How to surpass your shadow self: 1. Heal your inner child 2. Step out of your comfort zone 3. Let go of wanting to be right, don’t assume right or wrong
We really need to have universal education on how our minds function....so that these lessons can be learned early in life. The amount of pain born by most of us is incalculable, and unnecessary. I first met my 'shadow self' at the age of fifty. Despite twenty years of good progress since, I am still it's prisoner in too many ways. I want to commend you for reaching out beyond your livelihood; and providing these insights. We are loved!
Nobody wants critical thinkers. They don’t want you to know… us to know , that there is so much more we can do. The power of emotion can be focused to a fine point. I’ve killed my inner child w residue. Merk’d the lil guy. Wasn’t pretty.
OMG! I did the same thing you did to your child self . I hugged my child self and told her , YOU ARE A STRONG LITTLE GIRL AND EVERYTHING ITS OKAY .. YOU ARE SAFE :') Thank you Aaron :)
As a retired Mental Health Counselor I continue to be Wowed by this content! I also was physically and verbally abused by an alcoholic father. We both survived. It is our duty to continue to help others come up and out of mental misery from past events. Carry on my brother👏🏾🦋
When I meditate my shadow self actually presents itself as a young little toddler version of me. I give her a hug every time I connect, and feel so much better. Does anyone else experience his??
I’m just now seeing this exploring what else I can do to my inner child work and I cried watching this because that’s exactly what I did, I meditated and went back to some painful memories and I hugged baby me. I’ve realized when people say “love yourself” it really means the younger version of yourself 🥺
I LOVE you Aaron! I’ve been healing my shadow the last few years too and I’ve made super soooo much progress this year! You really have helped in that! I swear at one point in the video when you said “Aaron it’s ok.” I heard Aereie it’s ok.💕 you are so right about forgiveness and Love!!!
I literally went within myself instantly as he did that and said its ok to myself at the exact same time he did out loud. Aaron really is so genuinely amazing
Its not just a 5 or 6 year old. Some of us carry many wounds from adulthood. Maybe you can look at helping some of those who suffer extreme trauma in adulthood. This is very important.
My first shadow work experience was similar future me and child me stood face to face and processed alot of trauma and comforted her and told her we were now safe we made it through and she told me she always knew my future potential and loved me we hugged and alot of tears later I set her free and integrated her into me was beautiful moment plant medicine aka edible cannabis made this possible have had many shadow experience since then but this was most profound as an adult with borderline personality disorder I realize the cause was a wounded inner child who was neglected in her youth and development
I was at the grocery store and a father with a child was next to me, the child was around 5 years old and was sitting in the grocery cart asking his father if he could have an item on the shelf, the father said you don't deserve that item because you are a bad boy and you don't behave, he said good boys get stuff and bad boys don't. I'm not sure what that little boy had done in the first 5 years of his life to be a "bad boy" but I just wanted to hug him and tell him you are NOT a bad boy. I was able to understand the impact those words have on a little child of that age and the long term implications those words have on a human. That father was only doing what probably his father did to him and the pattern continues until we realize the importance of understanding the developing brain from age zero to 7 years(impressionable years) to try our best to instill the most positive attributes to that child. The neo cortex especially the frontal lobe of the brain continues to develop even into our 20's so everything that is imprinted into the brain while developing the ego is the game changer. Most personality disorders are developed from an early age secondary to some kind of emotional/physical/mental abuse.
Thanks again, I realize now that the trick is to be aware of those thoughts and feelings that keep you in the lower vibration, then to perform the necessary actions to rise above and release. Yeah, the rules and regulations of those booking engines can certainly test one's character. I've been there, LOL.
Yes!!! Love this!! Shadow work as we integrate and our body’s upgrade to our crystalline structure. Things have come up but to be released!! Keep healing y’all ❤️🙏🏼
LSD is a great tool for putting you more in the now and removing you from the ego or showing more so that you're not the ego self. Its essentially a cheat depending on the dose but one can be enlightened just by realization from an acid trip. Then from that meditate everyday. But just doing all that and watching your videos man I wouldn't be where I am today. You've been a great part of my awaking man love the videos and keep just being you my friend :D
PrankLoverAndGameAddict have been thinking about trying LSD. When I try to meditate I can’t get out of my own way lol. Just a little scared cause once you take it... you’re committed for a few hours... any suggestions?
Would definitely suggest doing it for sure especially if you're familiar with meditation you should be fine. Lsd shows you even more so that you're not your thoughts. Its seperats you from the ego. Just as meditation but in a much more profound way it puts you back into the state of unity
I just subscribed omg found u from being subscribed to Leoor you two are a great duo!! Watching you guys videos together really has helped my spiritual journey !!! I been manifesting so easily now thank you I love you guys💞
I love your videos😊 I am a step mom to four kids but I feel like they are mine biologically❤. I'm sorry for the pain you had with your ex-step mom, but I am grateful for you sharing bc for me, everytime you talk about her I check myself and ask, "am I being loving enough to them? Etc" Being a parent is hard and a miracle I even have children as a second waver.
