Imagine your subconscious and unconscious like a dark, shadowed stream. This is the inner darkness, the shadow aspects of our self that we are not consciously aware of, running our life from the background as we proceed on autopilot.
Yet when the sun beams down on the stream, the unknown doesn’t seem so scary anymore, we can see with clarity what lies below.
When we begin to shine our light of awareness on the darkness within us we begin to see and understand its purpose. The more light, the more love, the more clarity we have as to why we chose the experiences that we did. Why we chose to believe what we did and all that resulted from that.
At this point we see the darkness, the shadow, was just the absence of light, of awareness, of unconditional love. The darkness is simply fear, and fear is an illusion, a story, nothing.
Yet if it wasn’t for this darkness, we wouldn’t seek for something better, it is our greatest ally in discovery of our inner light. Helping us come home to who we really are. Honing us, fine-tuning us, refining us.
As we investigate our depths with openness, curiosity and compassion we begin to discover our traumas, hurts and all that we ran from begins to transform.
This alchemical process is a change in perspective. Our greatest challenges become our greatest strengths. Our fearful beliefs dissipate leaving us in greater and greater levels of inner peace.
We turn our heavy burdens into lightness. Conditioning into freedom. Lead into gold.
💛
