Shadowlands
Shadow self is a natural part of ourselves. It is held and formed throughout the auric field, entwined with the thoughts, feelings and physical body. Formulated through relationships with self and others, through internal conflict and dialogue, traumas experienced from past or present lives. From illness, loss, excess anger, shock, longings, prolonged hurt, many experiences in life can add to the shadow self as can deep unrecognized feelings .
It formulates throughout the energy bodies grid work structure and can also be accumulated karmic or ancestral debris which is held to be cleared, recognised or healed. Everyone will have a shadow aspect to themselves, which can be percieved in many ways, some sensed intuitively, some visual and some heard. Awareness is key to recognising the parts of ourselves which may be rising into consciousness at various times throughout life. Old patterns may surface, long forgotten memories. Hidden beneath the layers of density, often as clumps of energy which may be tangled, dense, or gooey and thick or sometimes just a light grey like smoke, particularly if being processed.
Shadow self is nothing to be scared of or concerned about, everyone has one, it is nothing more than energy, which is darker than your normal energy colour patterns as it is denser in frequency. When being activated to release some density, it is like a mirror which can reflect back to you any darkness and shadow. It is purely something we have that offers an excellent opportunity at various and appropriate times in life a way to engage back to self to assist in raising energy vibration. To be observant of what could be considered as triggering a more intense response perhaps than normal, what in thoughts, feelings or bodily reactions may be arising to be looked at. Can be as simple as an area of yourself that may be you don’t like very much. This can be physical, or an aspect of personality self. Can also be subconscious activity of suppressed or unexpressed desires.
Shadow self can be seen as a way to discover more about who you are, to know your divine sovereignty and to give yourself some grace, as all life is a learning experience. It can hold a great deal of knowledge, information and power to support. It often holds codes which can provide a lot of information relevent to your personal journey.
Shadow self awareness and acknowledgement, followed by acceptance allows a doorway to be opened for revelation, insight and reconnection back to power. To notice what in life is being reflected back to you and what you are deflecting. Shadow experiences often happen spontaneously, when this happens it is easier to process arising insights that will assist you. When you process and embody the learnings shadow shows you, then it can release the energy of that one part, you feel more free, inspired, creative and more fully integrated into yourself. None of shadow detail clearing needs to be intense, complicated or painful. If in alignment with souls awakening the experience happens naturally, like a switch being turned on. Whilst initially this can be considered to be disconcerting until you have adjusted to the transition. It is all a natural part of souls development and growth, and leads to more fulfilling way of interaction with yourself.
There are various aids nature provides to assist in the process of instability that may be instigated through any clearing of the infrastructure of shadow self. Often creates a temporary inbalance which can be supported.
Any darker crystals can be used as you process, essential oils can also be used to assist transition. Oils like Frangipani, holy Basil, vetiver and Fragonia. Time for your self doing some thing you enjoy is of value, as is being open to your personal clarity and expressing your feelings. Writing down your thoughts can be of some help, letting them free flow. Sometimes there can be a quick shift of energy uplift and sometimes very slow. Depending on your specific personal energy signature, alignment and requirements. Imagine for a moment if you shine a torch in the dark your shadow will show on the wall, ceiling or floor. The shadow self is very much like this, an extension but intrinsic part of you. The more light added, the less darker shadows will be seen. Everyone is an individual. Trust what feels right for you and your experience. As there can be many times throughout life we may be guided to acknowledge a part of our shadow. And are offered the opportunity for moments of stillness within ourselves to access and assimilate what’s going on and then to move forward with a brighter lighter sense of self.
