In this video, I walk you through a grounded, compassionate process for identifying your shadow material. We’ll look at what shadows are, how they show up in daily life, and what to do once they begin to surface.

You’ll learn to recognise shadows through:

– Triggers in relationships

– Judgments and projections

– Recurring emotional patterns

– Dreams and symbolic inner experiences

– Self-critical inner dialogue

– Repeated feedback from others

Once you begin to identify a shadow, the invitation is not to fix it — but to meet it. I’ll guide you through how to begin that process gently: journaling, inquiry, noticing, and even writing a love letter to the parts of you you’ve tried to hide.

Clear 15 minutes, bring your journal, and come as you are.

The door is open.

Come inside.

Understanding and Embracing Shadow WorkFor Shadow Work Jounal Prompts by Star Sign:https://amandasstars.com/sign-up-to-r...This video delves into the concept of shadow work, an idea first introduced by Carl Jung. It addresses the parts of ourselves that we push into our subconscious due to societal and personal pressures. The video explores how these shadow aspects manifest in our lives, often influencing our behavior in hidden ways. It discusses the importance of integrating these parts through self-compassion and the benefits of this integration, both personally and collectively. Practical methods for engaging in shadow work, such as therapy, journaling, and symbolism (tarot cards and astrology), are also highlighted to help viewers embark on this transformative journey.