I am in tears!! Thank you so much for this.. I feel so in sync with every word that comes out of your mouth its so nuts. My parents divorced when I was 5 too so this really got me to understand how much we overlook that we wouldnt think affects us now.. And also had the exact same issue with my stepmother just bizarre how similar my path was to yours. So much love ~Namaste~ Amanda D.
This should have a BILLION VIEWS! everything he saying is on point to the highest degree of transformation... I'm in a seemingly very dark place more than ever as I was starting to feel the glory and awakening.. Then BAM! I been in this emotional Storm/Dark place for like 12 days more than ever..So I know in my heart I will come out of this.. As this is the gate for my highest transformation ever...it hurts, I feel a bit lost, bewildered and shakened but I know I will see the glory more than ever after this. I will hold on and continue the work
Everyone has an entity living with them. It's your everything. Your teacher, your true friend, your real life partner, your Devil and your enemy. But your true well wisher.
I was driving home tonight and I started talking to God the Universe thanking them but also asked them to help me understand how to overcome these couple obstacles that I can't seem to figure out and how to fix because it just is so hard and seriously no lie absolutely no joke your story of your step mom came to my thoughts ...As I'm laying down I grabbed my phone and this message came up on RU-vid... And as I'm listening still in Awe of this ..Flashbacks and memories are coming back of my childhood of my stepdad and real dad...Thank you for being you and helping so many people sir 😊 Much love
Thank you so much for your video today, Aaron! I just accidentally dropped my orgonite pendant before I left for work today, and according to traditions in my culture, that was totally a big no no to start off a day. It was a very beautiful orgone pendant, and i spent a lot of money on it. Plus I was just so used to wearing it all the time, but now it’s suddenly gone. However instead of being negative, I tried to take a few deep breaths and then picked up all the broken pieces from the floor, and I did a prayer pose with a thought as, “ thank you for everything previously, and it’s time to go on my own path without you now. Peace and love “. Honestly, until I saw this video on your channel after I got to work today, it was still a little bit bothering me with this broken pendant. Now I’m feeling completely good, and I’m happy to be able to head to a new direction by myself today. It’s time to grow up and get stronger. Thank you, Aaron. Have a good one. :)
Gosh Aaron, there's a lot of Budism in your ways, I love it! And I relate. I've got a lot of forgiveness to do, to the bullies in my life in order to be able to love myself and forgiveness towards myself. Million thanks for this, love and peace sending your way...
Aaron I appreciate your videos so much.. I’m not even half way through but I’ve connected with my shadow self about a year ago, before this video! She presented as a toddler version of me and I hug her. Every time I meditate I try to connect with her and hug her!! Omg this is crazy. Since being aware of her, I have worked to heal her, and so she has been more present this last year.. I ignored her for so long, I know now during meditation she needs mothering and comfort, so my major depressive disorder has been severe this last year. Life’s presented a lot of suffering this last year, I’m a mother of a 18 month old suffering from major depressive disorder, PTSD from an abusive relationship with a narcissist. I’m an empath, and people take me energy, but I’m happy to give it.
Because of your channel I have finally started doing my shadow work. And what I have realised now is that most of us yeah become what other have done to us , I can see it now. I know I have to dig more but yeah I do not want to become those who did me wrong I do not want be them, my sould do not want it.
I saw my shadow self in a physical form. It was one of my very first successful astral projections. I was in my room after having just projected and I saw a dark figure turn and stalk away from me. I knew it somehow connected with me. But I wasn't expecting to see it, because I never knew and never acknowledged my shadow self and so I was a bit freaked out it abruptly ended my projection. I had just done a increase love meditation just before attempting my projection. I felt the shadow take the energy. Which bothered me at first. I guess it needed the love and affinity I was holding from the meditation which I was unable to give because I simply did not know. Now there's just peace within. 20 odd years of hidden, background pain vanished. Wow!
Just watching this video brought tears to my eyes! I can relate to so much. I have only just started to work on my shadow. I am now aware that to be free is to do the work and connect to what I've been trying to stuff down for years! Not facing your shadow self is the most harmful thing you can do to yourself. I was totally lost. I'm so looking forward to the future and no I am not scared one bit, because I know I need to do this work to be free. Thank you for this, I have watched many videos but yours is the best one by far, so far.
