Emporiblog - Shadow Work
Today's post has been made by assembling Kerenza's notes and knowledge together.
What is Shadow Work?
Shadow Work is something that helps you to better understand yourself so you can become the best version of yourself.
Do I have to do Shadow Work?
No. It isn't a requirement as not everyone will be ready to do it.
How do I do Shadow Work?
Shadow Work is very personal so it's different for each person but, you will definitely need time.
How does it work?
Once you've gotten the hang of it, you'll find that Shadow Work is about unbecoming what society and your environment made you.
Allow me to elaborate....
Without realising it, you'll probably find that you act a certain way around certain people or re-act to things differently depending on who you're with or where you are. This is because society and those around you influence how you respond to things which leads to you having different "selfs" in different environments and with different people. Shadow Work will help you find your Shadow Self or True Self.
A few examples of Shadow Work questions....
What are you scared of and why?
Why do you feel this way and why have these emotions presented themselves?
Why have I associated these emotions with certain events?
As I mentioned at the start, due to its personal nature, not everyone will be ready for Shadow Work. It's dark, deep and scary and will take you to places in your mind that you deliberately don't go to. If you've suffered any form of trauma or unpleasant experience/s, Shadow Work can be very upsetting and triggering.
How do I know if I'm ready for Shadow Work?
Maybe not necessarily ready but, you can start Shadow Work at any time. If it's getting too much, then stop. It's up to you if you want to carry on at some point or stop completely. Others will find it easier to continue with straight away and some may need frequent breaks.
If you haven't started and/or are putting it off but are seeing signs or keep thinking about it, it might be time for you to give it a go.
Be warned. Shadow Work is not a quick fix and won't magically solve your problems but, it can help you to understand them and work towards resolving them. Doing so will not only allow you to start becoming your true self but, it could help you move forward with your life.
You need to take your time with Shadow Work and watch your energy. It can be very draining! And don't be surprised if people start to act differently as you start to discover your true self.
I think that just about covers things!! If you're ready, good luck on your Shadow journey!
Blessings,
