Before you stands the shadow you carry.
It waits in silence, patient yet insistent.
It is yours, and it holds unclaimed power.
To journey deeper, you must meet it, know it, and give it a name.
Take a moment. Close your eyes. Breathe.
Feel the presence within you. Let it speak.
You may find journaling these questions can assist in going deeper into your shadow
Take a moment and breathe, tuning into your body, sensing where your shadow may hide, and then ask yourself these shadow prompts…
What feelings arise when you look at or feel into your shadow?
If your shadow could speak, what would it say?
What word or image captures its essence?
Now, give it a name — do not judge. Simply know it.
What is named may be carried.
What is carried may be transformed.
The Gate opens to the one who has met themselves.
