Doing The Deep Work—reclaiming our power and integrating disowned parts of ourselves will forever change the way we approach mental health, wellbeing, and self-care.
The Deep Work...
The Deep Work...
Everything in nature requires balance—that’s why we have opposites such as positive and negative, up and down, day and night, feminine and masculine... You get the idea.
Did you know these opposites exist within you, too?
There is your ‘Light side’ – the side that you present to the world, and the ‘Shadow side’ – hidden within you.
It’s not good nor bad, it just is...
In the language of psychotherapy, the Shadow is referred to as the ‘repressed unconscious’ – repressed because you have pushed or moved it out of your awareness and unconscious because you are not aware of it!
But there is real power in the Shadow. Finding what’s there and bringing it to light can be very potent for your personal growth!
In fact, it can be your Superpower!
Why do we have a Shadow?
Why do we have a Shadow?
We come into this world as little beings full of potential, and from the moment we are born our unconscious mind is taking in everything around us... teaching us, shaping us, helping us to figure out what it means to be ‘human’ and what our place is within our families, our communities, and the world at large.
We learn, over time, what’s acceptable and what’s not. What’s desirable as a personality trait, and what’s not... And all along the way we push down, split off, reject, deny, and disown, little pieces of ourselves.
We do this because we fear judgement. We fear punishment, rejection, separation—ultimately, we fear being unloved. And this is only natural in so many ways because once upon a time when we were tribal beings—being ‘kicked out’ or ‘not accepted’ surely meant death.
Humans needed the protection and security of the tribe to survive. We still do. Human connection and interaction are vital for our wellbeing.
So, we think that if we hide these traits, or if we bury them down deep enough, they’ll just disappear!
But guess what? They don’t. In fact, they play out all day, every day in your life—you project them on others! You’re just not aware of it, because these are ‘unconscious’ acts.
The purpose of the Shadow work is to find and re-own all those parts of yourself that you have rejected and deemed unlovable in order to achieve integration and wholeness.
The Benefits of the Deep Work...
One of the greatest benefits of the Deep Work is that it frees up energy.
Maintaining a Shadow (hiding stuff from yourself) is hard work, and it takes a great deal of energy to continue ‘managing your identity’ and repressing the parts of yourself that are not who you think you ‘should be’.
When you let go of your Shadow you are essentially allowing yourself to just ‘be yourself’ ... Yep! Your authentic self, which can bring a greater sense of peace and freedom.
Meeting Your Shadow...
Meeting Your Shadow...
I bet that sometimes you will find a trait in someone else that you really dislike – or it triggers you in some way or brings up a feeling of resistance?
Instead of judging them, take a moment to ask yourself if this is something you have disowned within yourself?
Have you ever displayed this trait? In what way, in a different context, might you be displaying it?
The process of meeting your Shadow has a simple purpose: to become aware of your repressed unconscious drives, feelings, needs and potentials—to forgive them.
Once you have accepted and forgiven these parts of yourself, not only do you feel more ‘whole’ you are free to make more fulfilling and beneficial choices as to how you might want to meet these previously repressed needs in future.
Creating a Paradigm Shift...
Everyone has a Shadow and it’s nothing to fear. Instead, you can learn to harness its power for your highest good.
Our Shadow can create limiting beliefs that keep us from achieving our goals, it can hold us back from achieving success or it can bubble up feelings of shame and guilt... destroying our relationships.
Although our Shadow may be hidden to us, its energy is carried within us and affects the way we behave and respond to life.
That’s why we have created this workshop... And by participating in it, you’ll find that you have nothing to fear from your Shadow, but everything to gain!
In this workshop you will uncover your hidden gifts through working with your Shadow and experience a process to connect with these disowned aspects of Self to bring them into the Light.
One of the most important principles that you will ever learn is this...
The way you feel about yourself on the inside determines what you will create for yourself on the outside.
The way you feel about yourself on the inside determines what you will create for yourself on the outside.
In other words, your external world is a direct reflection of your internal world.
The way you feel about yourself in the privacy of your own thoughts will show up in the quality of your relationships, the level of financial success you can attain, and the amount of love health, vitality, laughter, and joy you will experience in your daily life.
The key to unlocking your true authentic power, opening your heart deeply to love, and finding the confidence to go after everything you want in your life ... lies hidden in your Shadow.
