""This is the importance of shadow work:
If we don't work on our stuff,
our stuff will work on us."
Ali Schultz
Accepting we have a shadow side can be difficult. We would rather pretend we are nothing but light. Light creates a shadow wherever it shines. It is vitally important to our growth to take our light and bravely walk into our darkness in spite of our fears.
If we ignore the issues hidden within us, they will continue to gnaw on us. No matter how controlled we attempt to be, our repressed feelings will present themselves. We have a choice to deal with them singularly or be overwhelmed as they explode into our reality.
If we notice a particular pattern that repeats itself, it is a message trying to teach us, to make us aware and redefine our intentions. "Why does this always happen to me?" we may ask. It recurs to expand our depth of understanding. Educating ourselves diminishes fear. The lesson nudges us to bring light into our darkness to eliminate fear.
