Ignoring Half of Yourself!

Reprogramming Your Subconscious Starts With Revisiting Your Shadow

One of the best ways to learn things is by listening to other people’s stories.

Why?

Usually, when you can really feel someone’s emotions, the memory will stick.

One of the truest statements is, “People don’t usually remember exactly what happened, but they sure do remember how it made them feel.”

This just goes to show that feelings and emotions are the staying-powers for our brains. Storytelling is a great way to learn from other people’s experiences without actually having to experience them for yourself.

If you’ve done any kind of research on spirituality, you’ll find a pattern. Most deeply spiritual people have some kind of “dark” past that they had to go through in order to reach the spiritual maturity that they are now at.

This phase in people’s lives is called many different things: facing the shadow, a dark night of the soul, mirror work, shadow work, and the list goes on and on…

What we’re getting at is that spirituality isn’t all “love and light” like everyone likes to think that it is, there is real work to be done in order to manifest your true soul’s purpose.

What Is The Dark Night of The Soul?

You know those experiences that we’re not always so proud to share?

Maybe these recollections are things that have happened that you’ve tried not to ever think about again, suppressing them from your conscious experience.

Or, maybe they’ve affected you so much that the reaction you have to certain situations in your current life stems from a subconscious learned behavior from your past.

Whatever the case is, the dark night of the soul or the shadow work that everyone unknowingly tries to avoid will bring it to light.

You see, this process is integral to being able to manifest your true soul’s purpose.
