Heading into the hurtful and painful parts of your past is pretty nerve-wracking. It's a tough place to spend time. In fact, most of us just avoid this place altogether. Despite that, it's one of the greatest sources of true wisdom.
Why?
Because taking the time to acknowledge the painful events that have happened in your life is one of the only ways to truly start a process that your heart and soul has been requesting for a long time.
When you dive into the shadows with the intention of bringing light and healing to your life, you eventually start the healing process that can literally defrost you from the inside out.
How incredible would that be? How wonderful would it be to eventually heal the holes in your soul which have been eating at you whether you know it or not for years on end?
But how?
The best way to get to the shadows is to dive safely into a meditation with the intention of going to that place. Breathe. Relax. Naturally your thoughts and emotions will start to swirl around you when you go to the places that hurt. Let them. Watch them flow. Continue to breathe away.
The skill that you are looking to develop here is to get close enough to the emotions of this dark place without becoming completely overwhelmed by them. When you can experience the moment without taking yourself out of commission you know that you are in the right spot.
Going into the shadows takes a whole lot of work and practice, but the journey in itself is worth it. It's worth it because if you do it right, you can start to feel painful events and the emotions that surround those events release from your life. You can start to heal. You can start to breathe again.
The secondary benefit of this practice is that you truly root yourself back in the present moment because you have compassionately taken care of your past.
Take a dive into doing shadow work. See what happens? It might be one of the greatest journeys of your life. And hell, you could really start to heal.
