With Halloween being two weeks away and Scorpio on the horizon…I thought it was a great time to get into our collective darkness!
Or at least acknowledge it for a change!
Our shadow…the places within that we are scared to go…the strange twisted thoughts, desires, urges, and impulses that many of us are afraid to admit are real.
About a year ago I read a book titled…
“Existential Kink” by Carolyn Elliot
“Unmask Your Shadow. Embrace Your Power. A method for getting what you want by getting off on what you don’t.”
Since my friend and former Driftless resident, Laila Bernhardt, is a certified EK (Existential Kink) coach. Co-Hosts a new thriving podcast with the author of the book called “Sleep Over with Carolyn Elliott and Laila Bernhardt” and collaborates with her on multiple coaching ventures the newest being the “Sleep Over Mystery School”. I had to have her on to dissect this mind blowing teaching.
To me this is a ground breaking philosophy….it provides a HUGE missing piece to most new age-y law of attraction teachings….It gives you a place to put all the thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and mechanisms that we so often try to repress and act like they don’t even exist.
It answers the common question….If thoughts create reality then why am I not getting the things I want??
And moreover….why can’t I think the thoughts that I want!?
In turn, EK asks you….are you sure you don’t want that!??
Is it possible that your reality is perfect the way it is?
And that you are unconsciously ordering most of what you are getting?
Could it be that somewhere…deep down in your psyche…in the places you haven’t allowed yourself to see or acknowledge…that you could actually like....in some weird twisted way……and even thrive off of some of the weird disfunction, disorder, and chaos that may exist in your life?
That may sound absolutely insane to you….make your angry….and if you are like “Kyle! How dare you say that I like that!”….then please…. if you can……open your mind a little….tune into the show…and just give it a shot :)
If nothing has worked in the past then what do you have to lose??
This information has the power to completely shift and transform your life.
This is about accepting yourself….. ALL of it!…not just the parts you think are good or worthy.
This is about Loving ALL of who you are….and not rejecting the parts that you and society have deemed unloveable.
EK says you have come to this planet to experience it ALL! Not just what is warm, fuzzy, and socially acceptable.
And you can learn to love, appreciate…and dare I say even get off on challenging, difficult experiences…. just like you can with “good” ones…
This is not an excuse to do “bad” things and live without any code of morality…
Rather….this is a way to forgive, accept, and even love whatever bad experiences you may have had or are going through…
And then alchemize them….transform them…and be a much more powerful conscious creator of your reality!
Thats enough from me I’ll let Laila explain the rest! :)
Listen in for a life changing immersion into the forbidden spaces of your psyche
What can you uncover there??
EK says anything you want!
