    Don't Do Shadow Work if You Don't Plan on Actually Making Changes
    Shadow work is a really powerful tool, but if you don't plan on actually making changes, don't do shadow work.
    By this point, you have already heard of shadow work. To sum it up in a neat little package, shadow work is the practice of becoming conscious of the unconscious aspects within you. This integration of unconsciousness ultimately leads to complete and total awareness. Shadow work is absolutely essential if you want to be an integrated person, if you want to actualize your personal power, if you want to walk the earth without fear, if you want to step into a place of free will instead of determinism, if you want to become awakened, if you want to know yourself, if you want to create the life you want in reality, if you want to end your suffering and/or the suffering in the world and the list goes on and on. To understand more about this, you can watch two of my videos. The first is: What is Shadow Work?. The second is: What are the Benefits of Shadow Work. Ultimately, shadow work is my specialty. For this reason, what I am about to say is something that you should take very, very seriously: Do not do shadow work if you don’t plan on actually making a change.

    Get in the habit of making changes, prove to yourself that you can sustain that pattern, and then go looking for the next change to make.

    • @rickaster
      @rickaster 2 года назад +8

      Example: Maybe you decide that getting up 10 minutes earlier would improve your life. You do that every day for a week or however long it takes to convince you that you’ll keep doing it. Then maybe you decide you are going to eat a better breakfast, so you do that every day for a week. Then maybe it’s five minutes of daily exercise. So after a few weeks you have made these three changes and you can see that they are staying with you. You’ve established a pattern of change. With that, you can start looking for the next thing to change, and this can be something that’s slightly deeper. Taking this approach, you can change everything over time, and you don’t have to face the confusion and discomfort of finding a hundred things you “should” change all at one.

      Sadly, this never works for me. There is always a day where I don't want to take my medicine or don't want to clean my face, but feeling miserable and having painful acne on my face remind me to keep taking my meds and cleaning my face. So, maybe this does work but for me but it is done to avoid painful consequences. Even if I do get into a routine, I am still tempted to do other things even if my routine is making me happy. I guess that is why old habits die hard?

      I did the shadow work back in 2015 and I sat down one evening and decided to push through everything. What are you really frightened of? I guess I was frightened that if I went to tea with my demons they would consume me, I would go mad.
      I went through the shadow work, I walked through the traumas of my life and layed on the floor screaming and crying. I knew that I was so sick of being broken I was willing to sacrifice going crazy for it. My internal voice that I had always had was so loud towards the end and I screamed back "why am I so different from everyone else that I have to suffer this way!?" It had no answer. Then it tried to do the old crap how I wasn't good enough, but I had broken it. It was no longer my voice... It was my fathers... Everything he had said to me... I have not heard my own internal voice put me down ever again. My demons were scared children repeating what they had been told... Not these scary beasts I thought they were.
      I was in a shitty relationship and I changed. I dropped it. All the unhealthy things I once gravitated towards, I dropped. I shed a skin. There was this realisation of why I was the way I was... What I had been carrying.
      The moral is, nothing good is easy. You have to be brave to push through that wall despite being scared. I have come to find that everyone has a different theme and karmic lesson in this life and becoming your own expert is the most amazing thing you can do. You know exactly what you want, what you need and why. It gives you great power over yourself. I hope you become an expert on yourself soon :)

      i think an effective mindset to have, or at least one that is working for me, is to think about karma, not in a scared, but in an empowered way. Life will always force you to integrate that aspect in one way or another, maybe even in a harsh way if you keep ignoring it, so it is better to do it immediately. i use this as motivation to keep going, and i am seeing positive results :)

    I love this video! I'm new to TS and this shadow work / concept, but I just realised I've unknowingly been doing it and it's turned my world upside down all year. Many losses. Yet the significant people I lost I now realise were the ones blocking my expansion. A year ago, I began exploring with a therapist how I was subconsciously blocking myself from conceiving a child. That turned up the heat alright. I never predicted that this would eventually mean separating myself from both parents, brother, and now my partner - all abusive, all increasingly badly, even violent. On face value, things seem worse than ever. But this video's now shed a whole new light on the situation (no pun intended)

