NOTES 1. Projections- Pay attention to how you outwardly project yourself into the outside world. What you project onto others is a mirror of yourself. Whatever you dislike in others is somewhere inside yourself. 2. Emotional Triggers- Pay attention to what triggers you. Catch yourself before acting on the trigger and take a deep breath. 3. Patterns- Notice repeating patterns in your life. 4. Introspection- Ask yourself and journal these three questions: 1.What parts of yourself do you dislike? 2.What parts of yourself do you judge 3.What parts of yourself do you fear? 5. The goal of Shadow Work is integration- he more you shine a light on the shadow the smaller it gets. Tips 1. Don't Antagonize the shadow. It's about showing shadow love and acceptance and bringing it closer. 2. Observe it without judgment. Judgment is a form of nonacceptance. 3. Past life regression. 4. Childhood Review. Journaling Exercise- Three Questions- 1. Was I completely accepted by those around me as a child? 2. What was expected of me? 3. What behaviors and emotions were judged by my parents? 5. Retrieve your gifts. Since shadow also contains untapped gifts and talents. Discover those gifts that you had repressed. Journaling Exercise- 1 question- 1. If I weren't afraid, what would I do with my life? Another way is the shamanic journeying.

Az a 27 years old man, I've always been very emotional and i used to think that's a sign of weakness. I tried doing research on how i could be like a robot and heartless but it didn't work out. Oh my. After watching this video i looked myself in the mirror and i apologized to myself for not accepting part of myself and as soon as i put my hand on my heart, 2 drops of tear started falling down and i got goosebumps. I felt like i could understand myself for the first time and it hurt how aggressively i was treating myself.

I’ll be working on that too. I’m 21 and I always hated how emotional and sensetive I am, I’ve tried to be heartless so hard but it put me in more stress. Now I decided to embrace this part of myself, maybe being emotional is not that bad. I’m glad it worked for you (:

As a 26 year old women who has been in relationships with men who have rejected their shadow so deeply and learned to turn off their heart chakras and became incredibly robotic, there is nothing more attractive than a sensitive man who not only accepts his shadow but wears it proudly. Please don't reject this side of yourself. Your sensitivities are beautiful.

Please never disconnect from this part of yourself again 💗 It is healthy for a man to be connected to his emotions (and therefore empathy). Your connection to your emotions enables you to form healthier, safer emotional connections, relationships. I personally don’t find anything attractive about men who act like robots and are emotionally unavailable. Emotions are not a weakness; they’re your internal GPS and something that makes you real, raw, human. It is truly sad that so many of us are programmed to believe that feeling emotions is weak, shameful when in reality that is one of the most important things in forming healthy, safe emotional connections with others 💗

Posted 3 years ago and this vid continues to have great value. I’m the ‘sensitive little boy ‘ and I hated feeling so much emotion from those around me. People pleasing as a tactic to keep peace between warring parents. My mother had open heart surgery a few years ago but she didn’t bother to tell me about it afterwards she said I can’t handle those type of things I get to sensitive. Well, that sensitivity was a great warning bell one day when I walked into a mall restroom and something said get out now leave. I turned around and saw a man that I didn’t see when I walked in. I left immediately. Two months later that man was arrested at serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer. Whatever told me to get out of that bathroom and made the hairs on my body stand up, you can’t buy that on Amazon and you can’t get it with a perfect FICA credit score.

I'm 62 years old. I did inner-child work 30 years ago recovering from a brutal childhood. I found 3 inner children ages 6, 12, and 16. But I also found an inner- self who was 62, unbathed, indigent, sitting in a bar very very angry with everything and everyone - particularly angry with me. Through 32 years I've occasionally tried to figure out why she was there and what I was supposed to do to help her. So, I've done my best to ignore her. While listening to your video about shadow work, that angry old woman within me became very loud. Now, I know how to help her. And she will help me. Thank you, Christine.

I've been unhappy and anxious my whole life, even in early childhood, and the prospect that life is beautiful and soon I'll be able to understand all aspect of myself and not feel so blindsighted is overwhelming. Happiness feels so foreign to me that I feel weird expressing it, like I shouldn't be. But here I am. Things are really changing.

I kept asking questions and getting some of the most painful realizations I have ever had in my life. I won't get too personal but without this video I don't think I could have moved forward on this type of self-improvement and made such enormous progress in a small span of time.

Sublimation in the form of art is my favorite. Not only is it productive, it could also resonate with people (creating empathy and maybe another person feeling understood by you, which might feel like some sort of intimacy) or it could create beauty from what you might feel is ugly and make you realize that ugly can also be beautiful when seen through the right pair of eyes.

