How To Do Shadow Work [The Easy Way]

Shadow work is part of the journey of integration that leads to wholeness and oneness. This how to do shadow work post will give you a framework so you have a process that makes it easy to implement.

Our shadows contain everything that is considered ugly, bad, shameful, weird, taboo or socially unacceptable. Our shadows contain the parts of us that have been shunned, denied, rejected or otherwise negatively condemned by our parents, family members, and different pockets of society growing up. 

How the Shadow grows

Repressing, denying, conforming, changing, cutting off and burying certain parts of ourselves was a necessary part of our survival.

Because unconsciously we were taught as children that in order to be loved and accepted we had to hide away those parts of ourselves that were not met with praise and approval, and adopt only those traits and behaviours that were met with open arms.

What happens when don’t do the shadow work

The downside to repressing parts of ourselves is that this part of ourself begins to fester and amplify, sabotaging our lives. 

Want to know how to do shadow work in an easy way? Shadow Work is my favourite subject, that’s why I’m passionate about making it easy and accessible to everyone, it’s part of a personal development plan that gets to the root of the issue.

If your manifestations are not showing up, more than likely your shadow self is causing you to take action that is of alignment with the law of attraction.

  • The ‘coolest’ reason why shadow work benefits you
