Past lives ripple into now... (past life reading meditation)

Past lives ripple into now...

This is to be read as a guided meditation to bring you to a past life experience.


Now we begin...

Find yourself in a quiet, comfortable place, away from distractions and disruptions which affect your concentration to your now.  Now being this state of consciousness you are now in where you can feel the sensations and stimulations on a physical level, if you permit that, for all reality's perceptions are based on permissions.  You must give yourself permission to relax.  Find your attention on these words as they flow across your mind.  Give your blessing as you feel yourself slowly relax into your now, there may be some slight discomfort, so as you notice discomfort, breath in and out slowly and feel it soften and become easier, just notice the sensations and feelings in your body now. 

Bring your awareness to your toes and feel it begin to slowly fill you up like a ripple begins at your toes and echoes into your feet relaxing and making smooth and easy all the little muscles in your feet as it gently spreads through your ankles and up your calves, with a wave of peace it flows around your knees, unraveling the muscles there as it flows up your thighs into your waist and hips releasing held tension and tightness in these areas, relaxing you more and more.

Now slowly your lower abdomen fills with this liquid ripple of relaxation, flowing through your stomach, unraveling all the muscles around your spine as it moves up your back and into your chest and shoulders, feeling them loosen and begin to melt away tension with each breath that you take moving you further into stillness. This ripple begins through your throat and up your neck into your jaw. You feel your jaw gently release as this flow goes up around your eyes letting all the little muscles around your eyes reading this to get just a little more relaxed and gently focused on the words.

And now follow your imagination as you go down a staircase of ten steps, each step bringing your body and mind into deeper and deeper stillness, ten times deeper with each step that you go down, through the first step to the second. Now feeling the depths of thirty times deeper as you take the third step and on to the fourth. Letting all of the worries and fears clouding your experience to just fade out as you take the fifth and sixth steps. Feeling yourself in that open detached state of peace as you take the seventh and then eighth steps.  As you take the last two steps you feel yourself in this deep rhythmic flow of relaxation, one hundred times more relaxed. 

At the base of the steps you find yourself in a room with a door at the opposite end of it.  This place feels familiar and safe to you as you cross the room and come to the door. There is a sign on the door. It has the words, "Door of Time," written on it.  You open the door and see a swirling mist floating out beyond the doorway, almost like you are looking off a ledge out into a deep space of clouds.

Now before you step out into the mist, I want you to ask your subconscious mind to bring up a current issue you are working on in your life, something you would like help with resolving, and I want you to hold this vision of this situation in your mind.  Now envision that issue flying out of your mind and into the open doorway. This will set up your experience to place you in a former existence where you handled or dealt with a similar issue or problem so that you may learn how it was resolved.

Standing at the doorway now you step out into the mist and feel yourself with the sensation of flying through clouds.  You feel the cool mist flowing through and around you and there is a chill in the air of the swirling air moving around you.  As you are floating there safely you feel the winds move faster and you feel yourself drifting through your timeline back through your past, before your birth, bringing you to another lifetime, another experience of living.  You feel yourself begin to descend back towards the world coming down from the clouds moving into the body of another life that you have lived.

You find yourself a reflection and see what you looked like, smelling the smells of the place, checking in with how this entity feels about their situation and what they are doing.  Noticing your clothing and the decorations of the place you can have an idea of the time period. You know what this person's job or work is, you can feel their family connections and perhaps see similar ones to your own current life.  You can now feel the connection to this entity's life situation and how it corresponds to the life issues you are working on. 

Connecting inside this entity's life record by focusing inside of their body, you ask it to bring you to the point of resolution to the issue or problem so that you may learn and make the connection to your now.  You feel yourself shift through this being's life, flowing into their future which has already happened.  You then find yourself at another point and time in the entity's life where the resolution was brought to a close and you can feel the joy of moving forward in this entity's experience.  You connect with how this will help your current situation understanding how and why things played out the way they did. 

You feel the closure in this being's life and thank it immensely for sharing their experience and learning with you now.  You feel the completion and disconnect as you begin to float up out the body up into the sky and back to the flowing field of clouds.  You feel the coolness and dampness from the clouds move through you clearing attachments to that previous life and you look out through the clouds and notice the doorway still there in the sky out in the distance.  You begin to float towards it and you feel yourself shift forward in time to your present timeline.