      If you can experiment with filling your heart with happiness while still married, then you will be able to make the most of things either way.
      That is not to say whether you should leave the relationship. If a relationship has become controlling or abusive on either side, and you have been unsuccessful in changing the pattern, it can be the healthiest thing to leave. But it also helps to realize that the seeds of the issues came from both people, so they usually get recreated in some form in the next relationship, even if it feels completely different at first. So don't look for happiness in a relationship - make it yourself.

    I would argue that there are two impossibilities in this proposal.
    1. once a fact comes into your consciousness, you can for the first time decide whether to act upon it or not. you cannot know in advance if you will act upon a fact you don't even know.
    2. you cannot not change through shadow work. Even if you decide not to act upon the new consciousness, this is now a conscious decision, which is a gamechanger.

    This is so true. And it takes time once you do. I noticed that my whole life was just build upon insecurities that I gathered all throughout my very negative childhood and adolescence, and once you realize all of that, you just don't ever wanna go back unconscious. So I started meditating and letting go 24/7. Lost balance completely. Found myself living a life that just wasn't mine. Dropped almost all responsibilities that I took on. Inevitably developed a lot of coping mechanisms to deal with the huge amounts of stress that my life was now suddenly giving me. But I'm moving forward. And I have absolute certainty that I'll eventually get rid of all of this excess clutter for the better. It does take some time. And it does take a lot of your energy. But it's ultimately the best and most meaningful thing an individual can ever do with his life. So welcome it!
    And thanks Teal for this beautiful channel that I just discovered! It's really of huge value to lots of people.

    "If you become aware of how damaging an aspect of human society is, it becomes even more painful to withness it"
    This is something that can not be avoided through pulling yourself into alignment. Perhaps that is the true reason for doing shadowwork. To finally see the reality of life, which is pretty painful.
    Nothing what you do in terms of alignment will be able to take that pain away.

My past attempts flopped. I am terrified to try something again. It has been coming up repeatedly and screaming at me when I go to my job. I have been an adult bus driver for the last 10 months. My experience is getting worse, more physical like the bus is likely to have something go wrong. Last night was the worst. I had to listen to a clicking door in my ear for 5 hours. A man got mad at me because I missed his stop, then he wanted off the bus even though he did not know where he was. At the end, after I parked the bus for the night, the cleaners who come afterwards, they could not start the bus, it died with no warning.
    I want shadow work, I want to make the necessary changes in my life.

    Thank you for making us all aware of this.
    Action is the final step in creation and in actualizing any kind of change or transformation.
    So, many people fail to achieve their goals, alignment or whatever mostly because they do not take sufficient action or because they, like so many others, believe that change and transformation happens from the outside in (as in when you talk to a girl or guy you like you will feel better or get this and that that will chnge your identity and life).
    When in reality, change and transformation happens from the inside out with action being the final step.

For the last couple of days, since I am aware of, I have been suffering for making that change. And today I know that I should take the first step and Thank God, I feel that I am ready now! Love you so much! God Bless You Beautiful Woman! 💖🌸

    _"... that you're either forced to make a change or you die ... that's not a problem for the universe at large ..."_
    Yeah.
    And that's what we have,
    ladies and gentlemen,
    that is our wonderful gift,
    our birthright what we
    got ...
    What even
    our mothers
    did not know.
    They thought they
    have
    something to give.
    But they have only
    this curse to pass
    to us.
    (And I suppose,
    I should even love
    the universe for this.)

    Your vids give me hella eerie feelings now lol. The fact that you took a spiritual path and have all of this information, means you know how you should act, treat people, and heal, and choose not to. That shits scary, but the ones who do the actual work see through it. Stay safe kids

    Thank you for this inclusion. I like her work, she's assertive, non apologetic and says what many would never have the gore to say but wish they could. I first learned of Shadow Work on your channel. I use your channel as my spiritual guide. I have grown so much as a person since discovering your channel. I'm learning so much about me that was hidden where? I do not know.

