My therapist says truama wires into your nervous system. So when those feelings come up it's because your nervous systems remembers to react this way. So when you choose to react healthier and calmly with love. You are rewiring your nervous system. Basically reprogramming yourself

Thank you for being the only spiritual person on KZbin real enough to admit that we do shadow work to keep us from being a menace to others and not just to help ourselves. So many “empaths” and “healers” get stuck in this ego-centric mindset that they’re not also selfish and villains in someone’s story and it’s so hypocritical and gross. You’re not a real healer if you can’t see the damage you cause, too.

[@user-so9pi6mt5b]

Ever in the Rising so true!

[@lauren-cs5od]

@Ever in the Rising I’m an empath myself and I couldn’t agree with this more, I’ve met so many people who say they’re an empath yet can not grasp that we all have a dark side to us. Not even necessarily dark, but things that we can and want to change about ourselves for a much more positive outcome and energy for ourselves and others. Most empaths are empaths because we’ve got some deep shadow work to get into and we’ve experienced trauma ourselves to a big big degree which makes us massively empathetic. Not the case for everyone but it is for me. I wish more empaths were willing to open their eyes to see we’ve all made and had fuck ups yknow, we’ve all had certain traits that have caused pain for someone or themselves whether it’s isolation, jealousy, depression, narcissism, selfishness, being arrogant etc and if they can’t see that, are they really an empath in the first place?

[@lauren-cs5od]

@Moon Child no not everyone is, but there's too many assholes out there for me😂

[@thegoodwhichway]

funny cuz I've realized that the roots of a lot of awful anxiety and issues I've dealt with are to do with my fear of being a burden or bother to others.. I could and would go on but there are a lot of tangents of course.. I guess I need to delve deeper into this and pay attention to this video.. The term of villain strikes a cord with me though because I've been made a villain in somes' stories and to the court in a custody case when my ex was actually villainous but I digress.. I am aware of my own flaws and faults and ways I've discomforted or disregarded people but I've always tried to keep it real and become better. Which brings me to this video again and I need to find out what the healing trap is and what this lovely lady is revealing for us. thanks sorry for the ramble

I have been doing shadow work for the last 4 months. I took time off to make it happen. I feel that at this point I just don’t recognize myself anymore because of so much I have released. During those months I have had like 4 panic attacks thinking that I was truly dying but now I understand it was my old self really dying and now I’m a new person. I’m just struggling to recognize this new person that I became. I’m not sure what to do with my life at this point. I’m not sure what is my passion anymore. It’s really hard tbh to integrate it all. I’m happy that I have done this work. I struggle a lot talking to people as well. I feel like an ET and no one understands me. I just wish someone would hold my hand now and introduce me to my new life. I know I’m the one that needs to do that. But I’m not sure exactly where to go or what to do. Thank you for you video

Everything will start looking brighter real soon! What helped me was trusting in the process (surrendering) and creating habits of self-love (being kind, compassionate, accepting of myself etc). Sending lots of love and light your way 🤗

[@a.katherinesuetterlin3028]

Dear one, if your mother did this to you, then it is indeed likely she had it done to her. It is also very likely that she is a narcissist, as was the ones who did the same thing to her. Narcs don't like it when others express opinions different to their own. Especially if you challenge them on anything or call them out on their crap. Not all narcs are physically abusive like this, though. They're often more verbally abusive and manipulative. But all the same, I do hope you have managed to put actual geographic distance, let alone emotional distance, between you and your mother. You didn't deserve the treatment you got, and it sounds like you're wanting to do the work needed to break yourself free. Ask the angels, especially Michael, to guide you to the one who can assist you. I wish you peace and blessings, Sis. 😇🤗🙏

[@cphillips3500]

Some how I lead my own shadow healing today, I wrote some things down, one thing lead to another and I wrote pages trying to get to my shadows. Then I sat in meditation and went through each shadow trait and said out loud that I accept and love this part of me and visualised the integration of my shadow and the light shining on it. I kept going over and over some areas until I felt a release. It was great fun even though my heart was aching so much as I think that's where I keep my triggered energy trapped. So although it can be hard to face your shadows it can also be exciting because you literally feel a release of energy and the healing taking place. Then I just went about my day feeling lighter...but I still noticed my usual triggers but they were not so overwhelming, I just practiced love and acceptance to whatever was coming up for me at the time in my head. I think it's so cool to have found this video because I felt though I was being guided today to heal!

