The Light Beyond The Shadows: Inner Child Shadow Work Journal

Shadow work is... going on a journey of self-discovery. Where we shine the light on our shadows. The things we intentionally forget to survive... The reason our ego can take the steering wheel and run our lives... The childhood trauma we had to just "get through"... the things we told ourselves were okay that weren’t... The tears we weren't able to shed... the toxic behavior we use to cope... We give ourselves permission to feel even the most uncomfortable feelings. We forgive ourselves for the things we allowed... the things we hid... the things we intentionally forgot. We are gentle on the most broken parts of ourselves and love them regardless...

Let's go on this journey of self-discovery. Let's uncover all of the trauma so that it will no longer run our lives! This is our safe space. A place where we are allowed to JUST BE! to understand that it's okay to be selfish!!! it's okay to not give a f+@6... it's okay to be you! We are perfectly imperfect! The Good... The Bad... The Ugly and The Beautiful!!

Everything we've gone through has helped us to become who we are! A lot of things were necessary for our life's purpose. Now that we've gone through and gotten through... it's time to deal and heal! We got this!

It's going to be uncomfortable; it's going to hurt; it's not going to be pleasant... but the freedom on the other side of the pain is liberating. to finally understand or remember why we react certain ways or do certain things to love on that version of us and sit in whatever feelings come up. Get in touch with your inner child and have conversations for you. I always say if you shine the lights on the shadows they disappear.

Take your time. Honor yourself... Honor your feelings... give yourself permission to fully experience the journey. Be honest with yourself! Forgive yourself! Love yourself! Forgive others! Understand that everyone is doing the best that they can with what they have, what they lost, what they were taught, and what they've experienced... think about your biggest secret or regret.... imagine what others are hiding...

LEAD WITH LOVE but START WITH YOU!

I'm creating this journal because I didn't have one when I started the healing journey. I couldn't find a shadow work journal that I actually could relate to. So I just went on a deep dive on the internet and found a lot of shadow work prompts and started working through them one by one. I'm not through... Not near through... when I say WE I mean WE because this is just as much for me as it is for each one of you. and if I can just help one person make it through this weird experience on Earth then that makes me happy!

I just want us to heal so that we can be the best versions of ourselves. We can't let our shadows run us... we have to learn us and love even the ugliest parts of us and trust that we are exactly where we are supposed to be doing exactly what we are supposed to be doing and everything we've gone through we got through! What would have broken others we made it through! So let's get through these shadows so that we can exude the light!

I Love You! You love you the most though!
