    Bless your competitors: Instead of harboring negative feelings towards others in your field, send them blessings. By doing so, you are also inviting blessings into your own life.


    Do the inner work: Recognize that feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are normal, but they can be addressed through shadow work and self-reflection. Take the time to understand and heal these aspects of yourself.

    Episode 8: The Power of Shadow Work: Embracing Your Inner Light

    Episode 8: The Power of Shadow Work: Embracing Your Inner Light

    In this episode, Colleen St.Michaels discusses the importance of shadow work and how it can help us grow and expand spiritually. She explains that shadow work involves exploring the hidden parts of ourselves and bringing them into consciousness. By shining a light on our shadows, we can release the density and heaviness we have been carrying and create a lighter, more enlightened environment. Colleen shares personal experiences and provides practical exercises for listeners to engage in their shadow work. She emphasizes the power of self-reflection, forgiveness, and self-acceptance in healing and transformation.



    Key Takeaways:


    Shadow work is a practice of exploring and investigating the hidden parts of ourselves and bringing them into consciousness.


    Shadows are our unaddressed emotions and aspects that we have suppressed or ignored.


    By shining a light on our shadows and embracing them with love and acceptance, we can release the heaviness and create a lighter, more enlightened state of being.


    Shadow work involves self-reflection, forgiveness, and self-acceptance. It requires us to confront our fears, vulnerabilities, and limiting beliefs.


    Engaging in shadow work leads to personal growth, healing, and a deeper connection with our intuition and spiritual path.



    Quotes:


    “When we can allow ourselves to detach from the attachment of what we thought life should be or what our thoughts are, it should be this way, it should be that way, we're now blocking ourselves from actually receiving the next coordinate that's coming through our intuitive impressions." - Colleen St.Michaels


    "We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest and live in the glory that is within us. It is not just some of us, it is in everyone." - Marianne Williamson


    Your response stays within your control. Others' reactions are their responsibility, and they bear the weight of their wounds. These wounds shouldn't become lashes that leave lasting marks on us. Instead, it is our responsibility to begin the process of healing them." - Colleen St.Michaels


    “We cannot manifest the things we desire if we allow the parts of ourselves that need love and healing to keep creating stories of unworthiness within us, preventing us from accepting them.”-Colleen



    Summary:

    In the journey of personal growth and spiritual evolution, it is essential to engage in shadow work. This practice involves exploring our darker, hidden aspects and bringing them into consciousness. Just as every home has dark rooms, our inner home also has shadows. These shadows are the parts of ourselves that we have pushed aside, ignored, or deemed unworthy of attention. However, these shadows hold valuable insights and lessons to help us grow and expand.