There is something called soul retrieval. It brings back parts of you that have been stuck in the past, whether it be in grief, hatred or the loss of something you deeply loved. It heals all the broken parts and returns it to your present self. I've done this a few days ago and whenever I go to recall something that used to make me cringe, anxious or upset, it no longer has that effect on me. It simply flows by me without leaving a trace of discomfort within me. Now it is much easier to tackle the things that used to cause so much discord.

I am currently reading “The Body Keeps The Score” by Bessel Van Der Kolk, which has triggered a lot of my childhood trauma. Causing me to re-visit this very informative video. I’m currently on my 4th time watching this in a row today (KZbin needs to add a replay feature lol). I thought I understood what ‘Shadow Work’ was a year ago. And have watched so many videos on ‘Shadow Work’ but have struggled to fully understand exactly what it is. I thank you so much for really explaining what ‘Shadow Work’ is. When these intense feelings arise from childhood trauma I literally want to curl up into a ball and hide. Or distract myself, and/or run away from the intense feelings. It’s like staring down a dark tunnel with no light in sight, that’s how it seems. Your video has helped me greatly. You have such a beautiful, calming spirit. I’m sending you an abundance of love, light and positive energy 💫✨🌸💞.

[@mandolaa4855]

During quarantine, I did a lot of shadow work by myself. I had an awakening and suppressed emotions and memories came to the surface. I haven't realized till this process, that I was living very limitedly and I had never actually fully accepted the bad aspects of myself. I was raised as the "good girl" and many aspects that weren't in alignment with this statement, I repressed them. For example I never expressed my anger, even in a healthy way. I used to swallow the things that bothered me, until a lot of things happened in my life and then booomm, a lot of anger!! After shadow work I learnt to accept fully myself🙏

After watching the video I went into a quick meditation. I pictured me speaking to the eight year old me. We were both in one room. The eight year old me was sitting on a chair and I asked her what she feels about herself. I watched myself start to say “I am too skinny, I am not pretty, I’m not like the other girls, I can’t do that, I’m not smart enough….and continues The eight year old me looked so upset. The only logical thing I felt to do at that moment was cry. And oh how I cried. I hugged the eight-year-old me while crying and held her so tight and told her that she is beautiful but she is worthy that she is loved that she is a goddess and that she can have anything she wants in this world. I looked in her eyes and I gave her a kiss on the forehead. My meditation was done I opened my eyes. I felt such a release after this. Tears are good sometimes

[@iNfliktionDubBass]

I have experienced many years of chronic dissociation, and honestly, those years of my life were absolute hell. But they have also given me more growth and self-knowledge than I could have imagined possible, and its only getting more and more profound. This transmission is for you and any other people experiencing chronic dissociation and who are also interested in shadow work. If something resonates with you, please enquire into the resonance. If something doesn't resonate with you, please ignore it. TRANSMISSION: Your shadow work has already begun, else you would not be experiencing dissociation - some old pain emerged from your shadow, and your mind reacted by going into dissociation in order to avoid consciously working through the pain. The dissociation is probably a mental habit learned during your childhood, when you may have experienced trauma but were not developed enough to consciously work through the pain. Your child self dissociated from the traumatic event, and at that moment the traumatic pain became part of your shadow. Now you are much more developed, so the old pain has emerged from your shadow in order for you to consciously work through it. However, the old mental habit of dissociation has also re-emerged, so you now have to work through that too. When we experience dissociation we often label the experience as negative. This means we are in resistance to the dissociation, which makes us suffer and prevents us from accessing the pain which is triggering the dissociation. *** The most important aspect of the journey through chronic dissociation is learning to see dissociation is your friend, which means we have shifted from the low frequency of 'resistance' to the high frequency of SURRENDER. The more you can see dissociation as your friend - the more you can surrender to it - the more you will be able to access the pain which is triggering the dissociation. This is your true shadow work: accessing the pain which your dissociation is attempting to hide from you. You don't need to hide from the pain anymore, because you are not a child. You are a developed, spiritually awakening adult, and everything you need to consciously work through your past pain is already within you. _____________________________________________________________________ So let me reassure you: your shadow work has already begun! That is the very reason why you are experiencing dissociation! Your most important step now is learning to see dissociation as your friend, and that may mean dropping the label 'DID' - any label which implies that dissociation is a problem and makes you inferior to certain other people, should be enquired into, until you ultimately see the labels as unhelpful and untrue. Once you see the labels as unhelpful and untrue, you will consiously be able to release them, and this will move you into the high frequency of surrender. Instead of labelling dissocation, you can just observe your dissociation. Perhaps set aside five minutes per day to just sit and allow yourself to notice what it's like to dissociate. Notice how completely distant the 'real world' seems, or how your body feels like it belongs to someone else. Notice the anxious thoughts that arise in response to the dissociation: "this shouldn't be happening" perhaps, or "I wish this wasn't happening" - allow these thoughts to be there in your consciousness. As you engage with this simple pracitce, you will be leaning into the high frequency of surrender. Even five minutes per day of surrendering to your dissociation will quickly change your relationship with it, and you may eventually come to see it as a friend. When you see it as a friend, you will become consious of the pain which you dissociated from all those years ago. As Heather said in the video, this new consciousness of the old pain can be accompanied by sensation that you are dying. The shadow work can be terrifying, but the rewards are worth the terror, and it is your cosmic destiny to consciously work through this pain - it is your cosmic destiny to immerse yourself into the shadow work. Dissociation is your friend, and it's existence in your consciousness is a sign that your shadow work has already begun. Much love, my fellow Shadow Warriors