As you step back into the room with the stairs, you can feel the understanding of the visit to a previous lifetime echo through your mind.  You feel a deep sense of gratitude for yourself on your healing journey and know that this experience was there to show you how to clarify your experiences in the present world.  You gently make your way back to the steps knowing that you are coming back into the regular world with new insight and focus.

As you come up each of the ten steps you begin to feel yourself fully engage with the room or space you are in as you read this, feeling supported and safe, refreshed and relaxed.  Bringing your attention back to your fingers and toes, your arms and legs, flowing into your body and head, finding yourself behind your eyes as you are alert and refocused, wide awake and wonderful.


Now reflect on what you have gained from this experience.

Safe travels as we explore the endless boundaries of our consciousness together!

Sample passage from my Gritty Real-World Spiritual Fiction Adventure book to be finished this year!

A passage from Chapter 3 of my second book, to be finished this year called, 

"This is it."

Enjoy!

3

"777, huh," he said aloud to himself as he walked up to the bus stop, "the bus should be the quickest way to the docks." He got on and quickly sat in the first open seat he saw, the vehicle was fairly crowded, and he didn't venture for eye contact among the sea of empty faces. "Only 5 stops, not too bad," Shanyn thought. He found the closest open window to look out of and gazed towards it. As his gaze began to glaze over, he felt himself zone out.

             Suddenly his attention narrowed to a sharp vortex as he heard the voice. It was coming from behind him in the next row, her, the weird old lady from the previous evening. But what really peaked his attention as they continued conversing behind him, was what they were saying. He felt like he was in the twilight zone, she was talking about being in this oneness, like she referred to with Shanyn just the night before. He listened, it seemed interesting to him.

              "It permeates all things everywhere," she spoke enthusiastically, kind of odd for those around her, noticeable by their expressions, as they glared at her judgmentally. As if completely unaware of her ignorant onlookers, she spoke with quiet confidence, "There is no place that it is not, for you see, it is everything, but even though it is everything, it is also nothing."

            "Lady, I don't know where you escaped from, but I hope they find you soon," the sharp attack, viciously ignorant, flew from the mouth of the overly-self-assured-wanna-be-gangster seated across from her. Shanyn wondered what she would say as he tried to figure out what she was saying to begin with.

            "They can find me any where; all they have to do is open their eyes, just like you, my young friend. Anything you search for is right here in front of you. Are you sure you can't see it?" she questioned the thug with such solemn patience, totally void of frustration, or anger. Her voice still filled with a joy that Shanyn just didn't get. It was so alien to him; he just sat there, intently listening.

             "All I can see lady, is that you are full of shit," with that he jumped up, stared her down for a moment, as if to intimidate the harmless elderly woman, then quickly threw his shoulders forward to try to make her flinch. She didn't even blink, her eyes transfixed on him with perfect understanding. Complete and total peace emanated from the mysterious mistress as she acknowledged her confronter. The young black teenager stood up straight, confused at what was occurring right before his very eyes. The people on the bus all looked on now, yet with an odd sense of detachment, as if they were watching television. Shanyn kept vigilant, knowing he would try to step in if the boy became physical.

              Then the young gangster-in-training reacted in a most peculiar way. His maliciously intent stare slowly faded. His face went placid and he seemed genuinely at peace for a moment. It was almost as if she had spread whatever it was she was immersed in with him, because it was apparently working. He smiled at her in a way that suggested sincere gratitude, as if she had released all of his inner pain or something. As always, in typical New York tradition, no one around them noticed a thing. Everyone except Shanyn didn't, anyway. He wondered if she just perpetually perused the city, freeing random souls with open-ended ideas and bliss inducing stares.

              The boy sat down and gave the grandmotherly person his full, undivided attention. She softly cleared her throat and began, "The best part of this Oneness is that it will never run out, being everything and all. It is pure peace to know there is no end and that everything you think you know is an illusion; just endless cycles, form to form from form to form from form to form, etc. etcetera, ad infinitum. If we can close our mind enough, the conscious "cluttered" collection of thoughts we call a mind, then it will all be revealed in one eternal peace to this piece of our relativized reality so just be it now, there is nothing else to know..."

