I recently found your channel, Stormy. I am 74 and have never really done shadow work. Just honestly didn’t understand the process. But this one post out of pulled the rug out from under me. This prompt caused memories of when I was six years old to flood back into my consciousness! Now I can clearly (for the first time) see the deep work I need to do. Thank you for helping me on my journey. I would appreciate more shadow work journaling prompts! 🙏🏻💝
I'm 60 and have just started to get into shadow work. I've been working with tarot for about 2 years, so I am a newbie. "I have shit to learn" as you say. Life is always a school, whether you're on the playground or in class. Thank you for your time and help. I appreciate you.
Holly sh..t I didn't realized I was told so many times that I cannot buy a house, that love for life is BS, and does not exist, and that people are happier without me .. no guessing, yeah, I isolated myself, and attached also to quite toxic relationships etc. But I didn't realized THAT is this thing about limiting beliefs that I didn't know what exactly were. Thank you so much! I did this mirror exercise thing that are on some videos. It helped me but not enough. (However it helped me so much more than many years spending in a f** psychological therapy). Thank you!! May universe bless you
I had no idea of what shadow work was. I had heard the term, but had no idea what it is. The way you described it, explained everything in a way that is down to earth and relatable, is amazing. You are beautifully raw, and honest and real. You're clearly meant to be a teacher. I feel so grateful to have found this, I really needed it. Thank you so much!
This is my first time at attempting shadow work! I pretty much understand it . I just wanna let go of all the negativity I cling to unknowingly! I want to be the best me that I can!
I am completely new to shadow work, but after watching your videos I am confident of going forward with trying it .Nearly 70 yrs old, never too late eh? You have talked so clearly about it and its made it easy to understand, so thank you for that! I teared up re the singing trigger, having had a similar expereince in childhood.
I've been doing Shadow work since 2012, but I didn't know it was called shadow work, it wasn't necessarily directed, & I didn't use prompts. I just dove into myself with meditation, moments of vows of silence to cleanse my throat chakra, & quiet my spirit. I spent a lot of alone time reflecting & being with my thoughts. I have done a lot of journaling, & took a psychology class or two to understand my traumas. Looked into NLP. Kind of used affirmations, but those fell flat bc of the unhealed aspects of myself. Making affirmations more specific is definitely something I have to come back to though. I definitely paused my shadow work during the Pandemic, so.... It's definitely time to come back to myself. I was too focused on the world, it was unhealthy. But I'm here now. Thank you for this video. I have to go buy a new journal now. 🎶🌿🪷💖🫠💖🪷🌿🎶
This was perfect - such an amazing place to start this journey off. I've heard about shadow work and assumed that it had to do with resolving past traumas, but this really gave it a challenging yet effective way to begin. As I was watching, I was thinking back on some memories and caught myself hesitating...I came to answers to some questions that I never knew where to begin asking myself. So thank you, Stormie!!!! Your honesty and light shine through you; I feel so lucky to have found this video.
This video brought me to tears because EVERYTHING you have said is literally me (the self sabotage, fear of vulnerability and abandonment and feeling as though everyone was better off without me). I have a lot of work to do but this has been so soothing to listen to and actually understand. Thank you Stormie.
Im just starting getting into shadow work...I love your honesty and vibe! I have the same feelings of not being someone that anyone really wants to spend time on...and that's something I already know about myself...im interested (and a bit nervous) to find out what the other half of me is about. I had a best friend when I was young who thought she was the BEST singer (she really wasn't and would sing in my face, (super annoying)) every time I would try to sing, she told me that I couldn't and I was really horrible, so I never learned how or tried to sing ....still to this day (35 years old) I don't sing unless Im plastered or alone in my car. I just found your channel. I can't wait to watch your other videos! Much love to you! 💜
Thank you so much for the feedback and kind words. Don’t worry too much about what’s in your shadow, it’s all the parts that make you who you are, uncovering then just means you get to know yourself and love yourself a little more 💕
I have never heard of shadow work until my partner told me about it. I have a tendency to sweep my issues under the rug and I've reached a point in my life where I'm out of space or excuses to ignore the shadows I have. I recently purchased a tarot deck and I believe it will help me be able to separate from my emotions about it to be able to learn from my past and grow. I love the journaling prompts, if you had any more of those that would be amazing. Also, just any techniques on shadow work would be incredible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I just found out about your channel and I'm honestly loving it. I have a difficult relationship with spirituality (grew up in an extremely conservative household) and what I've found in other places that offer advice in this realm is just positivity 24/7. I am a really positive person myself, but I think I've reached the point where I need to balance that outlook so this video is perfect. Thank you so much for posting it!