I've been in and out of active addiction for 10years. Until March 18th with Aaron Doughtys weekend challenge. I've been clean since. I feel like I'm finally allowed/allowing myself to feel my true self. It's what I've always yearned for while getting clean. I went to alot of AA and NA meetings. I would unfortunately cling to things that older members would say. Like when ur new to shut ur mouth and listen. I had a spiritual connection deeply. I felt like I was channeling helpful personal experiences and things. While at the time I didn't realize how magnificent it was to be sharing in such a helpful passionate way. I always heard members say, I came here to get clean not be a good person. And those certain type of things didn't clique with me. I always wanted to be a good person and help others. I had been told I needed to wait 30days before I start getting into my shadow work. Which I felt inside no. Now is the time. Why would I prolong this process. If I had this desire, it was only mine to know. I just appreciate so much finding you and Aaron and other whom have stepped into their authenticity and continue to do so. I'm knee deep in my daddy wound these days. Allowing myself to fucking cry when I'm still rejected by my dad. I'm working on the courage to share my pain with him. I've written a letter. I am taking a boundaries workshop and it's helped me see a couple of things I'm going to tweak. Boundaries are needs. This has been profound. Thanks for your reassurance that I am transforming. It takes time. And energy. Awareness. I'm especially going through the whole feelings of frustration and calming down instead of yelly mom. Cuz that's the area I'm focusing on most. I didn't like a yelly mom. I started my period yesterday and I was just a big bawl baby. Everything. I haven't been this sensitive in years

Currently crying my eyes out while watching this video. I resonate with everything that you said. This year has been a bit of a challenge and I’ll admit I even fell off of my self growth and healing journey and let my inner “demons” get the best of me. Pushing me further down 😞 It feels like it became too much to bear, like I was scared to acknowledge that part of myself that so desperately needs to be freed. But, I’m finally beginning to try again and to FORGIVE myself for shutting down for a while. I’ve seen the light at the end of the tunnel before and I know that I WILL get there, as painful and scary and messy as it will be. I deserve to be freed from the mental strains and traumas I’ve suppressed. Old habits and patterns won’t work anymore. It’s time for a major rebirth. And I’m so ready.

This past year and a half have been difficult but also rewarding at the same time b/c I have seen the "miracles" as you might put it. I have been taking a year off doing shadow work. It was initiated by some trauma that happened with new friends. It was a situation that had happened multiple times in my life so I finally decided that it was time to dive deep b/c i had no desire for it to happen again. I had no idea of the work that would come from this. The hardships and pain there has been from figuring out why this traumatic situation kept happening to me. I have been able to find out why and it has been a blessing but also super hard at the same time. The rewards that will come from this work will be well worth it and I can't wait for the "lighter" side. I feel like it is coming sooner and honestly, I believe the "lighter" side that you refer to in your video is already starting to happen. Peace and blessings be with you Heather. Thank you for your wisdom you share with us.

i was on mushrooms and they showed me how light my body is without the extra baggage i carry. after that day i knew thats how humans are supposed to be. Light as a feather. not sluggish and dense. after i slept and woke up i felt myself heavy again and realized that i have a lot of work to do. i didnt know how to get started and the memory faded away over months until now when i watched this video. i remember that feeling of lightness and freedom. These past couple days i had nightmares when i usually just have vivid dreams. i woke up today scared cause in my dream i reenlisted in the army as a tech worker. I thought i was over it but this morning i said to my cousin "I need healing" then a couple hours later im on here watching this video. I'm starting shadow work TODAY. thank you for answering that prayer i sent out months ago.