          Shanyn felt the words echo through his quieted mind, feeling at ease and vulnerable towards her. It frightened yet intrigued him as he sat there listening to the illumined rant as she went on and on. He swore he could feel the peace just emanate from her in waves of pulsing energy. He looked up when the bus stopped again, as if he had just stepped back into reality. "Shit, it figures," he torted to himself as he noticed that the bus was already one stop past where he wanted to be. With that realization, he snapped back to full consciousness and leaped towards the bus doors. "At least it's only four blocks, it could have been far worse."\

As he looked down the road he could see the docks in the distance.  He glanced down at his watch and saw that it was 1:17.  Quickening his pace over a couple steps he wondered what the place would look like.  Was it a shady, dark place, cold and damp?  Or is it a clean and warm set up almost seeming too nice to be a warehouse?  He visualized the two scenarios as he came up to the last block now.  He could see it clearly now, the large 777, high up on the corner of the building.   High walls made the sevens look almost menacing on the side of the warehouse.  The place’s height created a shadowed area to the left of the doors.

            He walked up the steps quickly, two at a time and reached to open the door.  It was locked.  He knocked, and it echoed faintly in the distance.  The smells of rotting fish and putrid sea air lit up his nostrils in a deep breath.  “Nothing like the East River,” he thought as he waited patiently.  The darkness of the alley created an odd effect for Shanyn as he glanced up to see blue skies and fluffy white clouds meandering overhead gently through the air.

“Kreeeeeeeee! Boom!” the door assaulted his ears as it slowly opened.  “Who are you?” spouted an abrupt, raspy deep voice as a man emerged from the shadowy interior.  The distinct voice revealed him as the man from the telephone.  An almost monstrous mountain of a person, he stood just under the top of the doorway and peered down at Shanyn with eyes that seemed weathered beyond their years. 

“I called about the job,” Shanyn said with a smile on his face, trying to hide the serious uneasiness the man’s daunting figure posed to his smaller stature.  “I’m here to speak to the supervisor; I think I spoke to you on the phone.  The name’s Shanyn,” and he reached out his hand to try to break the tension he sensed was growing.

The man looked at his hand coldly, then said, “Follow me.”  With that he pushed the doors open further, turned around and went back down the steps he had just come up.  As he ventured after him through the doorway the room opened up like a cathedral.  The warehouse walls just rose up and up to the smaller rectangular windows near the roof.  Sunlight poured through the windows projecting down onto what looked like a small area of offices with the more formal, dirty, smelly, warehouse out in the distance.  The clanking his escort made as he walked down the metal steps was the only sound audible beyond the industrial sized fans droning on far overhead.  An odd aroma of gasoline coupled with what can only be described as plastic melting made his stomach turn over and cringe, leaving him slightly light headed as he descended into the place.

Expect more snippets over the course of the year, I am 150 pages into the book, so we are almost to completion!

Interconnection Now!

Let's take a brief journey together...

Wait!

Watch out!

Did you see that?

That was a close one...

What was it?

It was this momentary illumination hiding just behind the atoms...

What is all that supposed to mean?

This place, where we are now, because we are always here, is that underlying current of binding and blinding light, moving just at the edge of our view co-creating it with us.  It is that force of which you speak, that super glue holding together the universe, or as Carl puts it, "star stuff."  

This is truly what we are right now in this moment.

How is that even possible? 

If I cut myself blood comes out. 

If I dig through my body, I will not find this hiding light, just my guts...

So where is it hiding? 

How can it even hide?

Do fish understand the water they swim in? 

If they did, it would change everything, just as with us...

Each breath, each inhalation is the creation and destruction of countless molecular interconnections happening every instant of an instant, and we continue to breath and just exist, thinking there is nothing more...

It does not need us to be so, and yet it does...

When we delve into what collectively we know, we can step into our interconnected inner self, where all of these connections are as infinite as science deems it to be.

So why is Now important?

What is its relevance?  It is relevance.  It is attention, pure awareness without corruption, it is swimming in the zero state, that field of the all in which we are now moving, where all things are possible and there are no limits, baggage or memories weighing on your soul, but only if you look for it.

Awareness needs awareness to find it and know how to use it constructively...

Being a tautology is going to be the new prerequisite for this paradigm of understanding, so be ready for circles and find where they connect. 

As we understand the endless cycles and possibilities of now we can choose our own illusions that we are electing to meander through in this lifetime. 

What we align with and give our attention to is what we become and are.

So how do we find this light hidden in our atomic structure?

The breath. 

This point of connection that is the creation of our sustained life, it goes on without our permission and continues without our awareness, yet we can harness it.  We can grow in our use of the power within it. It is that illumined feeling of warmth, emotion, joy filling your being as you harness it simply by paying attention to your breathing, gently and easily controlling that which we are interconnected through. 

