SHADOW WORK - EXPLAINING THE SHADOW SELF AND HOW IT EFFECTS US

Shadow work and explaining the shadow self and how it effects us, truly resides on very keen information. Shadow work dates back to even Greek times, where they believed in multiple beings as to keep in tune with themselves spiritually. On todays video, you will hear about certain aspects of Shadow work, how to start shadow work, what is shadow work, and even aswering the question, what is the shadow itself?
This video goes on a little longer than usual, but is packed with really good information regarding shadow work from its roots and to its core. Remember that shadow work is never done, it is always going to be with you. Accept that and good things will come!
Down below will be an area I talk about in the video. This is where I was reading off of, as I enjoyed his way of explaining the Shadow and its inner workings as well.

    Well I have a Roman catholic background and I get this sometimes. It isn't always easy to bear, as a lot of people think what we do to be evil, but as long as you are doing things for you, and not personal harm, or harmful acts toward others, witchcraft can be very beautiful. As we all practice it. Lighting a candle in the church (witchcraft), eating the body of christ (ritual), lighting incense in church (witchcraft), praying (ritual), there's a lot of things we can pin point that are witchcraft in the church. It's a matter of the fact that they call it something different and get to stubborn to see facts in front of them!

    I don't know if it counts as shadow work, but a few years ago, I forgave my self for some indiscretions I had when I was a teenager and young adult, craving attention. Ever since then I've been happier, more settled and content with my self. Seldomly, if ever, I get upset about what other ppl are doing, let them do what they want, as long as they don't try to pressure me to think like them. Off cause there's things I wish I knew how to do better, like getting up when my alarm goes of and housework, and sometimes, when those things go wrong, i become mad at myself, mostly because I'm old enough that I should know better by now...

    So that would, and I'm not meaning this rudely at all. But that would fall under the category of lazy. But in the vidro as I've explained, being lazy is fine. We all have some kind of laziness within us. First things first you did do shadow work by making the effort in the first thing you mentioned, and congrats! You're feeling the right emotions when you successfully integrate with your shadow. But you've integrated with just a fragment. Your shadow, as explained in the video, is like an onion. You peel back the layers, work on them one at a time, and watch as you become more in-tune with your own self. Meaning those situations where you "seldomly" get upset, you don't want to be upset, period. That is the goal. Even if someone were to come up to you and put pressure on something you don't like, someone who's done shadow work will simply respond with "I personally don't want to really be involved, just for my comfort as a person, please respect that." ANY OTHER reaction after that on the other person's behalf, is on them. And pay attention too. Because those experiences teach us a lot. If they start freaking out, but you walk away. You can look back on that situation later and ask yourself how you felt, then you gotta ask why you felt that way, but ask your unconscious self, not your conscious self. Your conscious self will want to tell you that you acted because you're annoyed. And that may be true, but you'll then point the finger at the individual rather than the real problem. Looking at the subconscious you'll see that you were annoyed, but since you are feeling it, that means that is part of you as well. Being annoyed, it's a part of you, and since we've been brought up to be polite, accepting in society, being annoyed and taking it out on people, typically was looked at as an uncommon in society. So say that you integrate with that. You say to the subconscious "I am annoyed" "I get annoyed" "Im annoyed" and your subconscious coming to that understanding, will then bring it to your conscious self. And then you accept and integrate with the fact that you can get annoyed sometimes, and that's okay. Now that you've integrated with that "annoyed" part of you, you may realize one day, a person is really annoying you. But instead of taking a turn and walking away, or getting mad, you simply say "I personally just don't agree, so maybe we should just agree to disagree." or maybe it was just someone talking to much and you respond with, "excuse me, but I have a really bad headache, can you just give me some time before we move forward." Things like this, when getting connected to your shadow, give you time to think, process, and act. Now talking about your alarm, if you've watched the video, it seems like you may have some laziness in your shadow. It is something you have to come to terms with, accept it, and integrate, like everything else. And it's okay to sleep through the alarm and get some extra sleep from time to time. You have to come to terms with that, what's not okay, is doing it all the time. Because if you're doing it all the time, that means the laziness in your subconscious, is really projecting through your conscious self. And that means you need to work on that situation. Remember, being lazy is okay. We all have lazy days, mental health days, self care days, what have you. These are all days where work doesn't get done, and the only thing you work on is relaxing and getting you back to health. Being lazy is okay. But in equalibrium, remember that. You're body is probably shot. Idk when the last time is you had a self care day, or just a day you didn't stress, but if you have a lot on your plate right now, I think your subconscious may be telling you to take a break. You have to learn when to take it easy at certain points. The lazy aspect in the subconscious will grow the more you ignore it. So really look deep, ask yourself why you keep doing that, it's not because you're just lazy, there is a reason to that. Overworked, stress, anxiety, whatever it is. But just like an onion as I said, tackle it one thing at a time until it all unravels to its core! I hope this helps! Blessed be and thank you for taking the time to comment! 😊

