Shadowork Stories

Long ago, a story was told and since then has echoed in the hearts and minds of many. The story goes a little something like this... "One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all. One is evil. It is anger, envy, jealously, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed." There is a wolf within us all. It is up to us who we decide to let win. Shall it be the wolf who hides in the shadows, or the wolf who dwells in the light? In order to truly decide, we must face our fears and acknowledge that both wolves are a part of us. Just as good is a part of who we are, bad is as well. Therefore we must come face to face with the part of ourselves that hides in the shadows in order to prosper into the light. This is closure, the shadow work journey. Join me, as I come face to face with my own wolf that hides in the shadows. Through my journey into the light I hope you too find inspiration to embark on your own.
