A few days ago I had a vision of you in meditation wearing hospital clothe of the same green color like this in a video. Humanity is like a patient, you are like a doctor, good doctor. I remember you once said that you could choose to become an obstetrician before you were born.

Hi John. I didn't realize how there was no support so of course I had back pain. Teal did a video re: back pain a while back in 2020. Thank you we love u. Follow teal at Twitter she's rocks social media semi. Also her book! 🌈💝👗💅🙏🎁💐🇮🇹👠 💖💖🌹

[@JonnyChaos]

Something really weird happened to me just after my awakening experience last year. I was doing breathwork because I was struggling with alcohol withdrawal which triggered a spiritual awakening experience. I had a vision that changed my life and have been following and invested in spirutuallity ever since. The day after the experience though I did breathwork again and when I went to sleep I had these TERRIFYING lucid dreams. They were so real, more than anything i've had before and i've had them many times before. There was this point though where I felt like I was looking though a hole into some other dimension like I was in the Matrix being woke up. I looked up through the hole and what looked like maybe 3 nurses were looking at me, stood over me and one of them was saying, 'he looks really nervous'. It was so freaky. I felt like I was a different person and it was like I was in another world, and I was alseep in that world being spoke to in this world, from another dimension. Can't really explain it, really scary though. Almost gave up the breathwork there and then but I decided to stick to it, and luckily it didn't happen again.

[@JohnSmith-wp7vf]

@@JonnyChaos Thank you for your post. I also have such experiences where I am scared and I welcome them because it is opportunity to decrease those fears. Recently the beings of light were doing some healing on me, they appeared in human form only they didn't had eye pupils, but stream of white light at the place if eye pupils. I mean who wouldnt be scared at such sight, but that fear is in me, light beings are not the cause of it, they help with it instead, they trigger it and heal it. Btw. according to hindu story whole universe is a projection of sleeping Vishnu - a lotus flower with God Brahma in it grew out of sleeping Vishnu navel. As he watches the show of his dream he learns and evolves. The dream is only as real as it has his function, otherwise is illusion, and the one who dreams is much more real than the dream. We are eternal bliss and our suffering and fear is temporary and has its purpose of growing the lotus flower. Vana is a life breath, desire, projection of god, infinite forms, seeing, hearing, feeling, they are all empty, transitory phenomena; Nirvana is returning to the source, still blissful central point.

[@susanyang5870]

I do shadow work by journaling, especially about things that upset me. The biggest success of my shadow work is self love. I’ve never truly loved myself. Looking back on my life, I see how I kept making the same mistakes, running in circles, hating myself for it, yet not knowing how to get out of it. The conclusion I came to was: “I was too damaged to heal.” However, shadow work has dug out the truth for me. The truth is: “I do not love myself unconditionally.” Abusive words in my mind is a driving force behind all of my unexplainable actions. So I come to a new conclusion: “Unless I love myself unconditionally, weird actions, weird things and weird people will keep happening in my life.” That’s how a lot of positive changes take place.

[@abzalhalaki8380]

After shadow work and 1year later have you experience a new attraction now no weird people?

Life is so beautifully strange. Fascinating how deeply buried someone's purpose can be. I wonder how many creative artists are working away in menial jobs believing they're not creative.

[@calebrodgers8774]

Even if they realize they are creative and want to become an artist, they are going to have to support themselves with a menial job. Most art, no matter how beautiful is not going to financially support someone through their life. Its heartbreaking and I hope this changes for future generations.

[@benk1307]

@@calebrodgers8774 We're already on it. We can totally make money with art, many already do. Ya gotta do shadow work first tho, cuz like Teal said we can learn to suppress creativity in childhood and that's the real problem. We like to use the system as a scapegoat; another benefit of shadow work is eventually beginning to realize that you can do anything. Our fullest potential is hidden in these shadows and in ourselves

[@calebrodgers8774]

@@benk1307 Many never make careers out of it is my point because its hardly sustainable. Most artists are not consistent and may only make art for a few years at a time. You have to understand that to make a career out of art you also have to be an entrepreneur and that's something many artists are not in touch with and for good reason. "Business" sucks the beauty and soul right out you and tends to contradict your whole purpose, which is to create beauty.

[@benk1307]

@@calebrodgers8774 I do understand you need entrepreneurial skills, and I know many artists who possess these.