The second she started greeting me a smile just grew across my face

[@Houndboundhellhound]

I just did some shadow work today, and now I feel way way better. I realized I'm easily manipulated by others, this girl was bringing me lots of pain and stealing my energies, but for some reason, I agreed to try a relationship out with her. Immediately after I was overcome with a sense of dread, knowing this was a mistake. Just told her not too long ago that I dont wanna be around her anymore, and that I just can't continue with this relationship. I still feel a little bad for hurting her feelings, But I know this will pass, and I will have so much more energy to use for the betterment of my being. This video is perfectly timed, and allowed me to see this situation in a more positive light. Much love Heather, thank you! Namaste🙏❤🧡💛💜💙💚

[@SoulGlowHealing]

Thanks for the reminder of not getting stuck in the shadow work and taking a step back to enjoy life and celebrate yourself. That's where I'm at right now

[@Unxpekted]

Wild, this is one of my favorite videos of yours. I am Syriac Orthodox and very much a believer in a Christ but everything you say absolutely resonates with me. Beautiful message, blessings.

" Pain is an Energy and it has been held within our body because we haven't allowed them to fully express . But pain is not an energy that stays in the body it is not natural to the body and it is not in residence within the body unless you give it a reason to be in residence !!!! LOVE THIS

[@JoeAwesome1]

Divine timing divine wisdom from a truly divine being of the light a guide to me setting me on this new journey of love for all life seen and unseen and your love shines so brightly my hearts mind starts to sing when Listening to your words of truth, thank you from within and ego too and I send blessings of compassion and kindness to be with and around you and all always 🙂💡🙏🌎🌞🌚✨💦❤️

[@TSebastian]

Many thanks! I still got a trauma from childhood when my parents divorced and I started to live with my mom and her new husband. I knew this since two years ago and now I am ready to cleanse my river of energy and imprison the ego.

[@kami4832]

Love you too💓It's an honour to connect with you. Gratitude to Heavens for you.Blessings to you. With Love& in Peace

[@debramidgaff9233]

Wow! Heather thank you ❤️ I’m 59 years and I have never really understood the concept of shadow work. I have occasionally had stuff come up within that I’ve tried to deal with but you have enabled me to actually understand the way to do this properly. My body has reacted by giving me painful illness and my habits have caused further sickness, I now understand why I developed them. I don’t care if it takes forever I’m going to start really working on me now and am looking forward to filling myself with lots more healing light 💡 thank you and may your path remain forever lit ❤️

[@AV.CGPODCAST]

[@shubhangishukla6112]

I love you and I appreciate you too Heather. Thank you for sharing your light with us. All of your love and care is deeply felt by each one of us.. Love and blessings.. ❤️🤗🙏🥰

[@savpal1757]

So weird that I was guided to this.. I took a gap year after I was outta here worst four years of high school, just had to process my feelings and my toxicity around me and lately have been feeling those emotions suddenly... it feels like my soul was calling me to take a gap year unknowingly knowing that it was a part of semi shadow work?? I’m not even halfway through this process, but now I’ll actually communicate to my consciousness! I want so badly to step into my power and to be in my true essence 🧡 send some light my way

[@ritahelll]

Gah this helped me so much. I was able to recognize that I’m a healer and want to help others and give them the unconditional love I have but when I get angry at people or hurt I’m constantly masking it and saying “if i was truly empathic i wouldn’t think thoughts of ill will toward people. Tryin to fight the shadow that is offering a healing hand. Thank you!

[@youarelife3437]

It is very important to have your conscious, higher self switched on when you do this or else it can get out of hand. Though your angels will certainly watch over you and I remember I did it without my higher self the first time, but it ended and I was back in control when my higher self stepped in. What's you higher self? It's you. A more conscious and sane version of you. Now I always keep this space in me, this higher self switched on, when doing shadow work.

[@dollarbillbrown405]

Your are like a breath of fresh air where are all the people like you? I want to start a petition so we can leave this planet a go some where and actually be happy. Names tie

[@Forest.faerie427]

The dissociative concepts... I didn’t even realize I was doing this to the extent that I also didn’t realize I had this ‘mental illness’. I’ve dissociated so hard for so long.. Been stuck in the emotions of depression and anxiety, that trying to come out of it is disorienting itself because it’s where I’ve become comfortable and have forgotten who I am outside of it. So now I am trying to piece her back together and be patient with myself. I catch glimpses now and again, mostly at night when I sit with sister moon. It’s an intense conscious effort affirming to myself positive, worthy, loving thoughts. Working on learning to feel emotions like joy, happiness and even love... they’re foreign. But~ I will prevail. I trust in myself and my divine purpose. I signed up for this, and am going to come out beaming my light from the heavens into the deep crevices it’s needed most here on earth. I love you Heather and thank you for being.🙏✨🐉

