I've always known that I genuinely have so many layers to my personality. Most of us have probably experienced this, where we are a different person for the corporate or professional world than we are in the social world. And whether you think that’s you being fake or not, the reality is people are not just black or white and able to be placed into one labeled category of being. We have so many dynamics as humans but most of all as spiritual beings.
Yes, each experience in life calls out to the portion within us that is needed to be shared at that time but everything and everyone should not receive all aspects of us. There are many pieces to encompass who we all authentically are. But, to know and accept all pieces of you is important for you to flourish and share your fullness. This is what it means to be whole. This is really what it means to be perfect. Although to the human eye we cannot achieve perfection, thru the spiritual eye, we actually are already that! When you learn to embrace all parts of yourself, even the not so great traits, you learn how to use each version of you to your advantage. Whether it’s using your light to inspire someone or using your darkness to take up for yourself, all authentic aspects of you are needed on your journey.
It’s important to make sure tho that you’re not hiding behind false images of yourself that were built by fears & desires to fit in to society. Making sure that you are still showing up as you no matter which version of you that is.
A big reason healing can be difficult is because society taught us it’s not okay to accept the ill will, immoral, negative traits about ourselves. You have to still account for the parts of yourself that you don’t like or you feel are weak, wrong or embarrassing. Not accepting our so called bad traits is what causes a lot of mental and emotional imbalances. If you ever wanted to know what it really means to be whole, this is it. To be aware of all of our traits and love and accept them all, even if they’re not acceptable is society. Even if you find difficulty with them being right or wrong, bringing acceptance to them will open you up to see if these traits are naturally you OR if they come from an imbedded trauma, memory, program.
Integration of all parts of you gives yourself the green light to naturally be instead of molding how you want to be based on what’s “right or wrong” in society. So don't be afraid to consider all parts of yourself because they all need to be accepted, nurtured and brought to your everyday existence!
Who is my shadow self:
Snappy and reactive when my way of thinking or being isn’t understood
Judging of others’ ineffectiveness, lack of knowledge or care for self/knowledge
Controlling to be like me
Feel guilty for setting boundaries
Spiteful when done injustice or someone is able to “get over it” before me
Use physical tactics (like breaking/throwing things) when I feel out of control of the conflict (only if an intense conflict)
Lazy and depressive if frequently exposed to stagnant energy
Can get lost in relationships when letting their energy absorb and overpower my rituals
