Why do Shadow Work

Why Do Shadow Work?

Through shadow work, you can gain access to the hidden strength, power and creative energy within your shadow.

It can take a lot of effort to keep these parts of us that are hidden in shadow and to keep believing the self-limiting beliefs we have about ourselves; by exploring and understanding our shadows we can begin to reclaim more of our strength and power – Our shadows can become a creative gold mine of useful energy nuggets!

Here are some of the reasons why you might do Shadow Work:

to have something change or happen differently in your life
to understand why you behave in a certain way
to get help or support in unfolding more of yourself
to work with feelings like joy, fear, grief, anger and shame
to break through old patterns of behaviour
to regain your confidence and self esteem
to come to terms with a major life transition or crisis
to become the mature adult you want to be
to improve your quality of life
to clarify your deeper purposes and goals