Hi Christina, I've just come across your videos tonight. Everything you said has resonated with me. I've had tons of counselling and CBT, nothing really worked. I've been feeling like I'm possessed for some time now, but listening to your video it makes sense, I've been feeding my shadow side forever, starting from childhood, I've always maintained my over critised, children should be seen n not heard shit, nothing I did was any good, my appearance, my friends etc etc. I'm fairly insecure/low self esteem, self loathing, but il never give up. I will follow your teachings and stop feeding my shadow. Love you xxx

I never really did shadow work properly but somehow I healed my shadow by intention. I asked universe “I dont know what it is but I want to heal it” 😂 I repeated this everytime I felt pain, then I received a lot of hint about my wound. One day, I suddenly realized that I couldn’t love human or myself because my mom judged me “you don’t love your mom, you can’t love noone.” That was when I broke free from the curse. I realized I am not what she said, and I dont have to behave and feel like what she said. I have ability to love, I am the love. She said I dont love her, but I always love her.

As a teen, I learned Transcendental Meditation... it was so deep that a tsunami of suppressed/repressed childhood memories flooded into my awareness. Cue up the shadow! It’s been a wild ride, this lifetime, but I have no regrets about that. Sure, bubbling up childhood shit isn’t pleasant, but it’s probably going to erupt sometime... why not approach it with meditating, however style feels right for you, with gentle openness? When we heal our crap, it ripples healing outward. Bonus. 💙🙏🏼

Wow! Yes! 😮 This is one of my biggest fears. To be all that I know I can be. Fear to be seen and have attention on myself. Fear that others may become jealous. Fear of being seen as a “Know it all”. Fear of judgement and rejection. I love this famous quote by Marianne Williamson, Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.”

* Grew up with an immigrant mom who put the fear of God into me if I failed any class and repeatedly said that I should only do what I love (special effects work) as ‘a hobby’ * Spent summers with cousins who ‘playfully’ made fun of me for how ‘white’ I behaved and how much I love Godzilla and Ultraman * Went through special ed from kindergarten to 12th grade - separate busing, separate classes, endured being talked down to by adults AND my own peers * Vividly remember times after school when I really just wanted to relax and be a kid, only to be driven to my dad’s office because my parents didn’t have a housekeeper to look after me All of these experiences drilled beliefs into my psyche like: “You’re worthless” “Don’t express yourself” “You’re an outcast who’ll never make friends” “Your desires/interests don’t matter” Each one severely kneecaped me from growing into my own person. It’s only recently, however, that I started to heal via a deep dive into subconscious mind work (Abraham Hicks, Neville Goddard, and now Shadow Work). Thanks for giving me some much needed clarity on what I have to do to liberate myself.

My shadow taught me "l am not good enough, not perfect!" To this day, despite the many talents I have and heightened spirituality as a Buddha follower and into daily meditation , introspection, the shadow of abandonment and insufficiency still knocks on my door. The thought of previous life times helps me to understand the intensity of my shadow, how the positive aspects of my current life are what's real, to be validated every morning and moment of the day. Thanks for the insights and tools to live with positive energy as long as I am on this planet.

But when they looked at me with their sweet eyes full of love, when I felt that in their presence my heart, too, became as innocent and just as theirs, the feeling of the fullness of life took my breath away, and I worshipped them in silence. Their children were the children of all, for they all made up one family. ,

I am doing a shadow work workbook and journal. I can't afford no past life regression. But I do work with tarot and include an oracle deck called " past life " I will add your three questions for sure though. There are so many workbooks and journaling out there. Do your research on the questions they have in the prompting journals. Read reviews beforehand. I would also say that chakra work is a must in spirituality anyways but definitely a tool during shadow work, meditation also. It helps bring that shadow " good" or " bad" closer to you without judgment and naturally allows you to settle into the energy by coming back to the present moment with meditation. chakra work breaks the past life and current life blockages and that helps bring healing process to a higher vibration. Like she says integrating the fragments. Thank you Christina what a wonderful gift you for so many of us. I appreciate your gifts, time and energy in the videos you provide us with. Namaste 🙏

Which I've googled afterwards but lately I've been going through a lot & when I got therapy back then It helped but not in this way here. When I was watching a 2 other videos on shadow work then I written information down then came here. I'm very opened minded & this intrigued me even more to learn about past life shadows that I never even thought of. Yes I've seen ghost in my child on tv of how it can affect them in this life etc but this goes even further. I loved how you really talked clearly about everything. Even when I've seen many videos popping up I thought I hope I can find them hoping you had them in the msgs & then you confirmed which I'm so happy bc then I can get to work. I will be telling my mom about this bc I know she needs to heal even more from her past trauma's. She's seen someone to help her before & she told this counseller how much I've helped her which I've seen her progess in her life. I cannnot be more proud of her than I do now! I will continue to help her along just like I'm going to help myself. Thanks again!! Much love

