There are many types of shadow work. Here are the following:
Inner child work
Auditing
Healing the emotional body
Peeling away the onion
Reasoning
Contrast
Finding your negative imprint
Finding out the core reason
Healing the mental body
Healing depression
And so much more...There's a different shadow method/technic for every trauma, mental, and emotional pain. For some it works, for others that don't. For most of you, you know this is exactly what I talk about the most, is healing. Healing is a big part of recovery. But what is healing? Healing is not fixing what's broken or what's wrong with you-because the truth is..nothing is wrong with you! Ok?!? Everything is RIGHT with you, you always act upon what you think is best, you do stuff in your own time, learn at your own speed and you heal as fast as your willing to or set your mind to. Healing isn't about fixing what's broken, it's treating a deep wound that you never realized, or that you did realize it but you ignored it by saying "it's ok, it doesn't matter" or "its ok, it's only temporary". Shadow work is a never ending process of learning, making the unconscious conscious, and realizing your not dark, you where not born or left in the dark- you are LIGHT, you are made out of light and the reason why you see the light when you die and when your born is because that's what you really are beyond this body. You are not a body that had a soul, you are a soul that has a body taking on a human experience. This, I've always lived by. It's much easier to think we are a soul then just a body ( in my opinion anyway) we are so much more then that. We are human, we make mistakes, we learn, we grow, we have feelings, we get hurt, we fall down, sometimes we get stuck in a hole, sometimes it takes a few minutes to get out, others take years. But when you do finally get out of that dark hole, you see the light of day. "You can't know black until you've known white" as spiritual teachers always say. This is true unless your being technical and tell me they're just 2 shades of colors. Correction, they are 2 shades of polar opposite found in the Yin and Yang explaining how polarity and contrast go together hand in hand.