    The thing is, in the shadow work I've done, I can't help but change. I've made some profound realizations that leave me a different person. Shadow work is another form of healing, and I can say, it heals.

    I didn't understand this before. More and more I know that it is so important for me to gain my own independence and freedom - and that I cannot continue to depend upon my mom. So, I know the action to take is get a job. Any job. Then - I'll have the freedom to grow my own life. I need this. I need to make plans and grow.

    @zara1883 2 года назад +9

    I disagree with this message. Shadow work can lead to your expansion whether you plan to take action or not. But if you choose not to take action,your expansion will be accompanied by increased suffering. But even the increase in suffering can cause you to take action. Even if you die, is that not better than living a life of suffering?

    Thx for this video. It's very revealing for me as an aha-moment. I'm not afraid of changings and I did many in my life. Some of them were god, a lot of them were terrible bad. I hate feeling trapped in situations that don't work no matter how hard I try to overcome or with people that are impossible to deal with. I don't want to make any decision based on my willing to change anymore.

    I find it funny and ironic how being aware of shadow work, and the positive impact that it can potentially have, and has had in my experience, makes it a lot more difficult to choose not to do it just because I may not be ready to make the change. the irony, right? 🥴

    Hell yeah! For me, this video is just more reasons to do MORE SHADOW WORK! Use it as fuel and a ruthless drive to change your lives people!
    Yes it'll be painful no doubt about it. But NOT changing is always more painful in the long run... Because you'll regret it and WASTE your life.
    But of course, the decision is always yours.
    Thanks for giving us the option Teal! Appreciate it a lot :)

      I agree, this video revs me up!!! I love realizing that shadow work is just a way the universe takes care of me, it WILL make me do what is the right and the best thing for me even if I cry, and I would rather have a parent like that than someone who just wants to make me feel good but doesn't actually care about my deeper wellbeing enough to scold me into doing what is right. So hell yeah, if this will pain me into higher consciousness, I welcome it ❤

    This is definitely me. Lol. I have pretty good self awareness and for the most part know my shadow problems but for the life of me I can't go more than a few months before I go back to my old ways. And the only things that have lasted a few months was working out. But I always end up giving up

  • @rklos11
    @rklos11 2 года назад +8

    It can help to become aware of subconscious thoughts and feelings as a higher level of awareness and inner compass. My shadow work was more internal changes, accepting and loving the shadows, molding and manifesting empowering internal habits of thinking, feeling, and being. Still gotta work on my external stuff a bit more tho so I don't stay stuck a hermit in my DIY fortress of solitude 😂
    Thank you 🙏✌💚

    • @rklos11
      @rklos11 Год назад

      @@crystalclearice takes some practice, and you can try starting with acknowledgement and see how that feels. Shadows are not necessarily bad things either...so don't feel the need to purge them all. It's sort of like daytime and nighttime, you can't appreciate one without the other, and some people do prefer nighttime. I guess shadow work is connecting with and accepting sides of yourself that seem hidden or you have some bad feeling about. Something that is sort of ongoing, but needs more intentional work sometimes. That's how I feel anyways. All the best to you my friend! 🙏✌❤🤘

    It's hard for us to accept it, but change is an important part of our life... that's its beauty. We need to become like water - fluid and capable of adaptation and transformation. We need to become alchemists - to turn every moment of our life into a treasure.
    Shadow work is amazing tool for that.

    Some people truly can’t make changes . They don’t just think that , it’s actually true . I’m in that situation where I have the awareness but can not make changes big enough to change my circumstances. I have no idea what to do . All I know , is in my situation, I can not change what I’m enduring . My therapist agrees ! I’m stuck . I have no idea what to do now .