I literally suggest anyone to try it. It’s not easy it’s hard and it’s not pretty. I remember I felt I was fraud believing I was an empath and a pure soul for all my life before doing shadow work and seeing my dark traits within, but I soon realized in those dark traits I restored my confidence and my leadership skills. Being selfish and having narcisstic traits and superiority complexes and my giant fragile ego made me project a lot and protected my psyche so strongly that it convinced me I didn’t have these within myself so I envied them in others when I saw it but truthfully it’s bc I was denying it in my own self out of fear. . I now connect better to others because just like the goodness and the light I knew in me was still me too. And I see that for others too when I run into issues with someone in conflict. I realized alot of the traits influenced me to some degree in some of the bad choices I had made and it was easy to forgive myself and others once I understood the purpose of the shadow. That realization is what set me free. I am capable of being good and bad and I can have positive traits and negative traits. I can have lightness and I can have darkness and I can make good choices that help people or bad choices that hurt people and in that power of knowing this about me I still choose to be me and embrace me and to love me. I get to choose what I want and how I cultivate a life here with others and other people get to choose too. Free will is everything. My desire for control of situations and others was my desire to feel power of any kind since all I knew was what it felt like to feel powerless and I was willingly to do anyrginf not to feel that ever again. All of it is within. It’s been there all along. It’ll never go away.

24:37 "Repeating patterns" Your example: "losing yourself in relationships." I am resonating *so much* with that example. This has been a recurring theme in ALL of my romantic relationships. I would just.. "lose" my identity and myself. Now reflecting back on it, this has also been a semi-theme in friendships. But in romantic relationships I would lose myself all the time.

I was afraid of being my true self and setting boundaries because I was afraid if I did, my partner would leave me. I decided to show up for myself by being the type of lover I wished to have (eg. Hugging myself when I am sad, dedicating love songs to myself, being more open minded toward myself and others). These are just examples but YOU, and only you, know what you would like your ideal partner to be like. When you start showing up as your ideal partner and loving yourself, you will naturally start setting up better boundaries for yourself because you will not be afraid to lose people because you already have yourself. You will then attract and maintain friendships and relationships where people respect your boundaries and the relationships with those who don't respect your boundaries will naturally fade away. I hope this helps and good luck on your journey!

Thank you, I realize I was judging my shadow and trauma that was surfacing and my body's response to the shadow. My shadow would come in, and my body would respond with dissociation and I would get mad, frustrated that it was back again and believe I wasn't good enough, because I was still dissociated and couldn't heal... my dislike, judgement, and fear is all of my shadow itself, my darkness that I keep surrounded by light so no one can see it, not even me... Also same with past lives, as I was in my power in past lives I was rejected in horrible ways so this lifetime I protected myself, I put myself in a box this time, I fragmented myself so that no one could see the true me and no one would hurt me again. It is time to be whole, pull all of me back together in the present moment and step into my true power as the shaman I am.

Hello Christina, I have had ideas about my personality and my gifts, without really knowing how to access these things. You're a wonderful teacher, that gave me some real steps to follow in my journey, so I thank you so much for that! ❤

Christina, thank you so much. I am a 20 year old man who is very confident in his looks but has bodily insecurities, I’m 5’3 and have a skinny athletic build with a more naturally feminine frame, despite having a full beard and mustache lol. as of this moment in this lifetime, I am or was the little boy you spoke of and the moment you mentioned shutting down the heart chakra I genuinely felt my chest signal to me as if you spoke to me directly. My parents made me feel terrible in early childhood about my “sensitivities”, and the truth of it aside, I was labeled “gay” from a very young age before I was fully aware myself

The fact that we are here to integrate the shadow, and not being told it’s bad and it needs to go away completely is a huge weight off my shoulders.

Malin Wahlström me too! I know there is so much power in me, but I have somehow also lost a lot of it for many reasons, and a lot of it was never revealed...

Dear Christina, you hit a core nerve with me. You " saw" me when you said that you ( I) am afraid of coming into my power. I know this is absolutely the case with me!!! I had been a far more outstanding student than my peers. As a law student too my performance stood out. Its been 20 years and I am still afraid of speaking before the judge. I am very uncomfortable and people cant figure out what's the matter with me. Bcz when they interact wih me, even non- lawyers see my potential. Another sad thing is that so many men have been attracted to me but I have not yet been able to place anchor, so to speak.
