Shadow Work Thread

Hi there!

I want to invite and encourage you to do the shadow work with ma and maybe help each other with that.

I woke up and wrote to someone words I wanted to write yesterday. Today morning was really chilly, without heavy emotions, just morning, birds, clouds and my presence, I don't remember when I felt like that. And after writing those words - puff immediately all kind of fears appeared and now I think - how?... In one moment there is calmness and just second after I wrote truth but that shows me from vulnerable side to someone all my demons woke up. Isn't it weird?

So today I will focus on trying to find what those demons of this mixed hard feelings want to show me...

Good day

Well not Everyone will know what shadow work is.

shadow work is bringing parts of yourself that you have hidden and bringing it to the front

Repressed feelings by bringing them to the front of your mind you can work on them there for freeing you.


Namaste

Question for today:

When you notice you feel self-pity - ask yourself what core belief is underneath this feeling?

With me, there is something with a Word "never". I don't know more. Like: I'll never be happy or fulfilled or loved. But I need to dig it more

well i never feel self-pity, mostly my life is going along just fine. I suppose I could, all the things others have that I don't have... lol...

as far as never well one of the things I'm trying to get over is all my yelling at people for not giving me stuff I want! That is a hard one! Because honestly, sometimes if I'm just being honest, I don't really want some of that stuff anyway, just, again people tell me I should have this or that and it hurts not to... so I do ridiculous stuff like say i want things but blockade any chance I have at actually having them and then turn around and yell at others for not giving them to me anyway. Sigh.

i guess what i always wanted deep-down is some kind of relationship that felt meaningful to me somehow... that takes more than one person. But I can't seem to find that as everyone always seems to be on a different page from me, and meanwhile it just seems to me like any way I have to say I might prefer something different just comes off as me yelling and being demanding... at least that is what I've come to feel about it. Which I get as I have no business telling others who they should be anyway so I might as well be blocked from trying.

But anyway under those conditions then if I want to relate at all I have to be very giving of myself and meanwhile accept not getting anything out of it that would be meaningful to me. That has turned into such a disaster sometimes though... and lately I'm rebelling at the idea... which is why I'm like maybe I'm fooling myself with this idea that I even want to be able to relate meaningfully. sigh....

missing posts... ok another person who doesn't like talking to me... noted... I think I need a list

but it isn't like any of this matters so much either. I think people look at certain words and think they are somehow inherently important... they aren't really any more important than we want to make them.

so the only reason the words I just said are important to me is it allowed me to put out an 'attitude' that others aren't going to agree with. I've been afraid of that all my life, so, another chalk up to doing what one is afraid of I guess?

I get so tired of that sometimes... it can just be so exhausting to chase a fear when you know that all that brings next is another fear to chase.

But other than that, what I said it is word soup. I'm going to go on tomorrow as I went on yesterday just that now I've said disagreeable words for others to chew on... although maybe I'm a little stronger knowing I will be able to face up to what I did now?

which means more being alone I guess but one of the tricks I learned is, if reality is always going to turn out the same way regardless of what I do, I get to actually choose what I do the way I want to.... none of this choosing whatever others are telling me to choose based on what I can get for myself I guess...

Its not that I do not like talking to you, because in such a case I would not write pm - it's rather that it's hard to talk with you as I have an impression that you don't hear or listen, so.... There is no dialagoue

In Poland where I am from, there is a song from the album that is titles: START EVENTUALLY LISTENING..
and this song means much to me.

Will try to answer to you when I'll have enough space in myself to take care of the other,
listen to him and nurture words he shared. Sorry

I first heard the term here. I guess, then you are to feeeel your way through the uncomfortable feeling
of seeing a darker side of yourself. Right?
Therapists love that; its part of the training.

While someone like Abraham-Hicks just says drop all that and focus on the good feeling of feeling good...
similar to seeiing something scary on TV...you dont stay there
if its awful....you change to something lighter....ahhh. :)
Always choices,
