Heal Your Shadow

I have been on my spiritual journey since 2019.

Since that time I have heard the warning, “You will have to face your shadow self.” Sounds like a scary “Insidious” situation. Needless to say, I have been preparing for two years to face my “dark side”. (Insert menacing laugh)

My Shadow Self

One night as I drifted off to sleep, I was in a different place. I looked around to see if I could recognize anything familiar. I knew I was outside staring at an outside wall of a building. I noticed a huge shadow on the wall.

Suddenly, the shadow began to break free from the building and started making its way towards me. I noticed how it had my shape and height. This is what I had prepared for! I was facing my shadow self.

The Face-Off

I am not going to lie — I was very uncomfortable.

My shadow literally slithered up to me. It had the resemblance of tar dripping off of an object! By this time, I had faced my demons but I was having trouble dealing with the fear that was growing within me.

My shadow finally reaches me and we are literally facing each other. I could feel the fear welling up within me. I start thinking “Am I innately evil? What’s going to happen to me? Will my shadow attack me?” I took a deep breath and said, “What can I do for you?” What happens next is shocking.

My Shadow is Fear

My shadow proceeds to tell me how I should not have a YouTube channel.

It expressed how I was a loner and how much I loved the privacy. It emphasized how I was putting my family in danger by having a public platform.

The words started to infect my thoughts like a parasite. I began agreeing with my shadow! “You’re right! I am a hermit. I do enjoy my privacy. I shouldn’t have a Youtube Channel. I need to delete it!”

My Higher Self stepped in and smacked me back into reality.

I came to the realization that my shadow was not evil or scary. My shadow was an aspect of me that took on the abuse and pain from childhood until the present moment. My shadow was traumatized!

I Embrace and Love My Shadow Self

I thanked my shadow for her protection and concern.

I reassured her we were on the right path. I embraced her with love and support. I healed my shadow. I AM MY SHADOW!

Our shadow is not something apart from ourselves.

We are our shadow and the sooner we stop projecting, blaming, looking for scapegoats, and being victims about our shortcomings, the quicker we can ascend to our true purpose! Heal your shadow to the point where it protects you and not deters you! Remember, you are magick!
