Don't Do Shadow Work if You Don't Plan on Actually Making Changes

Don't Do Shadow Work if You Don't Plan on Actually Making Changes
Shadow work is a really powerful tool, but if you don't plan on actually making changes, don't do shadow work.

By this point, you have already heard of shadow work. To sum it up in a neat little package, shadow work is the practice of becoming conscious of the unconscious aspects within you. This integration of unconsciousness ultimately leads to complete and total awareness. Shadow work is absolutely essential if you want to be an integrated person, if you want to actualize your personal power, if you want to walk the earth without fear, if you want to step into a place of free will instead of determinism, if you want to become awakened, if you want to know yourself, if you want to create the life you want in reality, if you want to end your suffering and/or the suffering in the world and the list goes on and on. To understand more about this, you can watch two of my videos. The first is: What is Shadow Work?. The second is: What are the Benefits of Shadow Work. Ultimately, shadow work is my specialty. For this reason, what I am about to say is something that you should take very, very seriously: Do not do shadow work if you don’t plan on actually making a change.

Get in the habit of making changes, prove to yourself that you can sustain that pattern, and then go looking for the next change to make.

"Shadow work is an absolute catalyst for CHANGE. It turns the heat way-the-hell-up on your own expansion, and it INCREASES THE GAP BETWEEN WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT YOU ARE WANTING".

Wow I LOVE that last bit! So true 🙏

[thomasrope]

Thank you . In the past I cheated on myself . I was doing a shadow work but deeply I didn’t want to change . It drove me demented . I had huge inner conflicts. Now I am Ready ❤️

[neva.]

I'm dealing with massive resistance. To a point that it's becoming quite uncomfortable. Thanks for this video ♥️

[PabloHernandez-ypuf]

I don't know if there is something wrong with me, but I love shadow work. The weirder things get, the more it satisfies me. Sometimes it is painful, but that doesn't mean that my fascination to discover my hidden side disappears.

[monikadeinbeck]

I would argue that there are two impossibilities in this proposal.
1. once a fact comes into your consciousness, you can for the first time decide whether to act upon it or not. you cannot know in advance if you will act upon a fact you don't even know.
2. you cannot not change through shadow work. Even if you decide not to act upon the new consciousness, this is now a conscious decision, which is a gamechanger.

[eatyourbroccoli]

Thank you, I figured this out the hard way unfortunately. Sometimes I feel like I bulldoze myself making changes so it takes me a long time to actually make a change that feels in alignment. I have too much trauma over starting changes and then getting overwhelmed by resistance and falling back on them

Hey Teal 💛 I’d love you make an episode about what it means on a vibrational level to eat meat. And if there is a difference between organic and the “normal” type of meat

[sinsaroff]

This whole time I thought once I became aware it would resolve itself out. Kept wondering what was still hidden. I can see now that I took no action to change what I became aware of. Ty.

[randomelvis]

Excellent post, loving your work Teal 💜

If i could add, I’d use “Take action to grow” rather than “change”…. We can’t change as we are The Universe…but action towards conscious awareness will take us all home 🙏🏻…..Thank you for this wise post Teal 🙏🏻

[disobey]

The opposite is true. If you can’t change your circumstances, you have to change yourself. (You have to do "shadow work")

[AsktheSpirits]

Shadow work: married for 24 years with DV. I’m not happy at all. I just filed for a divorce. I don’t know how to present him with the papers, I’m kinda scared. Once I do, I’ll be free and fulfill my heart with happiness. I miss that energy.

[mysticalmunchiesllc]

My girl Teal is the 🐐 goat. The greatest of all time she always sets my intellect straight. Blessings n gratitude 🙏🏼

[Ryan-topr]

The *actionable* part of the video:
*"If you don’t want to or are not willing to make a change" :*



*1. "Do shadow work on why you are unwilling to make a specific change"* (the best option if you feel like you are done with coping and its time to make a real jump in life)

*2. "Don’t do shadow work"* (the title of the video basically, and the part that is *"unrecommended"* but still a valid option)

Edit: *Thank you* teal for guiding us into this space of awareness 🙏

[SparklesCLA]

Omg this is a side to shadow work I never even knew!! This just blew my mind! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS!
Knew to my journey and this was much needed🥰

[lanabradosti]

Seeing this video as I am about to make a big chance actually thanks for the shadows I been dealing with this days. It shows me how stuck I have been in my relationship with ny family and I need to let them go and focus on my own expansion. They are very unaware and unwilling to chance. Also, I will quit my education and listen to my heart and move to a healing center in Spain! Beacuse I want to live my life in joy and creativity and not be a part of a system that is so broken. I will allow myself to set myself free and also - I will let go of my things and make a big cleanse. Thanks for this video Teal Swan your wisdom is changing the world! You inspire me also to go in alignment with my power and believe in my highest potential 💕💕💕

[katharineanonymous]

I LOVE THIS. I took a break from shadow work for two months and now I feel willing to make changes so I’m doing it again.

I know for a fact though that I did shadow work for years before I was ready because I was a match to that behavior bc of my trauma!!!

I love you teal

[mariarohmer]

Best & most crucial advice for those on a healing path.👍🏽👍🏽I wish someone had told me that in the beginning.

[robinsmith]

I needed this 50 years ago! I guess I'm not too old to learn

[vaishalivaidya]

Thank you so much Teal. Im presently studying Masters in Psychology and I wish to undertake the works and workings of Shadow work, by next year, once my degree course gets completed...and I'd like to integrate it as one of the tools in my practice as a therapist for the process conscious healing