I did one yesterday. I had a really heavy feeling in the centre of my heart while meditating and decided to do shadow work. It took me back to my childhood when my sister told me I wasn't my mum and dad's daughter, but hers. But she and the guy she was with didn't explain anything further. That's when I started feeling a strong distrust like I was so confused whom to believe that everyone is hiding something and not telling me the truth. I was angry and upset and confused and frustrated. So my old self told me to tell her that she deserves to know the truth and I did say that. And I feel lighter afterwards.❤️ Thank you Teal, you save me ❤️

Awareness is both the key and the prize. Total game changer, awareness was way more then I even imagined it could ever be, showed me way more than I thought was possible.

[@sirguntas]

Once again a great episode. Based on how Teal explains our subconscious being our true vibrating self and point of attraction, there's a number that's associated to our vibrational self; our point of attraction. From what I gather in this video, Numerology is another tool to work in concert with the shadow work tool. Everyone has a set of divine numbers that defines them. In Numerology, your Inner person is the equivalent of your subconscious. There is who we are when we meet someone (outer person) and then there is who really are, ACTUALLY (inner person). Shadow work DOES take you out of victim mode as you learn about who you are, because you learn of capabilities you've always had that were never revealed to you to cultivate them for your benefit.

[@nobody-n9s]

Thank you teal! This gives me the push to finally try shadow work after avoiding it for a long time

[@azcactusflower1]

I was "initiated" into shadow work with Debbie Ford's book "The Dark Side of the Light Chasers: Reclaiming Your Power" plus I attended her Shadow Process in 2006 which was quite life-changing. When you can separate the true YOU from reality, you will know you're whole and complete. WHY you do a thing is more important than the thing you are actually doing

[@quantumdimension6186]

Hi eu euu--> Yesterday I made a video of how important is the self-esteem in relation to the law of attraction. There I explain (in a very simple way) the importance of our thoughts, feelings, limiting believes, and our shadows because all these IDEAS (after all, all Universe is Mind and Ideas) are the fuel-energy (all in Universe is energy and frequency) that impulse our attention/intention to manifest, therefore, according to the content of our subconscious mind (thoughts, feelings, limiting believes, shadows), some of them will arise and interfere in the process of manifesting. Take a look at my video. I hope it will help you. I follow Teal's teachings, she is very wise. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6jKnKKZnZ6ef7M Namaste.

[@meiko431]

@Soheyl Kian Hey i did and still there are tons of questions))))

[@adityawahyuningtyas]

@@adolpheemmanuelle434 hi :) uhm I may have an opinion about this. The concept of letting go here has more to do with surrendering to the Universe and savor what we already have, to shift the sense of lack by appreciating what we have. For example: when you want to 'manifest' a bigger house, then you should reframe it into a more appreciative view. Instead of saying, I want a bigger house, say I am thankful for the house I am in now as I feel safe here until I can move to a bigger house. As for feeling, thoughts, and emotions, we should be able to befriend them. To sit with them and try to understand what they're trying to tell us. Then and only then can these emotions be freed. 💛💫

[@kearaallbee5644]

CMP - Vegan! Hi there 👋. Speaking from experience.. may I offer better suggestion? Intermittent fasting is an answer to many weight/food related issues and even disorders. The act of focusing and disciplining when we eat has so much to offer for cognitive benefit and body diet related-health. Many have cured diabetic conditions with IF! It’s truly been miracle for myself and many others! Thank you 🙏

[@cmp-vegan5136]

Pants enFuego I will try ... but every time I try something I stop because I feel insecure ... I want to lose weight to be accepted and fit into a pattern that I image is better than who I am ... we need to work with our reasons and emotions first, I think! I strongly believe that we always get what we want, we just don't know what sometimes because we are not whole yet!

[@sirguntas]

Also, this is a GREAT PREP VIDEO for the upcoming planetary events. Jupiter and Saturn will be in retrograde then back into forward motion later this year. Those who are into astrology knows all the planets and heavenly bodies affects us here on earth. Why? because 1) Matter is an expression of consciousness, 2) everything in the universe is in the Earth. Everything in the Earth is in us. Our body is a product of the Earth, yet our essence is a product of the Universal Consciousness(God). The vibrations of the planets and other cosmic bodies affects us like the Moon causes the Earth's ocean currents. Saturn represents our dark soul of night. So our denied shadows will be realized; our powerlessness will be exposed to the light of consciousness. Again, great episode, Teal.

