Shadow Work Tarot Spread | Easy Beginner Friendly Short

This year I’m looking forward to diving more into shadow work again. I tend to explore it when I feel called to and then after facing challenging aspects, I tend to pull away for a bit.

Shadow work is not something that should be forced or pushed. While it is an important aspect of spirituality and of becoming your best self, it can be incredibly challenging, especially if you aren’t in a good headspace.

What is Shadow Work?

The shadow is a psychological term for everything we can’t see in ourselves. The shadow is often called the subconscious mind.

Psychiatrist Dr. Carl Jung suggests our shadow consists of parts of ourselves we choose to repress or hide. We do this because our ego doesn't like to see, accept, or acknowledge these 'darker' aspects of ourselves.

We compartmentalize these aspects of ourselves into our unconsciousness during childhood, choosing to no longer claim that they exist within us.

If you’re curious to do some shadow work or explore it further, I highly recommend my Shadow Work ebook. It has 30 positive reviews and is less than $5.
