3 Signs Your Shadow Is Healed By Melissa L. Watkins
Winning, achieving, growing, moving are all goals that we have. We humans are never satisfied. We are always looking for the next: house, car, partner, business, climbing the ladder to success. It is in our DNA to build. We are pre-programmed to always move forward whatever or circumstance. For some of us, it is the single most frustrating part of life because what we work for or want does not work out or work out at the magnitude of what we desire. Why? Because we are being held to the standard of our frequency, the shadow aspect that keeps us in FEAR. Fear in any form: threat, abandonment, resentment, powerlessness, unworthiness, jealousy, grief, lust, greed, and so forth.
The shadow aspect of us is that part of us that gets built over time through traumas and dramas. Working with hundreds of people and encountering my own shadow I can attest to the complexity of emotions that we experience that confound us because we are being blocked by our own emotional body, energetic body, mental and physical bodies: the make up of who we are.
Subtle is not slow or misleading. It is happening on an energetic level that may not be recognized by the conscious mind. Subtle means happening on a level that we may not fully be cognizant of but nonetheless the changes are being made. Also, we may not fully recognize what is happening because we have never experienced this kind of emotional response or lightness and until we are in situations that would trigger us-and it does not happen-can we realize the shift that we have made.
Our energetic body is often referred to as our subtle body because for the majority of us (humans) we do not feel it, understand it, or even know it exists within us and our make up: mental, emotional, physical, and energetic. But it is the aspect of us that is the largest as it reaches and merges with other energy fields of people, plants, things, areas, and everything around us helping us to navigate the world around us. Informing us energetically whether something or someone is good or bad, keeping us safe.
When you are working on the shadow aspects of yourself, you are addressing the negative aspects that have been locked in within all the parts or bodies of your make up. Digging up the shadow aspects is hard, however some of the traumas and dramas are easily identifiable: physical and verbal abuse, etc. While others forms of your shadow aspects are the subtle: anger and resentment, jealousy, threat manifesting as anxiety, would’ve, could’ve, and should’ve, emotional abuse, etc.
Therefore addressing the subtle shadow aspects results in healing that can be subtle because it takes time to have the ‘aha’ moment of “oh, I don’t feel that way anymore” or “oh, I didn’t respond that way this time” so, it can go unnoticed until the circumstance occurs that previously would elicit the emotion: fear, anger, jealous, loss, danger, not good enough, etc.
Three ways you know you have healed:
• You are manifesting on a new level.
• You cannot be triggered like before.
• You are more peaceful, happier, motivated, and looking forward in a new way.
We want the BIG explosion, the GRAND gesture, some SIGN we can wear to exclaim to the world we are different! Unfortunately, what we get is softer, slower, and subtle as we move into our new energetic frequency one layer at a time. We, also are very rarely DONE…we came here to transform and for some of us we came with the big mission to heal generational patterns, so we must give ourselves compassion as we shift into God’s Grace.
