The channel I used on my journey. Honestly the biggest gems aren't even his content, it's the books he recommends.

He's gone very deep into reading everything shadow work related and applying it to himself/his business, so he's done the heavy lifting there for you.

You can search "Jordan Thornton book recommendations" and many more recommendation videos will come up. Or look for a video title/topic you're interested in, there will probably be recommendations there as well!

thankyou thankyou, appreciate it.

 

shadow work is a deep and complex topic. i tried to do shadow work and it backfired. i was trying to give my shadow the appreciation it need , but the shadow was so uncomfortable that i got into  bad  emotional moods

 

thankyou

@Ramanujan It has been some of the hardest work I have done.

But if you want to reveal unconscious beliefs - and unravel the thoughts and emotions attributed to them - it is invaluable.

I made the most progress when the people closest to me where candid and honest, and not afraid to reveal the truth of me and what they saw (behavior wise). I had to trust those people and their judgement to be able to do this.

But I don't think many people want to hear the truth in such a way

i used this

and i fucked up. i get super emotionally and got super bad emotions when i confronted the shadow.  i got pretty fucked up emotional states. fuck him for posting bad advice. i stoped doing shadow work and i got more happier . indeed shadow work is super challenging

I recommend learning some emotional regulation practices before facing into really intense emotions. Those are the most challenging things to face with in the process of Shadow Work, so I don't recommend jumping straight into the deepest end of the pool.

You'd certainly be better off going for lower-hanging fruit first, as there are many things that are unconscious to us that are simply unconscious because we're not looking in that direction.

You may want to begin here, which has to do with becoming conscious of what you want. Sometimes people have a lot of difficulty answering that question because there are deeper things preventing them from doing so. But often, people just get their attention diverted to logistical things and lose awareness of what they want.

But discovering what you want is the key to reconnecting with sovereignty and finding alignment and direction. So, it's a good place to begin with Shadow Work.