Holding the light, it grows within. Holding the breath, the power of presence and awareness grows within. 

It is that same brilliance that powers the sun and cosmos.

All this is contained here in this moment, just beyond our view, countless doorways to infinite realms of magic and mystery await us as we become this moment. 

As we interconnect our feeling of presence with our goals and dreams, they will come flooding towards us.

And so it is.

Just be.

Opening the flood gates and the cell doors...

Open to the infinite...

Take a deep breath,

Let yourself seep into the boundless,

the timeless,

What is beyond now if now is all there is?

Inner alchemy is transmutation of fear to love, 

of the timebound to the timeless...

Realizing the complete release of blockages can induce panic if you aren't ready to be vulnerable or freed. 

Do you want freedom?  

Then come with me...

Step away from your body with your heart out...

So many of us wear our chains like badges of honor, holding them and using them as crutches.

Stepping away from crutches is a terrifying experience when the hobbling world has become 

all you know.

Complexity grows exponentially when we step off the path, 

with layers upon layers flowing outward in ripples 

from those core events that started the issues and problems 

we agreed to work through before our incarnation in these physical prisons...

Will the lessons be learned?

Can we be introspective enough to transcend 

this beautiful facade we call reality?

What will we transcend to?

Can we even handle the truth and promise of infinity?

See yourself releasing what you think you know, 

so you can experience what you feel that you know is real...

Just be.

Push...

Take a deep breath.

Come with me...

Now.

Push to expand...

Push to explore.

Push to express...

To be the flow...

Tantric rantings fill the mind
with contusions of conclusions
splintering off for amusement
as we spin this fire of the mind
and the heart intertwined
we sip of the vein of the infinite
and dive into the falls of consciousness
as the vortex widens to encompass the all
that is now. 

Did you get all that?  
There will be a test at the end, 
please try to keep up 
as the expansion of awareness
and consciousness incorporates
the effervescence of the illumined
as we feel those bubbles
percolating in our chest
and the wellspring of play and joy
take over in this timeless moment of flow
that we pass in and out of
as we meander our trail...

Find the gratitude for all moments, 
for all sides of the story matter
as this rambling of awareness
trickles to a stream
we dig out the vein
to begin again
cyclical spirals
dance through perception
know the ebb,
ride the flow,
be the now,
reap what's sown.

Just be.

fires of redemption

Deep in the depths of the shallows of the mind 
we find our perceptions awry with visions and misconceptions of the past, 
taking that one last gasping breath before heading into the mire of the pile, 
the masses of misunderstanding and fog of unforgiveness, 
those false notions, or memories distorted, shown through one's filters 
processing out that which you are not ready for...

Ready yet?

So just tilt the filter to the side for just a brief instant and come with me...

Feel the pulsation of the vibrations of energetic light flow 
through the veins of the space 
between the cracks of the veil as the way is made clear
for an instant you can now be self reflective, 
you can now see those patterns of painful perceptions you cloud your perspective with...  

The puzzle of your psyche laid out before you in such as you can actually be objective, 
just for the moment anyway...

Don't look away, this part is important.  

That template of reality you have been playing your movie through is still a bit smudged and needs a good smudging to release those held attachments to those moments of agony, and those moments of joy need a good polish to rediscover the gratitude of each second, the graciousness with which we revere the infinite as we perceive those cracks in the maya of this illusive world.

Did you look away?  

I hope not.  If you did, just go back through it 
It's always there, as it was before.  
The cycle never ends. 
It can evolve, but only if you are ready...

Can you find the joy in agony's pocket, 
or the blessings among the curses?  

This redemption you seek is locked within your own mind, 
the key to your past and future is always within reach and sight, 
just beyond the edges of your view... 

it is always there waiting 
for you to open your eye 
and embrace the now...

Take a deep breath, and release into it...

That layer beyond the past and future, 
where all is possible and can manifest,

a fifth dimensional soup of possibilities, 
not clouded by held remorse or anxieties,

the field where all is able to be,

now...


Just be.

Connect to the divine...

Take a deep breath... close your eyes... Now exhale and let yourself drift slowly into this moment.

Envelope yourself in the presence that we are now in.

Find the nuances of each glance, each step, each breath...

Sit in the stillness you find in between each word or each musical note...

Realize that all is one, the spaces and the cacophony of the collective all talking at once and this peace is a piece of the divine, this knowing, this spiraling effervescence of our divinity is contained in those spaces between these atoms,
the ones you are contained in,
the ones you accept as your reality, as your reason for being, as your presence...