    Thank you for answering. I am lazy, and I know it. I also know where it comes from, but I don't know how to stop being lazy, yet. Living in another part of the world, Denmark to be precise, having a mental illness, i can't work too much, our system is a safety net, so I can still live while working very few hours. I can't get stressed, as this will get my brain all out of whack, and, worst case scenario, I'll get unaliving thoughts. So, getting back to it. I'm not gonna believe myself too good not to get all sorts of feelings when I interact with other ppl, but I've not gotten angry, sad, jealous or any number of other feeling talking to strangers for a long time, the only person who can really push my buttons is my husband. I've worked really hard not to compare myself and my life to other ppl. I saw your answer about mid day and my thoughts have been spinning around and around. For the longest time, I've been like "I don't have trauma, why would I have that..." But then, about 4 pm I suddenly had something come up, and I now know why I sought male acceptance, and why I need everybody to like me, so, thanks for that... (not in any bad way...) I now know where to begin the next part of my journey. Thank you and blessed be.

That man is an alchemical genuis and has many useful insights for the magician, occultist, anyone really. It gets quite extensive, and was very well put in this video, great intro

    Like if you haven't worked with these ideas in some form, you very much need to if you want to do anything legitimately. Carl jung really just took a lot of different occult spiritual ideas and made them accessible to the average scientifically minded person. He regretted entering the scientific field and often expressed this, and towards the end of his life he wrote some profound stuff. He covers just about every topic in occultism that exists.

    Even Greek deities can teach you well on shadow work, as Greeks believed in multiple gods and goddesses, as mentioned in this video, so that they got in the habit of loving every part of themselves. As each deity represented a part of the human psyche in order to keep the Greeks focused on every part of themselves spiritually. Because not focusing on one deity, meant you were ignoring a part of your psyche spiritually. Which made way for incredible spiritual growth through the Greek culture. Hecate being a Greek deity, also plays a huge role in shadow work! But yes, Egyptian style practices are very good for shadow work as well! Even Roman catholics whom don't practice witchcraft religiously, pray to God in order to forgive sins they have realized about themselves. And that realization is shadow work, asking for forgiveness is their way of understanding and accepting the parts of themselves they deemed as harmful to the psyche!

    Sometimes, when we have things happen in our conscious reality, it mimics in our subconscious as something else. You may have broken your nail in your sleep, but your subconscious being awake, may have projected that nail breaking in your dream as something else. For example, say you're sleeping, and your significant other or roommate what have you, pokes you. You don't wake up. But when you do wake up, you tell them about how you had this wild dream about someone poking you hard with a stick, and it felt so real. That was your conscious Self, asleep, projecting what has happened in reality, into your subconscious, which is awake, while you're sleeping, as your brain is very much active when you're still sleeping. I have had this scenario from a few clients in the past when I used to do more personal work for people. Keep in mind though, breaking a nail still has a spiritual meaning. Which usually means you're overdoing or focusing too much on a specific area in your life, and need to find a way of balance and equalibrium!
