One of the most important things you can do on your spiritual path is learn the importance of shadow work.
And as terrifying as this may be, you don't need to get too super and heavy with this.
You don't need to try and heal extreme traumas or emotional wounds.
Shadow work can simply be being aware of an energetic block that you have and just learning to sit with it.
It can be as simple as feeling anxious about speaking up to someone who you do not like.
Being aware of your anxiety and learning to feel what experience and energy manifested this feeling.
Why shadow work is so important is that we tend to avoid things that scare us or make us feel uncomfortable, which we end up labelling as "bad energy".
But ultimately, energy is just energy. The only thing that changes is how we perceive it.
By not paying attention to energy that is blocked or what is causing it can lead to spiritual "bypassing" which is essentially ignoring it and hoping it will go away.
This thread is simply learning to acknowledge the blocks and knowing what you need to work on to achieve a more integrated and connected energy within your mind and body.
