Shadow work is necessary and a key component of evolution and the path to ascension. Yet it can also become an addiction, and entrap you in the lower aspects of yourself if you do not consciously pull yourself out. I explain this more in the video, and the importance of doing so.
Video I mentioned-

I've found this absolutely to be the case in my life too. There was stages in my life where I spent MULTIPLE YEARS trying to "heal" my old self, and heal the "tramaus", which for sure is necessary, BUT at the same time when I REALLY started to heal and move forward is when I decided to DROP the pain and the limitation and the fears, and LET MYSELF be who I really want to be. THAT'S when the resistance started to fall away for me. Great video Heather! Thanks for being one of the people that inspires me to post videos every single day! Much Love 🙏

Coming back into the light is literally a part of shadow work.

The healing trap is something I had to do shadow work on, lol;) I connected with the (inner child) parts that feel unloved by me when I always demand healing. I told them and still directly tell them/myself that they are loved and accepted. That's shadow work, unconditional acceptance. It took some time in my shadow work journey to learn what love is! Now that I've set healthy boundaries and take care of myself, my heart was safe enough to open up, and it TRULY CHANGES EVERYTHING. Still, it's only recently that my stuckness shifted, bc I realised that subtle codependency was hindering my creativity. No matter how hard shadow work you do, beware of the relationships around you. Being the fixer in relationships was my biggest blindspot. Now that I am in love with myself FIRST, my creativity got moving. I'm not stuck anymore! And the fun is easy! Much love💖💖💖

I’ve fallen in this trap quite a few times. It led me to believe I needed to stop shadow work and that became a cycle as well. I believe it all comes down to the core beliefs/expectations of what we truly want (or intending to achieve) through the work. If this is peace, then the answers to this strange cycle that has been created will have light shed on it . If it is desiring the reward of a perceived “deeper” sense of self awareness, then the cycle may be more strenuous until a simpler intention comes to the surface. This is what happened to me, I didn’t understand that my intentions weren’t as clear to me as I thought they were. And now, Just like sensing any energy, I now can (more easily) sense when I should be embodying the blossom of my work and innate wholeness, feeling the sun that is the present moment. and sensing when I should nestle into the dark soil (though full of nutrients) and deepen my roots to discover the large rocks that lay deep below (within) so that I may wrap my roots of awareness around them.

@tasiadupree 2 года назад

Some of us do shadow work to heal from lifelong traumas, molestation, manipulation, growing up in poverty, having lots of dead friends, and basically the cycle of suffering on general. It's not always about being some kind of spiritual self improved guru. Some people need to do shadow work just to live an even remotely normal or healthy life. It's less about self improvement and more about self discovery, understanding, and acceptance. But shadow work is never complete until it rouses the deepest levels of compassion, empathy, and unconditional love for everyone else who suffers literally because you know what the deepest levels of suffering feel like, and you'd never want anyone else to suffer so deeply. We may think we have done enough shadow work, but shadow work is never done. And shadow work isn't about staying in your traumas and focusing on negative aspects. In fact, the idea of shadow work comes from Jungian Psychology and many times our strengths, virtues, and the good things about ourselves are stuffed back into the shadow. Shadow work isn't always darkness either. It's not about the darkness. It's about shining light on all the areas that have been shoved into the shadow. Shadow work isn't just for ourselves either, it's for the world. Do you think the world and humanity is healed up yet? That there are no more thieves, or rapist, or even people who date more than one person at a time and hurt people in the process.... The shadow work is never done.

@jessicavorheis8405 2 года назад

Hand up to this! Damn. It's like I enjoy the grind of "healing". A few weeks ago I realized that I think I'm comfortable in that space. The thought of moving into a different space, a space of joy, happiness, being hyped and ecstatic.. it makes me anxious sometimes. Like, my mind is not used to that as the norm. Sadly, it's unfamiliar and not a daily vibe I habitate in. I love how you said that your strength is choosing love. I want that to be my strength too. Where I choose joy and happiness always. And I think what I have to do is buck up, let it feel uncomfortable to be happy.. no matter how lame that sounds. And eventually it won't feel uncomfortable. I'm just so used to "healing" and also just operating in stress and a lack mentality which keeps me putting off the things that light me up.

@lookwithinandsee 2 года назад

I could have written this myself! 🤗

@marydlf 2 года назад

Yes, I’ve definitely been in this space in the past 5 years when I started delving into my shadow. I came out of a very traumatic situation and the work needed to be done. It’s very easy to fall into this trap if you’re into personal development,however I have learnt that it’s all normal, everyone faces karma and it’s part of our human evolution journey. I have embraced myself with radical self acceptance and have released the shame that there is something broken and wrong with me and other people are “better”. It was relieving and heart warming. Thank you for this message dear Heather ❤️✨🙏🏼 As you said,we are whole and complete every second,from the beginning we came into this world. Embracing our inner child,doing what we love and brings us happiness is the meaning of life and essential part of our journey as well 💙💚💛❤️ Namaste 🕉❤️✨🙏🏼

@Danasdivinations 2 года назад

Oh my goddess I needed this so bad 🙏🏻 I’m so stuck in this trap 😭 It’s so hard for my to pull myself out of the shadow. And to even let myself feel the shadow because I don’t want to be “depressed”. It’s hard to really discern what to do on a daily basis and I feel like I’m always judging myself.

