Shadow Work

 Topic: Reflection of Forgiveness & Selfishness 

1) Is there anyone in your life who has hurt you and with whom you have not given genuine intent to forgive and be merciful to? Why?
2) Are there still memories of pain and hurt associated with that person that you catch yourself reflecting upon and having ill/upset feelings about?
3) Who have you used and how did you use someone else for your own selfish gratification or enrichment, even if not purposefully?
4) What relationship is ongoing in your life right now which is based on selfishness? Are you calling this relationship love when deep down you know that it isn’t?
5) What steps do you need to take to rid selfish people from your life, and to rid your acts of selfishness from your life?

Important factors of shadow work:
Center;
If you attempt to get to know your shadow self when you’re not centered within yourself, you won’t get constructive results.
Friendliness to self;
Before you get to know your shadow, it is helpful to cultivate a sense of unconditional friendliness with one’s self.
Without friendliness and self-compassion, it is difficult to look at our darker stuff.
Mindset;
Seeing the shadow requires a self-reflective mindset—the ability to reflect and observe our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings.
Honesty;
🤎Self-honesty and integrity are prerequisites for shadow work.
It’s easy to give lip service to these qualities, but true self-honesty means being willing to see unpleasant attributes in our behavior and personality.
Written Insights;
🖤Make a writing journal where you record your new discoveries about yourself. Writing your insights and reviewing them later helps encode the discovery into your awareness.