[@danielbarrera8391]

Well, the idea that this is a mirror Universe is just really starting to take hold on me. Just a while ago, I had to ask my grandma about her childhood but before that she remarked that her association to men was, "They're out to hurt me and my children.". So, her response of course - like most of us with these pains - is to push people away altogether and live for something else... like food. She even admitted herself when I remarked, "But that's our response to the trauma is to just want to enjoy food since our belief is that everything else is pain anyway so 'who cares'.". Thing is, that isn't actually resolving the feelings. Anyway, what stood out to me was when she talked about childhood and!! She said, her father actually abused and neglected her. But! He especially hurt her other siblings physically! So there it is.. the trauma really does live on and reflect in our outer experiences! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. edit: Meant to say that her first marriage was a reflection of that wound in childhood where her father was physically abusive to her and her siblings. She feels as if she has to 'protect' herself and 'others'. Because she mentioned her reason for divorce was that her husband was abusive to her and her children.

[@danielbarrera8391]

The fact that I don't get likes for the more serious things I say says a lot to me about where a lot of people are in their mind - and I find this unsettling. Is it that the truth of the idea that people use food to cope with living is too much to bear for a lot of people? Or is it the idea that if we are getting a reflection of our thoughts, it means our environment is a reflection that we are not actually victims, but are victimizing ourselves because our traumas are controlling our behavior? When I see people praise Teal for these videos or suggest it helps them in some way? I question the truth of that. It sounds like some people are just coping with spiritual information and not actually getting the benefit of what the teaching is aiming for. Maybe I'm just projecting though.

Thank you Teal 🙏 This helped me realize that I’ve been doing lot of shadow work for many years. I just didn’t know that it was called “shadow work”. Shadow work is my focal point every day. I’ve had to work incredibly hard to overcome all the trauma from 38 years of abuse, stemming from different people in my life...mainly family. My relationship with my mom isn’t good right now. She’s brainwashed by Trump and his propaganda and flat out doesn’t understand the real world. Nothing I say or do gets thru to her. She believes that “neither side (Republican or Democrat) actually knows the truth,” when never has it been more evident how much of a monster that man is, which is just disheartening for her to continue to double down. Things she doesn’t understand she defends herself by saying “I don’t want to talk politics”. Sorry to rant. It’s just that this is the most difficult issue for me to work on right now and I’m all out of hope.

[@allanamae5232]

Such an amazing explanation of what shadow work is and the benefits of it!! I've seen all of these benefits myself doing parts work.

[@TheDreamDetective888]

I'm not sure how, but I've experienced "visions" which have revealed roots of my behavior. Like I once flipped out on someone who told me to shutup, but as I started to freak, I had a vision of my aunt telling me to shut up when I was 5. Little me was angry and hurt but powerless to answer. So I clenched my little fists and buried the experience in my body... and 20 years later was reenacting it.

[@sasana987]

QUESTION: How do you manifest more time? I feel like I dont have time for anything. All the assignments and deadlines and things I need to do shadow work on make me feel like I dont have time.

[@silje8711]

Teal has a frequency painting named "the time wielder" that might help.

[@naomihennes1231]

This would be an interesting topic. I feel this way often, and I too get absorbed in my experience of time or lack there of. How can we be more conscious of our personal feelings, when interacting with a partner who is in the midst of their shadow work "time- line" as well? This new video partners well with you compatibility and soul mate videos because sometimes experiencing ourselves, our passion, and our deepest desires, also makes us aware of the aspects, entities, and traumas that evolve as we evolve...and they don't just go away with a flick. Depression reminds me to be with myself, and shadow work has allowed me to communicate on many levels. What happens to each partner when someone "detaches" because of shadow work initiations? These workings are usually co-created, but also divergent of "individualized" energies. Have we a chance at real communication, if words are not the main channels for communication?

[@13KumikoYui29]

In one of her videos Teal explains priorities: 1. Important and urgent 2. important, but not urgent 3. urgent, but not important 4. not important, not urgent. With shadow work you can find out what really is important to you in your life. You can learn to put yourself first, set boundaries, and you can learn what "duties" contribute to your well-being. Then you pull out this priority list and weigh the things you "have to" do. (She also has a video about "Have to".) The way I see this: you only have 24 hours a day. I learnt it the hard way that one shouldn't take time away from sleep or daily self-care. So you should invest your energy and time into things that matter, things that make your life better. Don't carry and don't accept any unnecessary responsibilities and don't make responsibilites out of simple things. It's not the time you can change, but the amount and quality of your tasks. I am going through a similar situation, so I hope it helps you!