[@chynalover2351]

I am ABSOLUTELY going thru this transition and I am so blessed and grateful for it!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Sat Nam 🙏🏼

[@ussrname_9]

2020 was the one of the most important year in my life, The amount of shadow work I did on myself was just Mindblowing and I never knew I was carrying so much wounds within me, unexpected wounds were shown to me by the Divine. And yes, when we feel our wounds, we heal ourselves. Thank you.❤ Edit : Allow exceptions to be there, sometime, something doesn't makes sense in the present moment, let Is stay there, in DIVINE timing and order, it will get released. Namaste

[@leslymontero2233]

I have horrible anger issues and controlling issues I’ve been doing shadow work for a while now and this video is very informative thank you! I am not shameful of my negative emotions but I am not so happy with the hurt I cause others because of it. I hope to one day be more level headed.

[@thorahvega3667]

This video was amazing. Thank you from my heart to your. I needed to hear this tremendously. Thank you. Much love.

[@seekingknowledge4698]

We all applaud you for taking the time to make such an amazing, life changing video. Thank you beautiful!!!

[@musicgurl7]

I took a month off not because I realized what was going on but because I felt like I was dying and needed too. I’ve been beating myself up the way I’ve been going through my shadow work, it’s been messy and indecivsely raw. But you thank you me for doing my shadow work finally let me release that. I am doing good for others too I need to remember that.

[@she-wonders]

I'm just realizing now how many YT spiritual teachers I've been following and admiring were actually recommending toxic ways of accepting who we truly are by not addressing the shadow self which ironically enough is actually spiritually bypassing. They insist that we just snap our fingers, so to speak, into a new way of thinking because we're all one etc. To make matters worst, those of us who may've been naive may start to feel like failures when we don't just snap into the light and into positive thinking. So I appreciate this video because it shows that it's not just about thinking our way into a new way of life but that real challenges exist which we can work to overcome. Blessings.

[@a.katherinesuetterlin3028]

You just touched on a very important point, my friend. Soooo many self-proclaimed teachers have *not* done the inner work necessary to actually give instruction, but instead just say stuff what you just explained. For example, how do those who "teach" the abundance stuff think ppl are just going to up and manifest the extra money, good health, etc, without recommending that ppl start digging in and rooting out the traumas that prevent such higher frequencies from being reached? Doing shadow work -- or more simply put -- cutting out the crap that no longer serves you, is a must.

[@taecast1]

You are a literal angel. Your words and energy resonate with me so much. THANK YOU!

[@Rebecca.my.darling]

I love you so much Sister!!! You uplift us from the pure light inside you. Thank you infinitely for the activations and unconditional love 💜

[@legacyinthemaking5591]

This have been on my feed for weeks and I’m finally watching this, it was amazing!

[@nicolebuttigieg569]

This is my first time watching one of your videos and I just had to comment on how well you articulate yourself. It wasn’t a long drawn out explanation and u explained things so clearly. I love your vibe too. I can feel your heart thru the video. Thank u

[@gabriellebeaupre1588]

I think I'm doing some deep diving into the shadow right now. I started to reawake in May and thought I had did all the shadow work I had to do. But clearly not. It sucks right now and feels like it's never going to end. This is giving me hope and helping change my perspective on what is happening right now. This is a good thing. Thank you 💛🙏

[@clericknight7304]

I am starting to feel free of addictions and extremely light. I was heavy and tired of carrying the weight of others judgments and past mistakes but I’m starting to feel light !! And smiling just o smile shadow work is the only concept o needed to know about out of all the self help you hints ic been told and after all my inpatient visits. Nothing would help me but this concept and I can do it myself !

[@MegadoseTheOutsiderArtist]

Omg! So...i had been in a really dark place (literally lost in my shadow) and just got out of it Thursday and it's Sunday as I'm writing this. I never seen your channel before and this video popped up...perfect timing...syncronicity? Anyway...my mind is blown. I've subscribed. Your channel is absolutely beautifully serene and i can feel your light through the video. Wow! 🙏 Thank you💕

[@dylanhaynes9025]

It was absolutely synchronicity. Use it! Spread love. Especially when and where it us least deserved! Your situation will improve from there!!!

[@Rednilsunwood]

Bold statement here: the minute you survived the trauma, you healed it. The minute you felt it, you healed it. That’s your power.
