“When we are aware of our weaknesses or negative tendencies, we open the opportunity to work on them.”
~~
We have been conditioned to fear the shadow side of life and of ourselves. It\’s important to turn and face it; thus transforming it into a powerful aspect of spiritual awakening.
As multifaceted beings, we hold every possibility within us. What we deny within ourselves quietly runs various aspects of our lives, often sabotaging efforts regarding work, abundance, relationships and self-love.
What you react strongly to in another is a reflection of something you do not wish to see or own in yourself. Pay attention – this is the beauty of understanding how we help one another on the journey. It is within these unexamined, darker aspects that our true power lies.
The way to transform our shadows is to shine the light of awareness upon them. From a space of love, choose to stop projecting it onto others (notice words of complaint or blame), release attachment and self-judgement and be gentle with yourself. Healing comes through wholeness and acceptance. We don\’t conquer the shadow, we transcend it by approaching life from a higher level of consciousness.
