Ive been doing Shadow Work since I was 16 (15yrs... jeez I feel old 😂) and Shadow Work helped me with my PTSD years ago. I no longer have PTSD, depression or anxiety (or any of the symptoms that go along with these illnesses) because of it, and I still do it just so I can keep on top of my own mind, keep in touch with my self. Method: back then I would vent my emotions into a journal til the emotion was all out, then come back when Ive calmed down and write out my objective observations on what caused the emotion and how it came about and where it started in my life. Now its a LOT less emotionally charged, but I still find writing from that emotional stand point, and then moving on to objectively picking apart the root of the issue in the one sitting is possible... but tbh I think thats only because of years of practice. Meditation is great, perhaps after the emotional vent, because IMHO its important to honour the feelings you have because no matter how bad they feel or if you're ashamed of them, they are valid and its healthier to express the emotion than to repress - and what healthier way to express emotions you might be embarrassed or ashamed of than quietly into your book where you can eventually come back to years from now and see how far you've come. Some things I found to be important observations while doing Shadow Work over the years that Id like to impart is: (as above) your emotions are valid, dont repress them, honour them. They may have come about from faulty mental programming, but they are yours and are just as important as your happinesses and joys. Make sure to remember that the objective isnt to fight and conquer your demons, but to sit them down for a cup of tea, get to know them and make friends with them. Be patient with yourself - we are always hardest on ourselves, so remember that altering deeply ingrained beliefs and habits will take a lot of work and you ARE going to make mistakes along the way. Be gentle with yourself, forgive yourself for being imperfectly perfectly human and be proud of yourself for being willing and ready to grow - a lot of people refuse to continue growing and stagnate... but not you - you brave self mastering magickal being! You change your mind and you change your world. And finally, remember that you arent alone in having a Shadow Self. We all have them, we all hide something of ourselves, and so while you may walk alone, dont get caught up in the belief that you're alone. May your journey be as fulfilling as mine has been. Xx

When I was younger and in therapy one of the things I learned was to write letters to people when I was angry or sad or discontent or whatever and then burn them, as I've gotten older I still use this trick but I re-read my letters and try to evaluate why I needed to write it in the first place before burning and sending it all away, it has helped tremendously with my shadow work to see the things that trigger you in anger and understand the reasoning behind it. I write the letter and stash it in my desk and come back to it in a day or two when I've calmed down and when I read it again I'm often embarrassed with how I reacted but it puts things in perspective and helps me to let go of that feeling. I hope maybe that will help somebody out there trying to face themselves. Thank you again for the video Olivia, you are great!

I recently discovered one of my root shadows, I guess. I got upset because of some stereotype that was associated with my zodiac sign (virgo). I started out ranting about it, and it slowly transitioned into my personal insecurity and not knowing who I am. It then turned into me talking about feeling like I could never satisfy anyone due to bullying I got and feeling like I was never enough. It then turned into abandonment issues started by my biological mom threatening to leave me and never being there for me as a child. That's what caused me to try and please everyone around me, so they wouldn't leave. Now, I'm trying to make myself happy, and realise that I dont need others to have self worth. Shadow work is very helpful.

For real. I don't have very thick skin but my first shadow work prompt was about a teacher patronizing me, and I felt kinda stupid for being so offended by it but then I ended up with a 5 - 8 page vent. It was about the teachers comment for about a paragraph then it immediately turned into a vent about my traumatic childhood and bullying. You uncover so much about yourself, it's so weird seeing how deeply rooted these things are with your own two eyes.

