Once upon a time… My journey started about a year ago with the suggestion: “Do some shadow works!“
I remember clearly, I stood there, staring before me, my head was full with questions, and I had even no idea, what the heck is this shadow working… Till that day, almost a year passed. Now I have many answeres for this question. I don’t think, I can collect in one post all my knowledge and experiences about this, but I try my best to clarify to you, what I’ve learnt.
Where is light, there are shadows… In this 3D world for every case.
I’ve met with the term shadow work first in June 2021. I worked on my brand-new story, I was full with passion and motivation, ideas and plotlines, when I got the worst sickness ever, what an author ever can get: the white-screen syndrome. Or, in a more common name, a writer’s block.
I remember, I sat in front of the monitor, starred at the white screen, and it caused me physical pain to write even a word. My head depleted, my motivation disappeared. And I had no idea, what happened to me. That was the time, when I was so confused, that I opened me up for everything. And at the end my sister brought me the sollution on a silver plate…
It happened weeks later of my writer’s block, when one day she sent me a link. She is very spiritually, so there was no surprise, that the link led to a tarot reading. First I was so: It will help me out, of course… [sarcasm]. But because I promised her that I will watch it, and I always try to keep my word, I watched it. Don’t worry, I was very sceptic, as well. I was the one who has never believed in things like these. But, I will be honest, at the end of the video I was so confused, like Adam at Mother’s Day.
That reading talked about my career [no, as a collective reading, it talked about everybody else’s career], and it resonated in 100%. I wondered, how could it happened? It made me curious. So, though I was still sceptic, I started to watch different readings. Okay, I know, it sounds weired, but if you are so terrified, that you will lost your beloved life/career, you would try out everything, too, which gives you the hope that it will maybe help. Trust me, you would…
So, that happened then. I watched readings after readings, on one hand because they were talking about, that I am on the right path, I am a natural born writer etc (true or not, it’s good to hear that I was born to write. Sorry guys, I am a human 😅 ) But the more important, I got the message again and again, that now I have some mental issues, like burn-out, depression, PTSD or something like this, and I am recommended to do some shadow work. Amazing! But what is this shadow work thing?
Well, I started to research. And research. And… More research! And I got no answers, however I found a lot of videos and articles in this issue. (“Welcome to the Internet, have a look around…” 🎶 ). Many different point of views, many different opinions, experiences but I was still confused. You know, why? Because all of these videos and articles were scratching just the surface. Shadow working, exactly, is nothing more, but a deep healing process. A tool to deprogramming yourself. To understand, that your limited belives about yourself, your relationships, job, career, family, or the world at large is not real. It’s an amazing (and painful) shifting program, what helps you to change your mind. To enlight yourself. To be happy and free.
Of course, because it’s a very complex thing, you have to go deeper and deeper by layer to layer. Shadow work is the thing what helps you better understanding not just yourself, but the world around you. It helps you to forgive. Not just for the others, for yourself as well (that’s the most important part, by the way, to forgive yourself. You are human. You are not perfect. Sorry.)
Now, we are in the timeline of happiness. Everybody wants to be happy. (And successfull, and rich, and beautiful… Turn back to this later.) And there is a very narrow circle who are really can reach it. However you were born to be happy (hard to believe, right?). The reason of it: many of the people turn outwards, and try to find the sollution there. But all you need fr your own satisfaction is within you. No one else can change your life except you. And it’s much more easier, than you ever thought, trust me.
As I wrote in the title, it’s a briefly post about this huge topic. In the next few posts I will write about the tools one by one, like inner-child healing, IET, sound therapies, CBT (cognitive behavior therapy), meditation, even light languages. All of these helped me a lot.
But I hope, I could give you a little guidance about the topic, and I could hit the point: it’s not magic, it’s a medicine to your soul.
I wish all of you to have a wonderful day ❤