[@Miss_Vee993]

Even though this path is hard....it is totally worth it! 👌🏻

[@KirraMini]

Yess thank you Teal 😊✨ soo needed rn

[@dianaarhipova8548]

I thought I knew a lot about shadow work because I practice it nearly every day. But now I'm going to take it to the next level and question things I thought I really like.

[@brightbeatrice112]

Shadow work is so necessary! 😃✨We can be completely broken! Unless we do the work we may not be able to heal our own negative thoughts, feelings and beliefs.😢😭 We are not always aware of our own grief, anger, fear, shame, apathy ect. It is EMPOWERING! to do shadow work.💪🏼💪🏾 I do mine through practicing stream of consciousness journaling (free-style writing). 📔 Manifesting more abundance in my life because I am healing! 💸Congratulations everyone for doing the inner work! 🙌🙌 Thanks Teal😘

[@estefanyrodz]

Live for the humorous imitations through out your videos, keep going at it. It is humorous and it helps us claim a different perception of our beliefs.

[@superlady2960]

Thank you Teal

[@carlykit2975]

I won't hate a shadow work online course. 🤗. I like structure else I just can never get started.

[@camogrrl]

Carly Kit you might need to ficus on building skills you don’t have= rolling over and giving up coz ‘I can’t do it” is making an excuse for not trying to imporove at all. It’s like saying “I call my kid fat all the time but I can’t stop becuse I’m not good at keeping silent”

[@carlykit2975]

@@camogrrl Your example is literally wild and totally unrelated but I get you and will take your advice into consideration.

[@kayleighjones8410]

I am mind blown ! Eager and Excited 😁 I've watched these videos before but could not clearly and truly understand . I have come a long way since then and can say now I have a greater understanding and am more aware . Now ... for the ride baby 😂😅🙏 Thank you Teal , your work is needed in this world 🌎 ❤ x

I am/was transgender, and using shadow work has helped me find the source of my gender dysphoria and to ultimately heal it bit by bit. I have a lot of trauma in my past that caused me to dissociate and disconnect from my body and sex already in childhood. My mind is still very fragmented though, and there are still aspects of my sex that I'm subconsciously rejecting. So I'm gonna try my hand at some more shadow work to see if it'll help me integrate some more. Because for the past 5 years (since I started that integration process) I've been kinda stuck in a limbo where I feel pulled in two opposing directions, towards my female biology and away from it at the same time. Kinda of a half-baked state. It's been kinda difficult. But I wasn't ready to get back into processing that again because at one point it went wrong. When I was trying to connect with my natural sex hormones, it backlashed. Something deep within me resisted hard, and ever since then I've instead rejected this aspect of my sex even harder than I did before. I think maybe I was rushing it and being too impatient. Now I'm finally at the right kinda mental state to tackle that again though. I'm looking forward to fully connecting with my sex one day, instead of fearing what negative consequences that could cause, like regretting my many years of taking testosterone. I don't fear that anymore. Because it would be worse to stay stuck in this limbo forever, than to experience regret and grief over something that I can ultimately fix (albeit not easily) and then be at peace. Shadow work for me tends to be really intense. Because I have so much unprocessed trauma, childhood sexual assault, and the alters my mind created to protect me from it that keep blocking my path to awareness. I've integrated with all of my fully developed alters by now, but there are lots of fragment alters deeper down in my subconscious that act very threatened when I go in there and poke around. So it's kinda like fighting a boss for every piece of information I want to unlock. But despite that being quite a scary journey, it's almost always a very rewarding and grounding experience that makes me feel more connected to myself. And it has given me a lot of great long term effects.

[@sp5457]

I have started doing this and I have never been this happy with myself

[@johncox2912]

So after learning about fragmentation and doing shadow work, I am beginning to see some subtle results that i honestly did not expect. I had a negative thought today, but instead of RESISTING IT and pushing it away, I allowed it. The negative thought was tied into some stuff I have done with shadow work, so it wasn't new. I was able to look at the negative thought for what it was, allow it to just be without fighting it, and I could see how that negative thought was a part of me. Because of that, I was able to move along. Because I allowed the thought and recognized the truth and validity of it, I was able to carry on without fighting it or trying to change it. I was able to move on to what i wanted instead of dwelling in resistance to myself. This is subtle but very important thing. I felt whole instead of chopped up into one side vs another side. The negative thought IS me or IS a part of me, and because I can recognize that, it NO LONGER CONTROLS ME (or rather, the negative thoughts in this particular situation no longer controls me). I am sure I have MORE shadow work to do, and I will GLADLY do it. BUT I cam beginning to see results. Thank you, Miss Swan. MY respect to you and your work.

