Shadow Work & Spiritual Illumination
Becoming Aware of Our Darkness
Please don't be alarmed! I know the term "shadow" brings up all kinds of negative & dark associations. Because of this, it's easy to assume that shadow work is a dark spiritual practice that involves sinister rituals. This could not be further from the truth. The shadow is a psychological term for everything that we cannot see in ourselves. Understanding how the shadow works will help you realize how someone can show gifts in an area of their life while remaining unaware of poor behavior in other areas. Everyone is susceptible to this. It is easier to observe another’s shadow before acknowledging your own. All we deny in ourselves—whatever we perceive as inferior, evil, or unacceptable—become part of the shadow. Anything incompatible with our chosen conscious attitude is relegated to this dark side. The personal shadow is the disowned self, which includes some of our inherent positive qualities.
​
The more you become aware of your shadow self, the more agency you have over yourself & your life. Working to illuminate your shadow is a challenging, yet rewarding process. This can lead to greater authenticity, creativity, enhanced energy & physical health, & improved relationships. This introspective process is essential for reaching emotional & spiritual maturity. Unless you do conscious work to bring it to Light, the shadow is almost always projected & neatly laid on someone/something else so you do not need to take responsibility for it. We all must take responsibility for these aspects of ourselves, so we are able to repent, let these things go & move forward in the Light, Life, & Love of God.
