I have a confession to make. When I first began to connect with my spirituality, I was convinced that to be \u201cspiritual,\u201d I had to only embrace \u201clove and light.\u201d I didn\u2019t know at the time that I was essentially practicing spiritual bypassing, i.e., using spirituality to avoid or dismiss any complicated feelings I was having.<\/p>\n

Thanks to some great friends and mentors, I started to understand the important role that \u201cshadow work\u201d plays in personal growth, liberation, and understanding ourselves completely. If you\u2019re ready to dive into your own journey with shadow work, there are some prompts below to get you started.<\/p>\n

Kristin dives deep into shadow work in this comprehensive post, but in a nutshell, this practice is all about understanding the parts of ourselves that we usually push into the subconscious due to societal expectations and pressures. These can be our insecurities, our shame, or anything else that we suppress. <\/p>\n

Sometimes we can easily identify these things, and sometimes we\u2019re left wondering where to begin digging up our shadow self. The process of bringing these aspects of who we are to the surface is an effective way to free ourselves from the self-judgement that holds us back in life. These prompts can help you start:<\/p>\n
