Houston, then my night routine. I slept well then a little restlessly. I was trying to figure out if it's because of something that happened last night, or if I just didn't want to go to Houston, and kept gravitating towards my phone. I felt more comforted after paying what I needed off and allocating my money where I felt it should go. I've been cluing into actions, thoughts, and my body and integrating my spirituality. Today I decided to learn about vibrations and shadow work. As I am learning I'm told to try this exercise: write down Characteristics( part of yourself that makes you scared of yourself), Attitudes( Attitudes of yourself that make you hate yourself), and Actions /Behaviors( Actions that make you ashamed of yourself). Write down five for each and really confront them and look at the underlying meaning of them, not the thoughts. When I was writing the structure down to do later, I felt called to write at least one for each, and I found myself surrendering to them and realizing where they stem from, I started crying, and crying harder as I let it be and released so much that I cried and talked about it for 2 hours, maybe even longer( I'm at work btw). I'm not saying that shadow work could happen like this immediately or that it was even easy, but when you let those thoughts be, really question the hidden meaning and talk it out loud as you bring separate ideas together, you come to these Self-realizations and what was really bringing you down. I recommend watching: Shadow work: When nothing else is working, do this. by Quasi Johir; after watch the video that holds the exercise I was talking about: Shadow work: do this for 30d and you will be unrecognizable by Quasi as well. As much as what the titles say, he's very great at explaining in an easier to understand way of working with Shadow work. I have gone through numerous Self-realizations, healings and confirming communications with myself in just the past 4 hours, as I am slowly and surely surrendering to my higher self. Enough seriousness, Today other than that I have been a little sleepy and I find myself reaching to eat, which is very interesting. I have to drive 4 hours to Houston, and I'm so excited; it's a great time to really sit with yourself and enjoy being present. I do talk to myself, which some have looked at me crazy for( I look at y'all crazy for not doing so), and for me it's a great time to group separate thoughts and make connections with myself. Often when I do, I don't even remember where I began and how I came to the end, but it helps when I encounter any situations I did talk about during that time. I really recommend trying it, especially when your mind is racing and you can't think about just one thing. It's gonna be a bit smaller today as I'm rather emotional. I love you sooo much! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you're in mine. Grand Rising! Sweet Dreams! And or Good Afternoon! Muah

Words to Know

Shadow work: The shadow is the repressed parts of ourselves that we find unpleasant or cannot tolerate acknowledging. It is in the nature of our shadows that we cannot see them clearly. Shadow work is the unification of who we consciously are with the parts of ourselves that we repress.
