The Reality of Shadow Work: Beyond the Rainbows 🌈and Butterflies🦋 of a Spiritual Awakening
Speaking with one of my lovely Sovereign Circle ladies today has me in reflection of my understanding of Shadow Work...
Have you ever noticed how the universe seems to speak to you in the most unexpected moments? I recently found myself starting a session at exactly 3:33 PM.. a number that has haunted me since the beginning of my own internal journey—a clear signal from Spirit that there are no mistakes in the timing of our healing.
Shadow work is a journey I’ve been walking personally for seven years now. 😱 It isn't always a linear path; it’s slow, it spirals, and it can feel incredibly messy. But here is the magic of it: each time you encounter a trigger, you’ll notice your navigation has shifted. Your responses change, your needs evolve, and your coping mechanisms become stronger.
The triggers don’t just vanish, but they lose their potency and pass through you faster.
Unmasking the Soul.
True spiritual awakenings isn't all rainbows and butterflies and dancing under a full moon.. It’s painful, confusing, and raw. True psychological warfare!
It’s about entering that internal "room" where it’s finally safe to feel your emotions without performing for anyone. It’s the space where you can admit: "Everything isn't as I’d like it to be." Or "Life hasnt shown up for me the way i expected, despite my best efforts of being a good person" (Personally, I blame Disney for the unrealistic expectations! lol).
In this space, you begin to ask: Who am I as a soul without the conditioning?
Stripping away family dynamics
Deconstructing social structures
Giving a voice to your true, unmasked desires.. also forgiveness.. compassion of yourself and those who didn't know better for what has been done.
The Somatic Release
When we do this work, the body often reacts physically. Whether it’s a subtle shaking in meditation or a physical release, our bodies hold onto trauma until we give them permission to let go.
Sometimes our bodies try to lead us toward a path that feels unnerving or outside our comfort zone. These physical reactions are often the heart chakra opening and healing... Aligning.
The Gift of the Journey is that We heal so that we don’t sabotage the future we’ve manifested. We cannot walk into a life of celebration and contentment while still carrying the heavy weight of past trauma, fear and distrust.
Spiritual growth is about rising into your highest energy and healing the "love language" shaped by past experiences. It’s about preparing your vessel for what is to come. It’s messy work, but the result is experiencing life and love in Full HD.
It’s worth it. You are worthy of it.. and what a world we can create if we all faced our shadows✨
We aren't running from those feelings anymore. We intergrate them into living and existing with us. 🙏✨️
