Shadow Work: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners (LIFE-CHANGING)

How would I do this if I was molested at age 4 to 5 years old

I journal to my child self sometimes. This seems similar to that. It’s very much like learning to be your own best friend and support.
I’m probably going to need a few journals. I have had a lifetime of trauma I haven’t been able to process yet.

Dang!! That book is like 50 bucks. Maybe I can rent it from the library for now.

This dude nagging thru his teeth at the end, both made Me laugh and replay this vid with full attention.

After literally listening for 15 minutes I've learnt nothing.

how about i just continue tapping things out.

Before to work your shadow I advice to correct your cognitive distortions, find your value and find your core thoughts about yourself. You’ll have a stronger foundation to integrate your shadow.

You to find a feeling like « I feel I am stuck ». Feeling that your stuck isn’t the proof that you are stuck. Taking our feeling for truth or proof is a cognitive distortion called emotional reasoning.

I agree with you when it comes to the inner child. It is not from your childhood or your child part. Your inner child is the one thing that protects you all the time it is not hurt or with scars. It is just acting hurt as a defense mechanism from the emotions of the shadow. Our shadows is a different entity its like the trash can as you describe it, the seat of your weaknesses and pain. Your inner child is the lid of that trash can. The inner child do not want to open that lid to not destroy yourself. However, once you learn to talk properly to your inner child and remove the lid, the shadow then will overflow. So the inner child is just a gateway to the shadow not itself. The inner child is also the mirror of the shadow, and as mirrors. You cannot change the reflection without the real person - the shadow.

cute

This works amazing

that's still mind.only clicked for the cringe thumbnail

Hey bro, cracking video. Really resonated with me. I’ve never felt so certainly that someone in a YT vid was having a conversation directly with me. Thanks again. ❤

I struggle with having a conversation with these aspects of myself. I’ve tried with other healing modalities too of having a conversation with the person who hurt you for example or literally anything like that and I just can’t seem to imagine what the “other” would say, my mind goes blank. I feel like it’s because my mind knows this is not real and nothing comes through. Can anyone relate and give advice? Thanks

Respecting Carl Gustav Jung

I was so excited to watch then you said goals income and money. No thanks.

Ur amazing firstly….
Secondly can u do another vedio on shadow…
I get everything u said… just not able to get that push.. ya b not able to Face the inner demons I gues

I was unaware how into Shadow Work I was before knowing the term. I called it self-reflection/introspection.

I recently did some hypnotherapy to deal with rejection and the hypnotherapist took me back to when I was 4 when I experienced my earliest memory of rejection and I broke down and cried, I never felt so vulnerable and exposed to how I truly felt. I'm a full grown man and actually confronting these types of things are really important because of the shame we all feel from suppressing our deep anger.

Jung always held that if enough people do their shadow work, there is hope for humanity

Thank you Clark. I really enjoyed this and feel the warmth of your inviting tone. It makes me feel like this is possible for me and that I don't for a second have to worry about getting it perfect. Also, you are looking charming as ever! Much love

Thanks for this! DaveA

Wow so I thought this was a tutorial on shadow puppetry...

Jung, pronounced "Young," so remember... Be Jung at heart.

My child is risking of having security isues😮

Ive been doing this already while doing hopoponono meditation.. i go back to times i got hurt and bring it out feel it cry it out and look at whst it taught me , then it gets spun into more of a positive thing cause it taught me something and i release it.. idk its worked for me ..

Thank You 🙏🏽 Namasté & Ho’Oponopono ❤

why do you talk about everything from the perspective of financial wealth? Is it linked to you showing off that big gold watch? serious question.

Basically like soul retrieval

The ones that are STUDYING psychology actually know that even though freud is the most well known, he wasn't right about everything and not everything he told has a scientifically proven backbone, I really hate it when people talk about it as if they know everything. That's the only thing that kinda dissapointed me.

you cant break free from a self made prison using the same logic that put you there judgement and duality brings you into a dead end you cant see the light doing shadow work disolving the ego that shadow lives will set you free

What colour is u bugatti?

Can someone please help me, I can't feel anything when I do shadow work, I can't feel like I can't get deep with the work. Any tips please

Really nice video. The only thing that can be improved is the money talk. I believe most people who want to do shadow work care about person development and not about money.

I’ve injured my back and been recommended to do shadow work. Do you believe this can actually heal me ?

I dont have a visual imagination. I have a very hard tike trying to "imagine" my shadow and getting into a conversation with it, is there maybe some tips to help me out on how to talk to it/me? Do I just start a conversation with myself at random?

This is alright for a basic understanding of handling one's concerns before truly entering shadow work - as in you work on your base level habits. You're quoting books by major psychs and magicians here and not really getting into the depth of shadow work while wearing I see a chaos ring so I have to critique you a little harsher than I would others as an experienced magician.... What you're describing is vanilla work on yourself tact rather than actual shadow work. You don't even get into Jung or Wilber's work even at the bare essence of either piece. I legit lost my soul and most of my property attempting this type of work and am working on getting a visionary enterprise returned to me in this field so apologies for my harsh words but you need to work on your shadow work before you can claim to be an expert. You are an excellent communicator and actor, however. Cute.

Have you ever thought about instead of removing the red shadow whatever bits... integrating to convert to your highest potential? People always want to cut pieces offfff like they're cutting off fingers and toes, whole limbs, instead of repairing and integrating the healing of their shadowy natures. I wonder why there is that piece included in most shadow working language.

What if you want to be a previous version of yourself?
Is going back in time the same?

I think those recent situations are still manifestations of unresolved childhood situations. You attracted it into your life and it’s reflecting back to you things you need to heal.

can the shadow be considered as a subcategory of the Mind

shadow work is one of the most, if not, powerful practices that borders on psychotherapy but the one you can actually to some degree do on yourself.
it is sometimes ugly (realizing my own shortcomings, my agression, my narcissm) humbling (my own responsability for my pain and regrets) and it hurts for a while, if you do it properly.
but using pain and dark sides instead of having them use you, leads you to a better life, better circle (because you know the source of your needs) and to a better career because you know subconscious motivations and fail to blindly fall for them because it is "the thing you should do".
i am proud of anyone who has risen again ❤

That was powerful advice. I went ahead and did what you said, and man. I started balling my eyes out. It was really unexpected, and it felt really good. Thank you.

I've been hearing about shadow work for the last year or two and never really took the time to research it until I came to my own conclusion that I have "shadows" and this is the first video I watched. It makes sense and thanks for sharing the technique! Already seeing some light after a brief session with myself 👍

What if your shadow is a malignant person?

I always took the shadow side to be part of the spiritual path. Although it is good to highlight the shadow side as many people don't talk about that aspect of spirituality. Great video thanks.
