What does shadow work actually mean — and can spirit animals really guide the way?
In this episode, we dive deep into the meaning of shadow work, why it’s a powerful tool for spiritual growth, and how spirit animals can become intuitive allies on your path to healing.
Shadow Work Definition
What It Is: The process of exploring the unconscious or hidden aspects of yourself — often referred to as the “shadow.”
Why It Matters: To bring awareness to repressed emotions, limiting beliefs, and hidden patterns so they can be acknowledged, understood, and integrated into your whole self.
How You Do It:
- Self-Reflection: Recognizing emotional triggers and repeated behavioral patterns.
- Energy Work or Therapy: Engaging in deep inner healing with guidance from therapist or qualified spiritual practitioner.
- Spirit Animal Guidance: Calling in specific spirit animals to help illuminate what’s been hidden, offer medicine, and support transformation.