Be present in this instant, know that it is eternal, it will never not be right now. 

Embrace the feeling of interconnection as you gaze into the eyes of those around you and experience the depth of your soul.

Revel in the expanding universe as you peer into the depths of the universe with the twinkling stars dancing through your view in the endless night sky above.

Even the most unassuming of times can extend outward revealing the infinite, this perpetual dream we flow in and out of interweaves our destinies. 

There is a reason you were in my dreams...

Just be in the stillness,

and know you are divine.

Light for your path...

Just be.

Visualize, mesmerize, materialize!!!

'Tis the season!

                 Don't wait!  

                             Do this now. 

                                           Let's begin...

Now follow along and visualize this to yourself, picture it in your mind, as you read along with me. First take a deep, full breath in, all the way down to your belly and let it out slowly now, and spend a few moments just focusing on your breath as it comes in and out slowly and calmly.  Now picture the sky up above you with the bright sun high up overhead.  Feel the warmth of the sun on your face as you continue to take deep full centering breaths calming and relaxing you now as you bask in the light of the sun.  Just be still in this moment.
  
Now as you are quiet and still notice as thoughts about your day, worries about deadlines or any of life's difficulties just spill out into your stillness, almost as though you are holding back a levee of thoughts and its slowly seeping out.  Now see in your mind these repetitive thoughts, some negative, some not, these thoughts you have about who you are and what you are, how you feel and what you think of your surroundings.  You know those thoughts that play like a tape recording throughout your day.
  
Watch now as the thoughts transform in your mind into clouds as they fill up the sky and block the warmth from the sun.  So now picture yourself safely rising up into the sky through those clouds of busy and negatively patterned thoughts.  Seeing them separate from oneself now you know in this moment, you are more than your thoughts...

Realize that as you are coming out of the cloud cover up back into the brilliance and warmth of the sun that you are moving beyond these limiting thoughts back to the you that is eternal.  You are transcending to the witness, that infinite part of you that is not attached to any emotions or preconceived notions of what the world is like.  It is being in that childlike innocence.  This is where you are now.  See the clouds below you now as they drift past and feel the powerful connection from the warmth of the sun revitalizing your true self.  Feel the textures of the clouds, realizing again that you are more than these senses.  You are the still small scribe to this infinite sea of experiences.  Know that you are beyond your emotions.  You are connected to your source, aware, alert.  Now slowly bring yourself back into this space, the room you are in, feeling comfortable and relaxed in your body, knowing in a deep place that you are better for this, and it is so...

Are you presently present now?  

If not, take a second to remember who you are, where you are and why you are... 

Do you have goals?  

What is it you truly want?  

What is keeping you from being there now?  

Will you save yourself in time?  

There is only one lifetime we are currently aware of  so we must capitalize on our experience of the present in order to harness the full potentiality in every instant of our perception...

Presence can be experienced in a great number of ways from some deep breaths to simply being in your body.  

Create a mantra consisting of a few things you are working to create for oneself...

Here's how you do it:

Simplify whatever your goal is into a few words and just keep the saying or phrase that you can run in the background noise of your mind, repeating on autopilot while you are mentally focused on the outside world, being aware of one's own body as such is a difficult undertaking...

Create now in this new year whatever it is you can envision with all of your senses.  See yourself presently in perfect awareness of your consciousness, being in the flow.

Happy 2016!!!!

Modern mysticism

A shaman is defined as a person who acts as intermediary between the natural and supernatural worlds, using magic to cure illness, foretell the future, control spiritual forces, etc...

In this digital dimension we are divided by space and time by moments expressed through packets of information flowing through the ether in waves of electronic expression. The idea of the shaman is lost in the materialistic nightmare of prepackaged simplified samples of spirituality sold at cost from those willing to release it to the masses. 

What are they really feeding us?  How can we know the truth of spirit and dimensional travel with a mine field of misdirection and confused information?

Can one weekend sweat lodge free your soul and reveal the secrets of the metaphysical levels of reality just out of view? Probably not, but who knows...      Anything is possible.

Who are the teachers and how can we trust them?  What gives me or anyone else the authority or right to call ourselves shamen?

What is enlightenment?  

How do we know it when we are there?  Can we even know the extent of it?  Would you realize it if you were it right now?

