April Pandemic Shadow Work
This month is an astrological time for shadow work and the timing is perfect for self-isolation. Though shadow work is not for the weak of heart, if done with supervision, mentors, support and good intentions, the pain and suffering is worth the healing. Shadow work refers to the YIN work within the mind and heart; going INSIDE self to sort, cope, manage and ‘clean house’. Therapy, catharsis, exercise, sweat, blood, tears and mental - emotional pain can sometimes happen while doing shadow work, and that is why having a PURPOSE in place is key. You go into shadow work with intention, a routine for meditation and securing a safe place to operate your mental space and to fight your emotional battle. Rapport, trust, comfort, ease and room to grow are all important with shadow work…
Next, is the meditation - the getting into the right body and mind space to safely explore your questions. Take one at a time and think - feel - write or speak the questions and answers back and forth. Process the energy, and when you’re ready, consider constructive discussion with others to challenge your conclusion - find peace in your resolution and in the process of finding answers.
With each question there are many answers. With each answer, there are many questions.
