Self Discovery Through Shadowwork

Start

Shadowwork is incredible work that one can do to master the self. It can also heal one emotionally, spiritually and physically.

It is an excellent tool that can advance one towards ultimate self-realization. It is only when we peel back the layers of the egoic mind and our false programming, that one can be enlightened to the truth of who they are, on a soul level.

This article briefly describes an exercise you can use to start doing shadowwork, which is called "mirroring". Whenever someone or something "triggers" or evokes a negative egoic response in you, "mirror" or internalize and reflect what in you is perceiving this and projecting it outward.

Here I will use the example of someone being "ghosted" in a relationship. However, you can use this with any trigger. I recommend that anytime anything triggers you and you get a negative vibrational response, use this technique and journal. After a while, the mirroring exercise becomes second nature and you may not need to journal.

Mirroring:

1. Write down what the trigger was: "he ghosted me again".

2. Write down how it made you feel: "it made me feel rejected and vulnerable and unloved".

3. Mirror it back to yourself (as we all are just mirrors to each other and whatever another does is not to us but something in them): "I have been denying my own needs and abandoning myself, I don't trust myself fully and I don't love myself fully. I feel unworthy".

4. Choose an archetype of yourself at any age (I envision my inner child at 5 years old) and ask this version of you what you can do to resolve this issue in yourself. You will get an answer (it's actually from your higher self/soul): "you need to start taking care of your health and priorities, follow through. Start trusting and establishing your boundaries and know that you are divine and perfectly imperfect in every way and loved".

This will likely shed much of the ego over time, allowing way for the highest expression of authenticity and power to emerge; it truly does work. It is a miracle if you do this work, how much you will change and also the Law of Attraction "LOA" will work for you and attract what you TRULY want and feel you deserve.

You will realize that your thoughts and bodies are not what is real. And that you need NOTHING outside of yourself to validate you, as all perception and emotion originates from within you and from nowhere else. Also, when it comes to love and relationships, once you do this work you will no longer "need" a relationship but you may "want" one. That is a much better thing and it supports the LOA rule of already feeling abundant to attract what it is you want. If you radiate love of self... Love comes to you. To have a truly unconditionally loving relationship you must embody this and the only way is to shed false programming and become who you're truly meant to be. The highest form of the true sovereign expression of self, in balance with your ego and ONE with ALL that is.

Blessings and love to you in your journey to self discovery and mastery!
