The Shadow Speaks

Healing your pain will always be presented as a choice. But make no mistake, it is a choice with great consequences. The  consequences of not healing your pain is to identify with it and eventually become it. The transition to becoming an expression of your pain is subtle and the longer you wait, the harder it will be to see.

The consequence and benefit of healing your pain will be the opening of new doors and possibilities that you would not have thought imaginable. I offer an example from my book; Shadow Work, The Guided Journal for Meeting the Stranger Within to help you extract a profound wound that is imbedded in almost all of us, and often goes unnoticed... the wound of betrayal.

Thank you for showing up. Many blessings.

Over the course of my healing journey, I frequently heard phrases like soul loss and lost aspects and soul retrieval. Although I understood the concept and even had soul retrieval sessions with highly skilled shamans, I didn't really comprehend the depth of healing involved until I had my own direct experience with the entire process. Your healing requires participation, not just receiving.

This episode breaks down these concepts into their simplest form, but can provide a roadmap to profound levels of self inquiry and help to activate the healer within. We all have a healer within us. It is where we get our gut feelings about what should or should not eat, which relationships will be healthy and which ones toxic as well a guiding force that helps us to navigate our lives.

This is Part I of a Three-Part Series. Part II - Calling Back the Soul and Part III - Soul Retrieval, will be the next two episodes of The Shadow Speaks.

The most powerful shadow healing comes from love. It is rejection and denial that cast parts of you into the shadow in the first place. Acceptance and love will bring them home. Learn to see yourself so that you may love yourself, your whole self. Let go of the facade of who you think you are supposed to be. This episode provides a great formula to help you sit with what your shadow reveals to you and invite your shadow to respond to love.

When our soul calls us to face our shadow, it is usually to answer the longing of the soul to live in truth. We may want to move through our spiritual awakening quickly so that we may access the treasures that lay beneath the shadow. I took antidepressants for 17 years and then... they just stopped helping.  At first, I thought my suffering from medication changes, withdrawal and worry and that the flood of emotions that ensued was a hinderance to my spiritual journey, only to realize after many years of healing and learning that it was the catalyst for opening me up to the deeper healing my soul needed.

Your soul will meet you where you are and if you're are on antidepressants or addicted to drugs, your soul will meet you in that space and guide you on your path to healing.

*And although my journey led me to come off of antidepressants, that may not be the path that your soul is guiding you on.

Our luminous light body is an energy field that illuminates our energy when we are in alignment and uplifted, holding a high vibration. When we compromise ourselves or our beliefs by ignoring our internal guidance system, which is our emotions,  our energy field leaks and we lose power. We can consciously lose power or unconsciously lose power. Either way, it is time to call your power back from all times and places and honor your gut feelings by listening to what they are telling you. Learn how to recognize where you have lost your power... and call your power back.

So many people have complicated lives with countless experiences that seem to just create more confusion... and no answers. Wouldn't you like to get answers from a source that knows you best and always has your best interest at heart? Well, that source is very close at hand. As a matter of fact, that source of wisdom is within you and idly stands by waiting for your attention and for you to just ask. As easy as that sounds, it may be difficult to start the conversation with your inner self because it is like a relationship that has been ignored and it is a voice you cannot seem to hear. So here are a few techniques that I have utilized myself with great success to help you break ground in starting the dialogue with your inner self so that you may hear your inner voice speak great wisdom from the depths of your Soul.

This is part 2 of a 3-part series. You will get the most benefit by listening to them in order. This episode is a depiction of the strangest experience that I had in recovering a lost aspect. Although I don't believe it is a common occurrence, I use this example to highlight some of the nuances in the communication with an aspect of myself and the process of integrating that part of me back into my Self. My hope is to illustrate that it is a divine process with many intricacies and can take time. When you have a better grasp of all that is involved, you will be inspired to be patient and allow your soul to guide and work on its timetable.

Once you have identified a part of yourself that seems to have fallen away, determined by deep introspection, and you have prepared the space for the aspect to return and send out the call for that part to return, then you are ready to welcome that aspect back into the whole.

This is Part II of a three-part series. In the last episode, you may have been able to recognize a part of yourself that seems to have faded away. This episode illustrates how I called identified parts of myself back home.

We are all aware that we have different parts of ourselves operating; the career part, the family part, the personal part and the part that dreams of our perfect world. But many are unaware of how these parts operate together and create harmony when they are in balance and inadvertently allow parts to fall away.

Soul loss is commonly referred to in spiritual teachings, but feels out of reach for most to embark on self exploration. Yet it may be simply a matter of welcoming all parts of yourself by identifying and calling back all parts that have fallen away. Much like the musician that doesn't play anymore and is a little rusty, calls back his talent (that aspect of himself) by sitting down to play again.

We all experience pain and may push it aside or pretend it doesn't exist in order to cope. But pain will operate in your shadow until you see it... so that you may heal it. Recognize when your pain speaks to you and answer with compassion so that you can transmute it. Transmuting pain is about integrating wisdom. You do not have to like your painful experiences, but you can find a gem beneath your pain if you can extract what you have learned and apply it to your life. So many people will benefit from your wisdom. Learn how to turn your pain into power and choose to be empowered by your life experiences. It really is your choice.

The power to dream our life into reality Is amazing! But what happens to dreams when they expire, do not become realized or are forgotten? They live on in our shadow, peaking out into our lives, looking for an outlet.

You will be amazed at how much energy is being wasted not keeping house with dreams that linger in our shadow. So gather the fragments of your outdated dream and listen to the end to receive a great healing exercise to honor your dreams, put old dreams to rest, remove residue of lost dreams, and clear the slate to dream your new dream.  Lighten your load to make room for dreams that are made from the best of who you have become.