@eden-9926 2 года назад

I feel you on this, love 💗😊 totally understand what you’re meaning! I have learnt, that self compassion is the way to self-mastery (at least one of the “main keys” haha) - and never self criticism! Xx

@doreenibeh 2 года назад

This literally came at the right time, I just realized I was in the loop and needed to get out of it because infact my light and my dark makes me whole. I can’t be one without the other. And this is all the confirmation I needed that I can balance healing and living💜

I am defenetely caught in this trap right know.. Thank you for pulling me up.🙏🏼 This motivated me to want to go sleep, dance, paint & be weird whenever I f*cking feel like it 🐠 Thank you for reminding me that I don't need to look after ways about how to be "perfect", because I already am. 🦋 We experience, we learn, we grow. 🌹

@liriarose 2 года назад

Going through the most intense Dark Night right now, but facing those shadows and fears head on! I know that things are about to get magnificent. Heather, very similar to your story when you were traveling alone, phone died, creepy man- you remained calm and spoke Light Language for the first time and he didn't harm you. Something VERY similar just happened to me in Austin and was able to get myself safely out with just my words and intuition. One day I would love to play flute on your music... so grateful to be reconnecting with your beautiful soul. You are an inspiration to many. I'm looking forward to pulling myself out of the darkness once again to rise. Love you!

@JediBunny 2 года назад

Never thought of it this way. I’m always spinning my wheels on putting myself out there and trying to help others because I worry I’m “not healed enough”… but then I’m negating sharing the whole _process_ of healing with others that can be just as important, if not more so.

The truth is to live freely in this present moment...freeing yourself from the past and expectations of the future!..to fully be here ...in the now...that's the true healing ♡

@connordowlin7266 2 года назад

Thanks Heather. The healers trap is essentially a tricky disguise of the ego, convincing yourself you will be "healed in the future." Which creates more of "healing in the future".

@cartooneyed 2 года назад

I don’t know if I’m the only one but when things are „too good“ I start to feel anxious. This weekend has been the most beautiful days this year. I painted, baked bread, spent time in the pool or forest. Spend time with my favorite people. Ate a lot of good food. Spend time in the sun 24/7. On one hand I was wishing for this days to never end. But on the other hand I was waiting for darkness to arise from within me. I didn’t trust the good and I felt like I could not surrender completely. Felt like there was something cooking on the stove and I had to watch out for it all the time. My past self was waaaay more relaxed. Even with depression or sadness, I never had anxieties. I was allowing me to have bad days and bad months and I intuitively understood that this is not forever and it’s a phase I need to grow through so my soul becomes richer. I was 14, 15, 17 I understood this. But now I’m 25 and I feel like I need to be happy 24/7 and have it all figured out for me.

@rachel-xk2qv 2 года назад

Your advice comes in divine timing as always. I have been in the healing trap for years, especially since I suffer with low self-esteem and am very critical of myself, pinpointing all my flaws. It feels like I'm not trying to heal myself but trying to fix myself. At this point in time, I'm exhausted from it. I just want to live and I really feel that it is time to go easy on myself and feel alive again. And I've been doing much better recently as I've allowed myself to do that, it makes me feel proud of myself because I know that a few years ago I would not be able to live in the moment without being so consumed by my anxiety and emotions. love you

@awakenow7147 9 месяцев назад

Hope you're doing even better now. I'm currently in the healing trap myself, and struggling to emerge from it. I can't help but feel anger towards "personal development" culture for not alerting me about this sooner.

Thank U I have been stuck in the Darkness and Healing Trap for Too Long i have no idea how long it has been. I have been aware that i have been in a Darkness abysss and knew i had to Leave and Enter the Light and Love but have been Afraid! But this Video has helped me a Bit.

This is SO well spoken, Heather! Everything you said word for word just 👍👍👍💗😊. I’ve had to learn my own lessons with this “healer’s trap”, and I’ve personally learnt that shadow work is as easy as breathing. It don’t need to be some doom and gloom dark rabbit hole to spiral into hahaha it’s just all fun and JOY is the greatest alchemy.. just what I’ve learnt for myself. 💗

@RoseRebirth. 2 года назад

I have recently been thrown off balance by certain people that reverted back to their old behaviour patterns, this triggered old trauma wounds, but like you said, I felt it, processed it and sent them/me and the issue love, light and healing and then carried on doing things that made me happy 😊 I kept it moving! Even though it’s hard because the ego doesn’t like it, it’s the most beautiful, loving and kindest thing to do for everyone’s highest good 💜

@Infinite_exhilaration 2 года назад

My 1st lesson was learning that years ago, for years, I was doing all this personal development work, because internally I didn’t feel enough, but if I knew that one thing, I could unlock my charisma and be magnetic, and all my problems would be solved My 2nd lesson was after studying for 5-6+ years, I felt that learning such as watching a video like this, listening to a podcast or audiobook was a waste of time because “I already know all of this” it’s like my cup was already full, yet I felt trapped and there was something missing I’m honestly feeling stuck as I’m writing this.. what’s that next evolution or step look like? Well I’m done a pretty great job of cultivating self love, becoming healthy and honoring my body, but now I’ve learned it’s up to me, so will see where this goes

@Vanderful_life 2 года назад

even if I don't walk in your shoes I feel you, and can resonate with you my next step is to remove distraction, really disconnect from online energy which pulls me apart and go to nature, do retreat for some time, reflection and asking myself questions which were not answered yet for now I'm going very wide instead of funnel myself to just few projects "jack of all trades master of one" but I rather to see it as multipotensialist - but hey you can be anything but not everything, they say,,, I follow all beautiful habits, and feeling messy - with becoming best version of myself but at speed of two steps forward one step backward
