Hey there Spirit friends! A day early today as I have some conflict tomorrow. I so like to connect with you all in the morning ( my time) here. Our Shadow Side is kinda a mysterious topic but one we need to think about. Have you heard this term? It might sound intimidating but doesn’t have to be. It’s really just that dark side we all have. No, I don’t mean evil or violence but just that word of EGO. It’s about our self versus the ego mind always chattering in our ear. We will respond but ultimately it’s HOW you respond that counts. Our shadow represents the weaknesses, faults, failings, compulsions, and all that stuff. They are life lessons always guiding us to do and be better, right?

Think of it like this: Spirit= Light, Shadow= Dark…. So, if we live a life a Spirit-filled life, we are living in light. If we chose to live a shadow-filled life, we are living in the dark. Yes, I KNOW there will always be those dark times of uncertainty or fear that come up but again, look to the light however that feels to you. This means to manage and control how we view a situation. COVID is a perfect example of this for us as a collective. Right now, it is very difficult for many to see the good in all this or the light. For me personally, it’s mostly about my kids now and only going to school a few days a week. I worry about their mental and social health ALL the time as any parent does. But, I also need to realize that many have it a lot worse than us with financial situations, home lives, and those kids who aren’t going to school at all. This is how we need to see our frustrations despite what is going on. The external stuff will always be around even if it’s lurking in the background. We need to keep our internal world healthy by choosing better thoughts and options. I need this process too everyday, believe me friends.

A good way to start is to talk to yourself like you would a friend. We are great at lifting a friend’s spirits but why not our own? Guilty as charged! The other day I panicked since so many things were going on around me and  felt pulled to hit the anxiety button. I decided to focus on my breathing and took a nap. That was my brief solution. Those circumstances will still be there later but I just took a break from it all then. When we calm ourselves, we become better equipped to handle a crisis. We also get clearer images on how to best move forward when we are more alert and level headed. Not every problem will get resolved in the way we want but it will get resolved someway, somehow. COVID will be a constant battle for many months to come but we need positive ways to handle our stress over it all. That shadow side will creep back in to knock us down but by just WANTING the light, the Universe will be there to guide us thru. We need to want the good though and send that thought out there.

It’s the Yin/Yang pull of the good and bad everyday of our lives. We need the balance in order to make the best of any life decision. This needs some patience and practice of course as we aren’t expected to always be that positive person all the time. It’s such a journey and remember Earth is our school where we are taught throughout our whole life. We have free will and sometimes make the wrong choice but the great part is, we always get to choose again. We get to choose again, and again, and again. That’s where the lessons come in friends. Think about a recent stressful moment of time in your life and what you were faced with. It doesn’t have to be the pandemic since that’s pretty much a constant right now but something else.

What were your choices? How did you respond? If you responded negatively with that shadow side, did you choose again? If you chose the light, how did that make you feel? It’s all about how our feelings get impacted by our actions. I am the H.S.P. or highly sensitive person many of us spiritual intuitives tend to be so my emotions go WAY off the chart sometimes. No, that doesn’t mean I am constantly crying or panicked but just feeling it all so deeply when I don’t want to. I just am that person and it’s a state of overwhelm which Abraham Hicks mentions quite often throughout many books. We need those challenges that keep us connected. There are those who will say life is a constant struggle but then those who say it shouldn’t be at all. We create struggles but then for some, there are other factors. Whatever your belief on that topic, remember that our free will does determine how to respond to ANY life situation we find ourselves in.

So, Spirit Friends are you afraid of that shadow side? Don’t be since we can control it and recognize its presence. It will always be there as part of our being but just know we can decide how it all works with the light. Choose the light and BE the light as that will keep you going. The Universe is there if we just know that truth and ask for assistance always. We are never alone and do need help. Ask your Creator, Angels, Guides, or deceased loved ones for guidance on how to best respond to the shadow side. Sure, we’ll make mistakes but our road isn’t a straight line. It is filled with curves, bumps, detours, and such that we need to navigate. It isn’t always easy but once you embrace the LIGHT over the dark, it will come more easily and your life will truly shine.

I do hope this post served you and let me know your thoughts on the Shadow Side and how it affects many life choices…..
