"Shadow work is making the unconscious conscience, it's taking your darkest times and turning them into light, it is a form of mental alchemy"-Teal Swan

Shadow work is an art. It's bringing your darkest, most traumatic, triggers, bad memories and your subconscious self into light, in such a way you feel lighter, brighter and better about yourself and about everyone else. I've been (believe it or not) learning since I was 12 and been applying shadow work as needed. I've come across many people in this life who's in need or desperate need of shadow work. Not that there's anything wrong with them, but to make them realize what they're really doing and why. The reason why we do things is because there's something in our subconscious that causes us to do so. We deny, push back and hide our feelings so much, we hide from ourselves, our pain, our grief, our worries and even our greatest fears. We deny and hide it because we don't want to think about it and we don't want others to know. So it's much easier to deny it then to actually look at it for what we think it is.

Dear everyone who's reading this,
You've got it all wrong.
You don't win love by trying to get the to like, approve or accept you, you win love by being who you are and being thoughtful to the other persons wants and needs. To truly love isn't to expect them to do something for you, it's to expect nothing of them because you gain so much by being around them and just letting them be who they are without you judging them. Love isn't always flowers and chocolates, it's being there for them at their worst moments and saying "I understand why you feel that way, I know it's hard, but I'm here for you every step of the way" love can be so many things. But this book is an act out of love. It's helping you to unlock the part of you, that you never knew existed or could exist. This book is here for you every time I'm not. So please, read with care, pay attention, and know you are loved.
Thank you for listening and I hope these tricks work for you and you vibe with me. Enjoy.