So much love and appreciation for you! 💛

I love you teal thank you so much for this!

[@GrahamNificent]

Going through a really big shadow purge right now. It's so hard but so rewarding. Shadow work is going to save this world.

[@sarebear5207]

Thank you Teal. God bless. 😊 I wish you all the success you deserve. I have bought a bunch of your products and am loving your frequency artwork I have it all through my 😄😄 just gorgeous! But I don't like the new heavy bass music at the end of your videos

[@EricaJoyArts]

Love your videos! Thank you Teal!❤

[@Copycat491]

love your tone of voice in this one. And the point you made about 'things happening to us' is something I always felt! Like I have no control on what's going on. It's so strange! I didn't know shadow integration would help with that!

[@xoxchunaxox]

So attuned!! I was literally looking for other ways to do shadow work yesterday! Thanks for clarifying more benefits!! 💙

[@LevantineDictionary]

Teal please can you make a video about stubbornness. I have been told many times that I am stubborn and only want to do what I want to do even though I do consider myself flexible and open minded regarding some things but when it comes to certain things I just want what I want. I personally consider that self trust and self confidence of what I want or prefer but because it doesn’t align with what others want they consider me as a stubborn person. Please consider sharing your knowledge on this topic ❤

[@danielbarrera8391]

Oh. But My GOD. I hope people/society will realize that trauma is not so simple as physical traumas or sexual abuse. Divorce is a trauma all by itself and its something I never even recognized in my younger years as traumatic. You just think because things seem 'normal' and you seem to feel fine, that it wasn't really traumatic... But there are far more traumas and we don't know we've made behavioral adaptations in response to them. Like adapting to abandonment with being isolate/secluded and not realizing you're pushing people away... because its subconscious. Or rather there is a subconscious process occurring that wants to keep you safe from that pain.

[@luvyou-baby]

2:00 this sounds like what I went threw while on magic mushrooms. Tho on it, the healing happens really fast but it’s very unpleasant cuz u suddenly realize things you have done or become

[@pandascreationstation]

Wow, this is insanely interesting. The thing about losing weight for example. It even shocked me for a second... but then I remembered that I have been discussing it and pondering about it about it with friends before... just didn't realize it until put out like this. I love your videos; thanks so much for sharing all this information with us!

[@lindajikia4926]

Thank you so much for such an interesting video, Teal

[@TonyViper]

yay another saturday and another Teal Swan vid!

[@galegreyson4196]

One of the best videos you’ve done. Thank you for this. I have your book on Shadow Work; frankly, I’ve been afraid to dive into it. I feel more ready to read it now. 💛

[@LeYoIdBeHe]

Thank you.. Recently diving into shadow work, has given me a lot to think about.

[@itigupta449]

Hi Teal, I came across your videos and books and I'm in love with it. They are absolutely healing. You are a perfect example of someone who is truly dedicated to uplift others despite the personal pain. I have one suggestion, please do video on bullies, their mentality and how to deal with it ( also if we have faced bullying in childhood or teenage) . Would love to know your insights on that. Much love and light to you ❤❤❤

[@mandolaa]

I'm beyond grateful I found out your channel!!

[@ash_meadows]

This was so helpful. I love what you do! Im so grateful for your talent and work. What you offer is a gift to humanity. I love how clear and thorough your messages are and how you have pieced together all these seemingly complex and often confusing experiences and concepts and made them easy to understand. 🙏 I have learned so much life giving and validating info.

[@tomasr64]

My experience with shadow work is now days is that as expression my authentic self is that there is very little filtering in my language and subjects (got to be a little careful) with other people.

[@thexpaxtwo6992]

ì have feared shadow work. my conscious life began at 6 1/2, before which i was in 'dissociative amnesia' with, i am told a bad dad. have absolutely no recall of him, him even existing. whatever i went thru then am in no rush to find out, it may freak me out. as it was at 6 1/2 the torture and abuse I found was well under way, giving me diagnosed ptsd and panic attacks from sis' torture. this is Teal's fourth shadow work vid, and the most enticing. please 'pray' for me that ì can do this shadow work, and not lose my mind. *hearts* Edit: this is making me tear and ì do not want to know why... Edit: i am the xpax, on the wrong email account.
