Facing your shadow can liberate you from manifesting what your unconscious mind runs on which is often behaviors created in trauma reliving old and tiring narratives to stories you cycle over and over. Your demons, shadow self, dark aspects can manifest as issues with mental health, diseases, feelings of low self-worth, addictions, scarcity mindset, and other mind/body health issues that can affect the overall quality of life. Our shadow self often harms our life, in ways that are unconscious to us at the time, as a habitual reaction to particular places, people, or things. Our shadow self blocks us from acting for our own greatest good and can prevent us from reaching our true potential in life.
The idea of the shadow self was first conceived by Carl Jung, the word ‘shadow’ refers to hidden parts of our being. These may be parts of ourselves we try to repress because they make us feel sad or wounded. This is the side that we don’t show society, such as when we are at work or school. It can also indicate how we internally perceive ourselves as being weak or in pain – that we feel the need to hide these parts of ourselves. Carl Jung believed in the integration of the shadow side so that our full self is acknowledged, and we can live in a balanced way.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life
and you will call it fate."
- Carl Jung
