I’d like to get everyone’s opinion of their method of shadow work. i’ve realized i need to do it but for me to sit with a paper and pen and think of childhood memories i didn’t like and then comfort myself doesn’t do much for me. and i was curious other peoples methods of doing it. can it be as simple as affirmations? i reflect a lot but it doesn’t mean i necessarily know how to heal the thing reflected about.

What helps me to get into the “groove” to dive deeper into shadow work is writing prompts and answering them as honest as I can; for example I write down the question “Am I fulfilled?” or “Do I like myself?” or “What fears are currently holding me back in life?” etc. These are simple questions but the answers are really complex. They give away a lot about internalized patterns, repressed memories, etc. and they are showing me why I am like this. Its helping me to dive uncomfortably deep into myself and to dissolve dysfunctional or destructive patterns. I usually don’t write the answers out fully, but I take notes about peculiar memories or connections.

About where I stand with it.
I try to examine my patterns and after a bit with intention you start to see where some of those patterns originate and what fed into their creation.

I used Qlippothic initiation to do some heavy duty shadow work. I nearly quit the project three or four times as it got too intense. I highly recommend it.

Therapy with a psychologist.
Every time I read about “shadow work,” it seemed a lot like just going to therapy, facing your fears, asking yourself a lot of questions about why you are the way you are, then trying to respond to them, changing what you realize isn’t working for you, etc.
It’s a lot like just going to therapy.
Same thing when it comes to “self-love spells.” If you got low self-esteem and/or depression, go get therapy instead of lighting a pink candle hoping you’ll feel better tomorrow. In fact, I’d only suggest a “self-love spell” more focused on attracting or assisting in the search for a good psychologist, rather than focusing on making the lack of self-love go away as if it had never happened.
Same thing with “shadow work.” The guidance of a psychologist is key.
Just my point of view.