Just wanted to put this out there: I had alexithymia (inner blindness) and so even the first step of seeing we have a reaction to something can, for some people, be nearly impossible if you don't know what you're feeling or thinking. Then, my next hurdle was dealing with the really strong traumatic feelings that would come up if I so much looked at my feelings or behaviour, and understanding those feelings weren't here right now, they were memories. Another important part is learning to see that thoughts and feelings aren't necessarily literal. To me, anything I thought or felt seemed like fact, like how reality was, rather than happening as a consequence to lifestyle factors (not sleeping well, drinking too much coffee, etc.), from having a narrow window of tolerance (being more easily stressed than others and taking longer to calm down), from my expectations or beliefs, or from straight-up re-experiencing. I thought I would bring this up because some people have work to do before they can even begin the shadow work process. And that's okay. Everyone is different cognitively but you CAN get better. I had no hope of ever being a normal person after my prolonged trauma and I was treated as such by professionals. I'm happy to say I've made a miraculous recovery, but it came from focussing elsewhere first--on the basics I never learned in my childhood.
@MsHazza734 жыл бұрын
@PearlofWisdom ...I believe you are spot on. I’m so sorry for your childhood trauma. I hope now you are walking the earth a much happier person and that the process of dealing with your traumatic memories step by step have allowed you to live feeling cleansed and happy now. I have followed my path for over 30 years and in that time I have never attempted shadow work. Exactly like you stated, I had work to do before getting to the point where I would be ABLE to do it. It might be the “trendy thing” to do for many people right now but I would never have been emotionally ready in my 20’s or even my 30’s. Only now in my 40’s with the life experience that I have do I feel ready to tackle the negative shadow side. I really appreciated your take on it, thank you. Many Blessings.

This reminds me of cognitive behavioural therapy which I’ve been doing for years. Pausing, identifying trigger, identifying belief (why it triggered you), reasons for and against the belief, and then disputing the belief. I guess the difference is that you don’t try to accept the belief or the behaviour, you try to change to it. Well, you need to recognise and accept that you are a certain way (in my case a catastrophic thinker), and once you’ve accepted that that’s how your brain functions, then you can begin changing the patterns. It’s something I practice everyday and it has helped me become a better and more stable person, but it’s something that’s always there and I need to constantly be aware of it so that I don’t fall back into past patterns. Anywho, I really enjoyed this video and your explanation of everything.⭐️

I think I've been doing shadow work for 20 years without realizing it. I was just questioning myself on why it's taken me so long to finally do more than just research my practice. Then I answered my own question immediately - younger me wasn't ready or willing to do the practice I've always wanted and my subconscious was like, "hell no get that immature, emotionally uncontrolled child away". Turns out 34 is the age that I can finally be an intuitive green witch that wants to give, not take, and doesn't want to universe to fight her battles for her. Being here now, I see exactly why younger me couldn't do that.

Kaptain Jomtai What I found interesting is the golden shadow work. For those of us who grew up in toxic environments and were taught to hate and put ourselves down as children, the 'shadow' self is actually positive qualities that we have learned to shrink away from. When I realised this and did some research into it, the results were fascinating. She talked a lot about looking for what we hate in others, but a different shadow aspect is recognizing what we instantly admire in others. It might be something in our own golden shadow that we are denying.

@TheKitteth4 жыл бұрын
I was researching witchcraft at 12 in my Catholic school library and 2 years later found out my mother had been wiccan for years and had hidden it from us, and only told me when she discovered that Id been researching it. So Im not 100% coming from the same page, but I am familiar with the kind of imposter syndrome/ low self esteem dilemma you are facing. If it helps, think about it like this: witches are merely humans who have recognised their favourite way to talk to the creative force. They beg for mercy, praise in joy and rage in vengance no different from any person of any other faith. Yes we recognise, revel, nurture and use the divinity within ourselves and all things around us in ways that have been lost to antiquity among other religions, but we are no stronger than others... So knowing this, perhaps start with something that greets in the middle between where you feel you are and the powerful strong vision you have of what it means to be a witch. Find a word that stretches you just enough that living up to it isnt overwhelming or outside of your scope. Things like spiritualist, pagan, wiccan, freethinker, etc... even if its not quite what you feel like or an accurate descriptor, it can act as a stepping stone... and should anyone ask, just say you learned more about who you are as a witch and understood that it fit you better. If I may be a bit bold and make a suggestion, (which you are welcome to ignore) with a little cinnamon on a candle to empower you, I would take a long ass bath and meditate on what strength means to you, and what it looks like in your relationships with yourself and others, what it feels like to wear when you walk, talk, dance, eat, work, rest, play... in moments of weakness and when times are easy. Then think about how to start weaving it within yourself when you've settled on the general feeling. Theres plenty of spells and charms that you can use to help you build your inner strength, or guide you as well. Finally, and most importantly... Who told you that you arent a fantasy? Who made you believe that to the right people, you arent a daydream come to life? Just know that while not everyones favourite colour is Astrid Rae, to some, they dream of days drenched in Astrid Rae, and that there are others who couldnt even stretch their imagination far enough to believe that a mythical creature like Astrid Rae could possibly exist in reality.

