How to love your shadow side
Intuition Tools Podcast Video
A question a lot of us have is how we can cope with our shadows, our shadow side, shadow parts in a way that’s constructive, positive and adds to our growth.
We’ve all heard it before: “you have to deal with your shadow side”, or: “my shadow came up”. What this means is that we get those periods where a lot of emotions are there, where we feel stress, or anxiety, or fear, when we just can’t seem to stop crying and we know and sense that there’s a theme there, coming up for us, to cope with, somehow.
I have found out, that which many great teachers have said in one form or another before, that if you truly want to heal, move forward, grow, you should look at, acknowledge, accept, feel, and even make friends with your shadows.

As you probably know, here at Lot of Light, I’m all about the how and the practical. So, how do you get through these challenging periods, where your shadows are coming up big time? Preferably without all the vagueness… How do you heal your shadows and – eventually – learn to integrate and even love your own shadow parts?
In this episode, I’ll talk about 3 practical ways we can approach our shadows when they are rising up for us, if you want to learn to love your shadow, and start healing it too:
1) Realize that your shadow is not some foreign energy coming to bully you – it is you.
2) (This is the most important part!) Just ‘be’ with your shadow, in loving attention, without any specific intentions.
3) Investigate what your shadow side is bringing you, what special powers it can give you.
Listen or watch the episode and you’ll have some powerful tools the next time your shadow comes up out of the dark 🙂
