I used to be very turned off by the idea of Shadow Work, but that’s because I didn’t really understand it. And frankly, it made me nervous.

Then it smacked me right in the face. I did some things that I couldn’t get my head around WHY I had done them. As I worked through it with the help of my husband, I saw it all very clearly. I saw the traumatized little girl in me who had never been seen or understood and I saw how her neediness had influenced my adult self.

I was surprised by this because I had had years of traditional therapy. I thought that I had “already dealt with all of that.” Turns out that talking about that shit and saying all the right things in some shrink’s office really doesn’t do the trick. That’s not shadow work. That’s just whining. (My opinion, ok? Doesn’t apply to everyone.)

Shadow work is about digging in and feeling the feelings that were present at the time of the trauma. Not necessarily re-living the trauma but just having true empathy for the person that you were at the time and letting it go. This involves a fair amount of unconditional love and forgiveness…for others, yes, but mostly for yourself!

I only know my own experience, and I suspect it’s different for everyone but the general process is the same. And the thing is, it can’t really happen until you’re ready. Until the layers upon layers of buried emotions related to that same issue get peeled away and you’re left with the original wound.

See, that’s how it works, you keep re-living that issue over and over until you can see the pattern of behavior and then let go of it. Every time you do the same thing, you add a layer in top of it. Over the years, that can be a lot of layers!

You may need to revisit an issue more than once. That’s ok! Every time you revisit it, you are going deeper. But don’t fall into victim mode where you are hanging on to the trauma. The goal is to let it go. You are not defined by what has happened in your life. Nor are you defined by what you did or didn’t do in response! You can choose, at any moment, to let go.

I’m no expert at this, but I would venture a guess that as many are awakening, they are being faced with the OPPORTUNITY to work with their shadow and heal their wounds. This is a good thing.

Sending you all so much Love,

Well, here’s another way to look at it.
This is repost, but it seems appropriate right now. 🤣

In my house we say, "Set down the turd box."

This means stop carrying around all the stuff that bothers you. Things happen in life, we all know that. But when we take the "turd" from that experience and we put it in a trunk that we then carry around with us going forward, we take that bad energy and we keep it. Then another thing happens and we put THAT turd in the box and so on, and so on until the box is so heavy, and smells so bad that it's all we can focus on. (This is why victim mentality is soooo harmful.)

Just set that shit down!😂 You don't need to carry that around with you. You CAN just decide to leave it behind.

(That's another great analogy from my hubby, who we lovingly call "Analogy Man".)

Seriously, set down the box and walk away. It's that easy. It's a decision.

And if you’re not aware already, Georgie and Leigh have an excellent method they’ve developed to release trauma that we’ve stored in our bodies and energetic fields.
I can personally attest to its efficacy!
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

For some folk our method is the last resort, when you realise that healing the spirit and the body are all interconnected, that's the real game changer.
If we can help anyone to Heal their Traumas (which the body stores as a survival mechanism) then we are happy bunnies. 😁

Additionally, Georgie and Leigh are an excellent resource for helping people to clear trauma.
Here is their website and channel.

I’m not pushing anyone to handle their issues in any particular way. As always follow your intuition and let Spirit guide you!

Conversations with God written by Neale Donald Walsch was released in the mid-90’s and is a trannoscript of sorts of his dialogues with the Creator.

As you might expect, many of the churches condemned it and all it takes is a quick internet search today to find all kinds of attempts to damn what he has written into the dustbin of time.

For me, that condemnation is a cue to take a look. When I did so for the first time several years ago, I realized that what was encased in the text was TRUTH. Pure and simple.

The message is clear, the resonance is unmistakable. But don’t take my word for it.
Each person has to find their way through their own frequency journey… their own resonance.
What finds its way to you in this life does so via your frequency.
Like attracts like.

If anyone needs or wants the CwG series….here ya go.

I read this series 22 years ago when I had an impromptu reading done and it really opened me spiritually.

It was love. The only way to describe it love. And I was set in a journey to learn more. These books were pivotal in beginning the journey to manifeststion.

Saying these phrases and relieving the sensation of guilt for feeling this way, or of the undeserving we are taught we should do, is so key.

Be what you desire in feeling first. Remember as children how easy that was? How easy to really feel like the firefighter or princess or loved and successful person, you dreamed of being? We dreamt of adventure and big homes, large families and acted them out from the heart space within the means we could. All before the world said you weren't good enough or couldn't. Or that a humble life is a life without and you should feel guilty for the desire to have fulfillment?

Where there is fear of be able to live our best lives you will see me go the opposite direction. We are so programmed to feel less worthy. It's crazy and it can take a bit to believe we are here to be our best selves. The best version of us as us in this vessel. But we are. And creation finds great joy in helping us get there.

I adore your write up I may need to dig my books out of storage❤️

Just a reminder. There’s some asshat out there pretending to be me and sending dm’s to people.

Ain’t me and I wouldn’t send you a message out of the blue. Plus, if you and I already have comms, any message will come on that existing thread. Not a new one.

I do not consent to having my identity impersonated or used without my permission.

We need some prayers here folks…
