Shadow Work

from kimBarta.com

Doing your shadow work is one of the best ways to create healthy stage development. Shadow work is one way we make our lives happier and healthier. You can think of Stage, State, and Shadow as a three-legged stool that holds consciousness healthy. Stage development gives you more perspective and more capacity. States provide expansion both in breadth and in entering into new stage height. Shadow helps to heal the problems that often hold state and stage experiences back.

Some state work can help with shadow. Some stage work can help with shadow. Alternatively, shadow work can help with states and stages. When we clean up our shadow issues, new states arise and often new stages come into being.

Below is a Venn diagram to illustrate the interactive nature of State Work, Stages work, and Shadow work:
We can have great states and great stages, but if shadow is running your life, shadow can hijack those later capacities for increased suffering for yourself and others. States may lift you, Stages may lift you, but shadow can keep pulling you down. In my work with people throughout the developmental spectrum, I see shadow often utilize the latest level of development a person has to enact its own shadow agenda. I see shadow use great states to its own shadow agenda. Shadow issues can disrupt the whole system. To be fully free, whole consciousness beings we work with States, Stages, and Shadow dynamics together.

Shadow puts us in a prison of our own making. Think of the discomfort in your life. Most of that is likely derived from hidden unconscious processes.

By doing our inner work we create a better life. Our inner world
feels better. In addition, our inner work ripples out into our outer
world. Our outer world is better. This is how we heal the world.
One mind at a time. Then one community at a time. Your healthy world ripples out around you and your communities, giving everyone around you a little boost of health.

I want to be part of healing the world. And healing the world begins with healing me and my community. To help manifest these values, I took several actions to make shadow work as straightforward and as valuable as possible for you.
