When it comes to your spiritual growth and awakening, there will come a time when you are face to face with your shadow side. Facing your shadow side can be uncomfortable. It shows you what needs to be healed, cleared, purged, and released from your life.
When your shadow side emerges, it brings emotions, memories/flashbacks, and karma (present and past-life) to the surface. You are then faced with a choice. To either face your shadow side to heal or to remain in the current state you are in by turning away from your shadow side. There is no right or wrong answer to this. It is your free will choice to decide what is best for you. You can always come back at a later time. Sometimes your shadow side comes when you are not ready and will return when you are after more lessons & tower moments. The one thing that will remain true is it will always be your free will choice.
Facing your shadow side takes a lot of steps and work. It will depend on how open or close minded you are and if your thoughts are ego-based or intuition-based. It is a lifestyle change because you must change years, months, or even a lifetime of thinking, habits, behaviors, and lifestyle choices. It will take time and commitment. There is no quick fix.
Look at it as if you want to get into better shape & lose weight. You must commit to a lifestyle change of eating and exercise. If you just go on that 30 day quick diet/meal plan you will see results but the minute you go back to your old eating habits, the weight comes back.
To face and defeat the shadow side requires a lifestyle change on your end that resonates with you. It will be different for everyone because everyone’s life path journey is different as well as the level of healing and self love work that is needed.
Choosing to heal does have its perks. It gives you the strength to release people, situations, thoughts, beliefs, and patterns that no longer resonate with you. You will get out low vibration energy that kept you in ego, thinking negative thoughts, dimmed your light, blaming others for what happens to you, and/or lashing out at others.
Honoring your flaws is a good thing because they are a part of you. Honor the good and the bad. You can heal the bad and learn the lessons for them. Understanding that committing to this new way of being will not be smooth sailing. You will encounter bumps in the road. Identifying them, overcoming them, and continuing to move forward is what is needed.
Remember if you have a bad day it is ok. We all have them - myself included. The best thing about having a bad day is that there is always something good that happened during the course of the day and you will go to sleep knowing a new day will begin in the morning to help you start over.
Keep on moving forward in your journey of life. You can do it, if you choose.