That may be the jumping off point for this discussion.  What is enlightenment?  Spiritual seekers, gurus, and masters of all faiths call this nirvana state the ultimate goal of spirit.  They also tell us we are already there and are at all times.  How can we feel and be in that infinity at all times and not realize it?  What are we missing?  What has blinded us from the shining perfection we are perpetually immersed in?  How can we free ourselves from the shackles inside of our mental caves we have been trapped in?  What is this secret?

     Is it the perfection of realizing the connections of our imperfections follow synchronistic and sacred dimensions wrapping us in the infinite now?  

Can we be in this enlightened state yet function in this realm?  Saving the masses with our vibration, we seek to move this plane of being further toward the eternal peace lying just beyond the veil of existence. 

The modern shaman must be one who can tred this fourth way and be in both worlds, yet not of either...   

An old Buddhist saying goes, "Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water."  Finding our peace and still existing and pushing through the mire and difficulties of the world definitely seems like the path least taken. 

Disengaging with the world does not free us from it, it only shields our being from that which may help us to express and grow even further from the experience of being in the doldrums of our reality.  

Why are adversities powerful and necessary?  Simply because they foster growth at its most raw, unfiltered form.  It pushes us to bend our envelopes of experience to have the most vibrant and most rich depth to our power and magic.  It strengthens our resolve to be pure and impeccable. 

Our modern mysticism manifesting miracles with each breath focused to the now... 

Let us begin our journey to here...

Light for your path...

A dark embrace

Acceptance of what is is an embrace of life in all of its richness of color...  

Be those colors shaded to darker hues or lightened to pastels, all of our experiences in life have enriched it to be the colors we perceive.  The issues that arise in our life, be them physical, emotional or spiritual will remain persistent and continue to fester and injure us more and more if we cannot grasp their value and place in our perception.  This blocking we create from the denial of our true selves is so detrimental to our being that it will even create illness and dis-ease. 

What we run from chases us, and what we hide from searches for us...  

When people cannot embrace all aspects of themselves, they become trapped in the event, time frame or mental state which they are trying to avoid.  Its as though our spirit has a bookmark in the timeline novel that is our life and when we refuse to turn the page or read the whole excerpt, it saves our space until we do.  Unfortunately saving your space causes you to become mentally and often physically stuck there as well.  I have seen many people so stuck in a particular event or time period that they miss the beauty and wonder that is right in front of them. 

Now not all of these shadows are self-inflicted, though a fair amount are...  

No child asks to be abused, and no spouse asks to be cheated on or mistreated.  (On the soul level we all choose our experience, but that is for another discussion) People can overcome these setbacks and devastations if they can find their inner courage to completely face the issue or fears and move through them.  This is by no means a one step easy process, it can take years or lifetimes for some of us, but it can be done.  

The first and most imperative rung on this ladder of healing is accepting what is and what has been... 

It is acknowledging where we have come from in order for us to take those steps forward.  It is not letting ourselves become destroyed by what can best be described as our “acomodador,” as Paulo Coelho describes in his book, The Zahir, that will give us the power to move on and grow from the experiences of our lives in a positive way.  In The Zahir, Coelho quotes from a book called Magical Practices in Northern Mexico which describes the concept:

“The acomodador or giving-up point: there is always an event in our lives that is responsible for us failing to progress: a trauma, a particularly bitter defeat, a disappointment in love, even a victory that we did not quite understand, can make cowards of us and prevent us from moving on. As part of the process of increasing his hidden up powers, the shaman must first free himself from that giving-up point and, to do so, he must review his whole life and find out where it occurred.”

Rising up and being with ourselves in our point of accommodating, or point of becoming stuck in our ego into being complacent or stopping to evolve or grow is the best way to let go of that trauma. It is the first leap to overcoming all odds.  This reviewing of ones life is a major aspect of what Jung called, the shadow work.  It is a first step in renewal and rebirth if one is being consumed by their acomodador.

Let us combine our efforts to help embrace our shadows so that we may again become whole.

We will stitch them back to our feet as our hero Peter Pan has done.

Embracing the Shadow, Healing the Past

Maybe the only thing each of us can see is our own shadow. Carl Jung called this his shadow work. He said we never see others. Instead we see only aspects of ourselves that fall over them, shadows, projections, our associations. The same way old painters would sit in a tiny dark room and trace the image of what stood outside a tiny window, in the bright sunlight, the camera obscura. Not the exact image, but everything reversed or upside down.                                                                                                                                   ―Chuck Palahniuk
