Let's Get Funky

When I first started feeling the funkiness waking up inside of me, I got scared. My fear voice said, “Don’t let it come out. Keep it in. They’ll judge you. They won’t like you anymore and you’ll loose your friends.” I expressed this fear to each of them separately and they both assured me that they would love me no matter what I said or did.

It was as though their reassurance that they wouldn’t disown me if I expressed the darker parts of my being opened the flood gates which allowed the full expression of myself to be seen.

Mastering Shadow Work

The first thing I did last night when this insight came to me was resisted it-- How could **I**, this person who has done so much personal and spiritual development have this huge darkness as part of my being? I know better than to take advantage of others, so this must mean it's not true for me. Maybe for other people, but not **possibly** for me.

Then I sat with it some more, and let the truth of it wash over me.

With immense love, I am telling you from my heart: Your shadow does not degrade your existence.  Rather, your shadow confirms your human existence. You are a feeling human. The duality of nature, creation and destruction, are found within the human spirit. Without one, the other cannot be present.

We must embrace the Shadow to which our existence is intimately paired. For you are a divine, multidimensional being- why cut yourself short of living in all the depth of your experiences?
