5 Signs You Need Shadow Work

The shadow is the part of our psyche that contains all of our repressed and ignored emotions, habits, tendencies, desires and even gifts. This is an aspect of ourselves that we would rather pretend didn’t exist.

However if we ignore our shadow side completely we end up living lives rules by unconscious compulsions, never really making headway.

We all have a shadow or unconscious side, so we all have to do shadow work at some point. I would say go so far to say that shadow work is a crucial element to any spiritual practice.⠀
⠀
Sometimes the shadow is more relevant in our lives, while other times our focus should be on the lighter aspects. There doesn’t have to be a constant focus on the dark or unconscious, instead it’s all about balance.
⠀
However a big sign that you need shadow work right now is that specific lessons are repeating over and over, or your relationships are becoming cyclical. This is when the unconscious mind is ruling our lives, and we struggle to make healthy conscious decisions.⠀

How To Get Through a Dark Night of the Soul

We all have to go through a phase in our lives where we are forced to confront all of our deepest darkest fears and doubts, so we can come out the other end with deeper clarity.

This is what a dark night of the soul entails during a spiritual awakening. It’s an unexpected shake up of everything we consider familiar and comfortable.

On the other side of a dark night, we are able to embody even greater amounts of light. We are able to solidify who we are, and what we are here to do.

In this post I want to cover what the dark night of the soul is, why it happens, and how to get through it in one piece.

How To Awaken Divine Masculine Energy

How unified we are as individual beings has a lot to do with how well we balance our divine (healthy) masculine and feminine energies.

While there are a lot of resources about the divine feminine, the divine masculine is often left out of the frame.

When I talk about masculine and feminine here I’m not referring to outward behaviors, but the specific yin and yang traits that we can ALL embody.

Of course the way we view masculine and feminine in society relates to societal gender roles and the two sexes of male and female.

It’s difficult to really separate sex and gender or gender roles in this context. However I think it is possible for people of all genders to develop a healthy masculine and feminine, regardless of sex – it just tends to look a little different for everyone.

In today’s post I want to talk about my own journey in awakening the divine masculine, and some advice on how you can go about developing yours. This comes from a male perspective but I feel it can be used equally by anyone.

Should You Cut Etheric Cords?

From the moment we are born we start creating energetic cords with the people in our lives, beginning in the womb with our mothers, similar to the physical umbilical cord.

You could imagine cords extending from your body to anyone you meet or interact with on a day to day basis, however brief, making the energetic transfer of information possible.

These cords run even deeper with family, close friends and romantic relations.

In the case of past relationships many of these energetic cords are still attached years later, becoming active when an old memory is triggered.

In this post I want to go over these specific romantic connections and whether we should cut the cord or do something else.

7 Signs You Are an ‘Old Soul’

Our souls don’t have a linear age like we do in years here on Earth, we can’t pinpoint an exact birthdate or time.

However we can trace our soul’s journey through the cosmos like rings on a tree; with the grooves that form as a result of the different lifetimes and lessons we went through.

An old soul is one deeply embodies ancient wisdom, who carries the awareness of past lives beyond the physical. An old soul’s mission if you will, is to bring this knowledge to Earth.

Being an old soul can be extremely isolating and confusing at times, but it doesn’t have to be.

In this article I want to explain how to know if you are an old soul, and ways you can manage this awareness.

How To Let Go When Manifesting

If you have spent any time working with the law of attraction then you’ll know that letting go is one of the final key steps.

First you set an intention for what you want, then you prepare yourself emotionally for receiving it, and then you let go of your expectations.

However the phrase letting go leaves a lot to the imagination, and it can be hard to know what exactly you’re supposed to be doing.

Are you allowed to think about the manifestation at all? Do you let go of the desire itself, or the expectations of how it will arrive?

As someone who works with the law of attraction and considers themselves a logical-minded type of person, this stumped me too. In this post I want to go over the three key shifts I’ve found helpful in the process of letting go.
