What is the shadow?
Oct 24, 2024It is the hidden dynamics that rule our lives. If we are not aware of ourselves, our patterns and our hidden parts, they will overrule our intentions and our desires.
The law of attraction mostly works against you by virtue of these hidden dynamics that activate via triggers outside of your conscious control.
Your shadow parts are just one aspect that runs your life.
It’s the part of you that you dislike and wish you would not be or that part of you that you would love to see but are too shy to show the world.
People you are repelled by or attracted to may carry hidden shadow aspects of yours.
This is a big a topic to unpack. If you’re truly willing to gain power over your unconscious patterns, attractor patterns, your shameful behaviours or the path to enlightenment, the shadow is the place to look
What is the shadow?
The shadow is that part of ourselves that we dislike and wish would not be there.
The part of us we are ashamed of and want to hide from others.
An aspect of ourselves or someone else that we judge.
How is it formed?
A shadow starts to appear when we are children and told how NOT to be, think and act.
We separate ourselves into parts of acceptable and unacceptable. I am this, I am not that.
We separate ourselves into those parts and the hidden parts become our shadow...
The consequences of preserving our shadow:
As we live our life, we lose energy to keep the hidden parts away from surfacing.
This creates background noise in our mind that keeps us from being present.
This hidden noise activates our brain (receiver) to attract like ‘noise’ into our life.
The very thing we try to hide shows up in other people, our relationships and our children.
If we don’t pay attention to our hidden parts and bring them to light they will get our attention
by attracting unpleasant circumstances into our life.
We have repeat cycles of up’s and downs, financial gains and loss, triumph and tragedy, avoiding and seeking us against them.
You have low self love, carry shame, guilt and fear about your hidden parts.
How to resolve our shadows:
1. Recognition that you are whole (you have those parts inside of you wether you show them or not
2. No longer hiding or pretending they are not there.
3. Gently begin to honour those hidden parts in you, recognise their benefits and how they serve you.
4. Gently allow those parts to be re-integrated into your life.
5. Recognise that your power, potential and higher energy is available when those parts are there.
To resolve our shadow aspects we need to learn to love them. This comes by understanding the benefits of this aspect and how it serves you.
In the Transform Yourself Process we look into various shadows that run your life, we integrate them so you have access to the power, emotions and hidden gems that the shadows carry.
