Your Shadow Self will be on your side when you accept it.
It is just the part you’ve casted away, repressed, suppressed, judged, feared, hated for so long.
So it said, “Fuck you, I’m going to join forces elsewhere and be against you, terrify you reminding you I’m here and you can’t get rid of me no matter how hard you try.”
It’s all on perspective.
At first I was afraid of mine, shameful, judgey, I wanted to kill it…but really my Ego would be the one going through deaths LOL.
The deeper I did shadow work and healing work, I was able to learn to greet my Shadow with more awareness and eventually more love and acceptance. I went from visualizing me running away or fighting it, to then hugging it in times of adversity within myself.
Shadow calms down when it feels accepted and loved by you. It doesn’t feel the need to act out (without your permission). It comes to your support and protects you against the negative energies outside of you. It stands with your Higher Self proudly as a team, caring for you, the Ego on this earthly plane.