@@sandrarhein3815 theres a whole slew of other terms you might like to try on that are safer. Conjurer, mystic, occultist, sorceress, enchantress are good, though equally as strong a word as witch... theres softer ones like pagan, freethinker, spiritualist, wiccan, herbalist, someone into natural remedies and candles, researcher of tribal traditions, among others that may be easier... or perhaps you might just set up an altar in plain sight, wear an Ankh, tuck some black tourmaline in your bra with a prayer and not say a thing. But if you're concerned for more than a little put down or hurt feelings. If you think you might be bullued or worse, stay in the broom closet.

@@moon230686 Im not sure what religion your parents are from, and Im just assuming that its christian here, but this could work with the other major religions too... theres nothing stopping you from being both witch and christian. In fact, there are so many cross overs, you creating an homage to the creator in your space with a cross and other symbols of peace and lighting a candle is perfectly acceptable in both practices. You may use a priests holy water as you use moon water. You may use a cross as you use a pentagram. You may use a rosary and psalms as spells... the only difference is that witches are actively communicating with the creative force while Christians have been taught that there needs to b a middle man between them and god.

As soon as I heard you start talking about Carl Jung's shadow theory and everything about shadow work, I came to a realization. I went to rehab back in may and have been there until november 7th. There we did things called "unburdenings", which are things and behaviours we want to change that are not the best. Examples included are: judging someone, arguing, negative self talk, and little things like not getting out of bed on time, taking too much food, hoarding food, being "loose" (immature). To work through this we did things called "resolutions" where we find things in our past that may have been the catalyst for this behaviour, and it always stems from a fear. every. single. time. it was a fear. Where did that fear come from? something that happened in our past. we were forced to work through our traumas and seeing this video, I came to the realization that I have essentially been doing shadow work nearly every day for 6 months. I never thought i could connect my rehabilitation program to my spiritual journey, but looking back it makes SO MUCH SENSE! i could go on forever. whoever took the time to read this, thank you. I really needed to get that out.

*watching the video* it's kinda funny that the first time I remember starting shadow work was at my 12 yo with my best friend (best friend still ❤️) because we used to be so proud and full of ourselves that, when we fought, we used to be very angry to each other, until one of us give up and apologize. So we made this deal that every time we fight we would sit and say "well, you made this thing that makes me angry" and then we would work together to change stuff that would make us unhappy with each other and grow together as humans. I'm very grateful that I have had this opportunity to learn how to grow in such a early age ❤️ And today we still working together, even though we live far, we're always helping each other how to figure things out and I'm so grateful for her 😭 ahahaha Anyways, thank you for this video! It's really important to remember to pause and think before we rush into things ❤️ I love you and your content!

Something I have found is that as a person, you really ebb & flow through the understanding & accepting portion. One day you may feel you have fully accepted the shadow but then the next week you’ll be triggered again, or like you said, you’ll find another shadow.

I've done shadow work for decades. You can easily lose yourself in it. Remember to grow the good qualities of yourself and not just focus on what needs fixed in you because that's a never ending process if you're honest with yourself, and you'll only see what's wrong when there's always the other side of the yin yang and there's so much of you that's right and kind

I have been doing my own shadow work over the past 1.5 years and it is amazing how freeing it is. I feel like on some topics, I have come a long way. On other triggers, I still have a very long way to go. In many ways, it has helped my confidence with who I am (my authentic self) and being willing to share who I am.

I enjoyed this concept behind this video very much, thanks for sharing. I was researching Mirror Books, and got in a wee rabbit hole re: Shadow Work. By reading my historical journal entries I had a revelation recently, whereby I appease other people's explosive anger, by being jocular or clownish and light-hearted. Not only does that potentially irritate people by coming across as dismissive, but also doesn't point North in my own Moral Compass, because I'm not owning my OWN anger in response to being treated in a certain way. Much to work on, in the future 🔮.

my whole spiritual and magical path have been shadow work. Today im an enneagram practitioner and a neurolinguistic programing master practitioner and those are my favorite """tools""" to explore my ego, learn compassion and forgiveness, embrace my pain, heal and rescue my inner hurt child. Specially the enneagram, to understand my motivations, my patterns, my vitues and my vices, and the NLP to revisit my past traumas and ressignify them. The path is not easy, its painful, its scary, but its absolutelly wonderful, its makes you face yourself and grow so much.
