So many people are uncomfortable with this exercise but that's why I say shadow work is NOT sunshine and rainbows.
Shadows are dark. And usually unwanted. Judged. Condemned.
So the person who is selfless to a fault is going to see this and say "no way! That person's so selfish"
And the faithful person is going to say "I'd never be so disloyal to anyone ever! That's not my shadow!"
And the empath will say "they're a narcissist we're nothing alike, this post is so wrong".
Your shadow isn't always "what you do". It can also be WHY you do it. And it can be why you do NOT go after what you deserve and what is meant for you in life.
For example: if you are hyper critical of the selfishness of others and you use that to justify how selfless you are, you might choose to put others first in situations where you were supposed to stand up for and honor your own Self. And you could lead an entire life making these decisions. Always putting everyone around you to the tippy top of the priority list. And if that brings you joy - great. But if not, maybe this shadow is controlling you more than you realized.
Shadow Work is messy, it isn't fun, you're re- opening all of the wounds and melting off the scar tissue to see what makes you tick the way that you tock. But if you feel like you're stuck in the same cycles as your parents and their parents before them - instead of scoffing at posts like this, sit in silence and get real intimate with your shadows. You'll never tame them if you pretend they aren't yours to command.

Search this channel and also Ash’s for the terms “shadow work” and “inner child” and you’ll find oodles of info on this stuff.
Pretty sure we did at least one chat about it too.

Let Truth be your guide and stay loyal to that. All the while knowing that your understanding of it will change.
Too many marry the thoughts they have today saying, “Till death do us part,” and not realizing that they’ve damned themselves to ignorance in doing so.

First, learn the rules inside and out - the what, the why, the how, the when.
Then, break them.

Do what you need to do in order to feel as though you’ve earned the permission to _________.
Some people need to go through massive trials and tribulations before they feel worthy of forgiveness or worthiness. Some people need rituals and affirmations. Some people need a priest or guru to grant them a blessing. Some people need a spiritual experience on a deep level. Often all of this is because there’s an element of Shame involved that needs to be released.
Some people don’t really need any of that because they already Know that they’re worthy and have given themSelves permission to do, be and have whatever they wish. Deep down they Know who and what they ARE at their core.
The ultimate goal is to get to the point where the “permission slips” are coming from within the Self. Ultimately, that’s where they ALL come from, but we go through a process of needing the external validation before we learn that the Power was actually within us all along.
And we can’t fake it. We can’t skip ahead and say, “Oh, I get it now. I don’t need any external validation,” if in reality we aren’t quite there yet. There’s no shortcut. The realization of this comes as a dawning of Light within the Self. It doesn’t happen just in the intellect, but in One’s entire Being.
So many people are frustrated with themselves because they have a sense of this potential in their Minds and yet they aren’t quite there yet with their full Being. The Heart and Mind are not yet in alignment.
That’s ok.
And the irony is that until that actually IS ok with you, it will trip you up because you think you’re doing something wrong. That you’re “not doing this right” and then that becomes your Reality.
Let go of your Fear and your resistance. Nothing locks a thing into existence faster than trying to push it away from yourself out of Fear.
The paradox is that you have to be OK with any and all outcomes before the one you truly do desire can come to you.
In Love,
TR ✨💞✨
