Everything we need is within us contrary to what society and the mind tells us fulfilment will never come externally. All external pleasure is short lived however we have deep states of being within us that come from nothing and outside of us and cannot be removed only covered up with emotions and the mind. They include love, peace and joy. In this episode we will look at how you can tap into them and get out of suffering from the mind.
When we are ruled by our ego we may think we want certain manifestations that aren't what we need for our soul and growth but what we think we want. Living this way limits you as the ego is always ruled by fear, what is comfortable and known keeping you in the same reality. When you manifest from a place of your soul and hearts desires this opens you up to dreams much bigger then you imagined and thought possible for yourself. This is how you can live up to your destiny and full potential by asking what manifestations and truly meant to fulfil you and your soul. You can then work to bring this is with no fears.
Avoidance behaviours don't have to only be 'negative' but they can be anything that keeps you distracted from your internal world so you don't have to face your pain or whatever you are running from. In this episode we look at why these behaviours exist and how to get clear on what they are to actively stop living from them. A lot of your habits and personality may not be who you truly are but the part of you that developed to survive to keep all of your trauma and wounds out of your consciousness therefore its important to analyse them.
One of the main aspects of shadow work is facing old pain and trauma that has been previously suppressed so it can be felt and released from the body. However if you don’t understand how to process these emotions you may end up getting stuck in the cycle of identifying with them and clinging to them from a place of the mind. This is episode will show you how to face your pain and to let it leave your body from a conscious place without it taking over you.
When you are on your healing journey, of integrating your shadow, taking responsibility and accepting every part of you something that may come as a consequence of this is guilt. This can happen as you truly are changing and growing and you start to see how you hurt others or mistakes you once made that no longer align with who you are. It can be easy to fall into the trap of wanting to stay stuck at your old self out of guilt or to help those around you but this will only harm you. If people in your life are shaming you for who you are growing into, or blaming you for any mistakes you made maybe it is a sign they aren't meant to be in your life anymore. It is up to no one else to decide who you can be and at some point you do need to move on even though a part of you still has that love. You can truly heal and change as a person and don't let anyone tell you differently as long as you are putting in the work and taking responsibility for your triggers and responses.
Often with those healing or empathic people there is the sense that you want to fix or save your loved ones which can result in attracting others with a lot of wounds that you see as needing help. Having compassion for others and their triggers is a beautiful thing however its important to have boundaries and not let this be taken advantage of by people that drain your energy. People may project the idea that because you are conscious or spiritual you have to be there for them and support them no matter how they treat you. You can love someone and want the best for them whilst being at a distance because you have the self worth to see they are hurting you, or that they cant love you right. In this episode we look at why its important to set these boundaries but also how this ties in with co dependant relationships and a lack of self worth.
Many people experience blockages when manifesting because their old limiting beliefs are still subconsciously ruling their reality and attracting unwanted experiences. They need to be targeted in order to shift into a new reality where your beliefs and your being is aligned with what you want to attract. We often have resistance to changing these beliefs because this means things are going to change, and what no longer serves us will fall away which is terrifying to the ego. If you truly want to manifest your desires you have to accept that things are going to have to shift as a result of you changing your beliefs for example you cannot want to believe you are loveable and still go back to old people that don't see your worth or mistreat you. It requires facing the fear of opening up to new healthy connections that mirror this new belief of you are loveable.
When your soul chooses to be awakened and on a spiritual path in this lifetime you will likely come into this world with a heavy pain body. This pain body is stored of painful emotions, experiences and traumas. Spiritual people are much more energetically sensitive to this pain so that it has to be faced and the darkness can then be transmuted into light. Others who are asleep may be able to live from this place of pain and distract themselves however if your soul has chosen to heal this won't be possible for you. At times it can seem like a blessing being so awake and having to bring up all this darkness when others can push it back but in reality it is a blessing. Only by facing this pain and darkness can you let more light and love in to free yourself from this pain body.
'Novocaine spirituality' is a term coined by teal swan, where we can use spiritual tools or practices as a way to numb or try to remove our pain. Although these tools can be positive we can very easily use them to distract us further from facing our shadow self and being in a state of spiritual bypassing. No matter how many self help books your read, or how much knowledge you have your life or self will never change if you aren't willing to do the hard work such as going within and facing the pain and not just focusing on the 'love and light' of spirituality.
Fear can easily turn to anxiety because of how much we live in the mind. Our bodies can react physically even if there is no external threat but we are just imagining something happening, which triggers emotions or we live from the past. Constantly being in high survival states of stress is draining for the body. We will look at amygdala hijacking and what happens when your fear takes over. You will never be fearless but you can choose courage to act and live your life anyway by observing the emotional reactions.
This society is designed to keep us in a fragmented state so we don't connect to our true power and souls truth. We are taught from a very early age to seek our happiness and fulfilment outside of us, which is no surprise depression rates are so high. The inner emptiness you feel is not because you lack something but because of the disconnection to your soul, therefore we will look at why its vital you retrieve this part of you.
Its very easy to attach your self worth to external situations to give you validation and approval however true self worth comes internally. It comes from a true acceptance of every part of you no matter what others say or how they treat you. However this is only possible to achieve once you have started shadow work and your shadow self is integrated so you can also love this part of you. We learn in childhood parts of us are seen as unworthy therefore its essential you call back these aspects from your subconscious and get your validation from within.https://snipfeed.co/highpriestesshealing11