My Ah ha moment - knowing why I could always relate to children. I now know that it was because that was the time my own 'trauma' took place. That self doubt whether my mom loved me when I was 8... So now I have an amazing affinity with young children and they sense that. They easily and trustingly open up and share their feelings of their own doubts to me... And I help them heal 😲 I just realized that healing them through their own insecurities has been my inner child's way of healing 'me'. (My poor poor 8 yr old self 🤦🏽♀️🥰❤️ - how much I love you...) Thank you Aaron 🙏🏽I can now finally understand so many things 🥰
Totally felt your anger all through the screen :P ...of course, it's internal, ego just knows all the pains and frustrations. Well, there is one thing that my ego still keeps me sort of not going into the uncertain: almost every time I try something, it collapses or fails and I end up feeling even worse. There is an expectation that trying new things will be exciting and funny... but when I put my intention to push the boundries, painful things usually happen. Yeah, I'm still alive so maybe I'll learn to just deal with it in time :)
So, as a parent, if I’ve accidentally hurt my little girls and their shadow self, how do I help them work through that? I don’t want my sweet girls to have accidental negative selves. How do I help them now? I try really hard to let them know they are safe and they are loved but I know there are probably times where they felt “less” and I didn’t notice. I don’t want them to struggle with self doubt and self hate like I always have.
It was annoying at first but i appreciate the life comparisons to comprehend the topic. Im usually right about things and sometimes wrong but get upset when im right and its ignored. I am now going to try and let things slide as much as possible and hopefully i can enhance my energy
Fear entices us to stay 'safe'. This safety is a prison. When we understand that the key to our freedom is within us....we can begin to unlock, and cast off, the chains we have misguidedly accepted as judgement.
we are the light to our shadow we give every experience meaning universe is neutral know the universe inside u only than u will be ready for the wonders and magic of external multiverse love and wisdom is all u need give it to yourself to receive it fully from others
That LVE you mentioned that can be described as a ‘trigger’.....omg I know wha5 you’re talking about. I remember the last time I had one of those, and I detect that very thing from people upon confronting something that doesn’t compute to their reality....I can hear it in their voice, see in their face, and completely relate to reaction that’s stirring around in their head. I always thought of it as a childish thing, cuz the last time I went through a dramatic drop in vibration due to some insignificant detail, I was still very young, no older than 10 yrs old. I always thought it was just a maturity thing, but it’s actually a much bigger picture than that! That is funny of you to bring that up in this shadow-talk. I can recall that LVE so vividly. It’s like a intense, dramatic swelling up of distress, fluster, resentment, ferocity, disgust. Like a black ugly mass stretching it’s wings inside you. Your video on this topic has helped me put words on things that have made a place in my memory and I am actually really excited lol I had no idea it is associated with shadow-side conflict o.o You’ve opened my mind to quite a bit, AND reassured me that I’m doing good :D
Thank you for healing my child times. It was perfect times, but in many years it was destroyed by time. I didnt know it. Thanks to you i find this problem in me. Ty!
You are exactly like me I grew up in a dark home life with an ass hole drunk father and it made me extremely rebellious and made me believe I’ll always be treated awful and be alone but I respect you because you’ve been through shit
I remember becoming one with my shadow self. She and I melded to become one and I feel much more powerful since then. Manifestation became a little easier too :')
My shadow self has been predominantly been ruling my life. I can never break away from it nor keep it in check. I wish I could be better at life but in the words of my grandpa, "Shit in one hand and wish in the other, see which one fills up first." Wishful thinking is good but as for us actually changing our own realities is MUCH MUCH MUCH harder than anything I have ever done...EVER.
I know how I developed my shadow it’s because my brother and sister laughed at me for falling off my mom and dads lap everytime I tried to sit in their lap(s) and every time I fell I hit my head
Next time you do book a flight, do it in the incognito tab, it doesn't track stuff so flights and stuff are cheaper. search "ways to book cheaper flights" there are good articles out there explaining how the flight sites track stuff to make us pay more and ways to get around it.
Hey Aaron thank you for this video it really helped me. You sharing your experiences and showing that you're human just like us is a very good way to motivate us. Thanks!
HOLY SCHIZER!!! Aaron. U R the LIGHT. This explains a lot of what I do daily. Mostly I’m right😜 But when I’m wrong...I’m really wrong AND THAT is where MOST of my problems stem from...the rest R from when I’m RIGHT!🤪 Right?!! THANK YOU;-)
It's actually becoming hilarious Aaron, how each day our messages match almost exatctly. Here is my post from this morning, before you posted or I saw your video...'I made a big step forward in my healing yesterday, I forgave my mother. It didn't go as well as I hoped, but it went as well as could be expected and now it is done. I can move on to other parts of my journey and leave the bitter parts of the past behind. I actually felt weight lifting off of me as I said what I had to say, and the anger left me. I think people hold onto pain caused by others like a comfortable blanket, it's known, and it keeps everyone in their safe box of resentment, but it stifles new growth. I did this for my benefit, for my souls, because the only soul we can really heal and grow is our own. I choose this life before I was born for learning specific skills and to accomplish specific goals, I can now move into next phase, cleansed of the old..
Always feel very connected to everything you say. The work you are doing is amazing. I love to listen similar RU-vidr's, like someone would daily news. You remind me alot of myself in your manarisms, way you speak & the passion you have for all things esoteric. 💚✌🌼
