Facing Our Shadows

I would imagine that there isn't anyone reading these words who hasn't felt fear.

And I would also imagine that when facing fear of any kind --

the very worst might be...the very darkness that you know, lives inside you.

The shadow parts of yourself that you hide from others.

I learned these shadows of myself could not be excised because they are me.

I may not understand, like or even approve of those certain parts of myself,

but it’s the denial of what is, that caused all my suffering.

Seeing myself as parts is what kept me from seeing I was already whole.

A second chance -- rewriting and recycling, the first half of my life.

Helped me to assimilate. Accepting all of myself.

Dark & light, moving forward in the now, into a freedom I could never thought of.

Creating space for imagination and creativity.

Releasing valuable insights to the who I am.

Learning how to live in the moment is a shift of perception, not position.

It has to do with your minds perceptions of what is. and how it, tries to keep what is uncomfortable, hurtful, traumatic, unconscious.

Imagination and creativity guided me into a place that was once dark and troubled. It was here, I found my story, a story worth living for.

Seeing the world in which I lived, full of potential.

Learning ways to face fears and move through trauma and pain.

And instead of avoiding or repressing, I found anxiety and fears dissipated as illusions. Leading to discovering my own creative pathway, uncovering my soul.

No longer afraid of the darkness.

However or wherever we enter into the current world drama as tiny babes, as we learn about our new environment we forget that we have an internal compass at the inner core of our beings -- always ready to guide.

All that is required is to turn inward and listen.

Right where you are, now.

As is.

Because that is truly, what is.

As founder of Love Street Alchemy, I’ve personally found freedom in implementing creativity as a divergent method to assimilating what lies beneath my emotions.

Inner Alchemy U is a place to discover the hidden treasures that lie in the shadows of your life.

Revealing the beauty of your own inner alchemy.

Treasures in the darkness.

Love Street Alchemy is a Way Station, lighting your way in the darkness.

If you are having trouble seeing your way through, one of the best books I ever read:

Owning your own Shadow: Understanding the Dark Side of the Psyche by Robert Johnson

I am your guide, D: The Finder helping you find your way.

If you are somebody who is stuck in fairytale love.

I can help.

Aside from finding the greatest love inward.

I also found my soulmate, the person who loves me because of who I am, not what I do. We see the core of love and wholeness reflected in each other.