I just wrote your whole video down in a journal because this needs to be re read again and i dont want to lose sight on what i learned today. took me the whole day with caption on but worth it.. ive been on a quest for years now. but i think the rainbow and sunshine stuff wasnt really helping and like you said you have to get under all that, which i see now things way more clearer. thanks to you and all you expressed in your video. you have a raw aspect to you, unlike some out there as i mentioned the rainbows and butterflies. i appreciate you Im a beginner, and still in the shadows myself because of my home life, i cant quite get out yet,
Im so grateful to hear that it was helpful, happiness is in the mind, try not to let your home circumstances force you into reactivity. How you respond to your circumstances is where your power lies. ;)
Jeez. Okay, so when the student ready the teacher will appear. For the past 2 weeks I've been heavily thinking on all of the trauma healing I need to do. You have just given me the push to now start. Thank you for your encouragement and I'm so glad I've found your channel.
While I've seen different counselors a few times in my life and I do love doing some self psychoanalysis my spiritual journey has been pushing tarot for the practice of going deeper. I have always struggled with the "love and light" path, knowing that the concepts were important but that the glitter was blinding most people from that balanced understanding of self, life and others. I'm working on collecting a few decks that I really resonate with and am committing to learning those deck for personal work. Was happy to find your videos! -- (I popped over here from your shadow work with tarot vid.)
I am someone who’s always been drawn to Wicca and now at 33 wants to learn more. I have never done shadow work but I would absolutely love more videos about it. I really enjoyed the first part but also would like prompts. So, more of everything! Your channel is awesome.
I can’t tell which video this comment is coming from exactly from the app I’m using but I do have a tarot and Oracle shadow work video if you haven’t seen it - this might be that video though, so if it is just ignore my rambling lol
First time doing shadow work. No knowledge at all about it had a reading was told blocked from my awakening and needed to do shadow work so exploring you tube for ideas on how to do this thank you for the information and prompt very hepful
When looking back at my child hood ,I have been through trama that I know has molded me to who I am now , my perspective on love and relationships with people/ family , and still this directs me to why I am independent, single mother and don't rely on anyone, I realized I have to treat myself kindly like a queen and love myself , because I need me to rely on Myself , I'm a loner too , and distance my self ..I need my space to regroup and I will turn my phone off with out a care if I have to.., thank you for this video I need to work on my shadow work, how do you handle the bad the ugly like war, growing up I had a step father who would get mad black out and didn't care who got hurt 🤕, I was never allowed to express what things went on at home just keept it in and it ruined me, and I had built up anger inside .
I cant tell you how to handle your own trauma because I think the path is different for everyone. However, I can tell you that I think compassion and forgiveness is the key to healing. Understanding that each person is in their essence a beautiful soul whose avatars are damaged and manifesting repeated cycles of pain out into the world, That it is not their essence, they aren't in touch with their truth when they behave that way, and its only because they too are in pain. Best wishes on your journey.
Just came across you while searching for how to shadow work and I got to say I love you... We could be friends you speak to my soul. Your energy is so refreshing I'm so tired of fake people.
Beginning stages again in shadow work...so glad I found your channel I have been looking for a year or two on good shadow work information.....your video was on point. I have found a mentor for this shadow work
I've too have just found your videos Stormy & I feel I have already done some Shadow Work but have much more to get through. Thank you for your wonderful guidance Stormy it's much easier to follow than other videos I have watched 💞💖💞
I understand the "concept" of shadow work but haven't really known how to heal my past trauma and triggers.... I use Tarot for healing and insight..... I just found you and resonate with your authenticity. Would love to hear more of how to begin and navigate the journey. So far, I love everything you've said. More, please. 💙🙏💙
Thank you Star, I have an entire shadow work playlist on my channel and yes, there will be more 🙏 I’d suggest maybe checking out the spring 2021 shadow work video for now and try to start aligning your growth with the natural cycles. Thank you 🙏
This video I'm watching right after watching Decks for beginner shadow work. So relieved to have found you, I definitely needed some guidance and a great start, which this definitely is.
Amazing video, thank you! Just found your channel and I'm loving your content and the way you present it. I've read a lot about shadow work and have been wanting -- correction, NEEDING -- to delve into it for a very long time and I think this video is the prompt I needed. Looking forward to more of your very insightful teachings.
I can’t wait to hear you sing!! 💖 I love how open and honest you are about everything and that you’re not trying to shove light down our throats. I try to make shadow work a routine that way I can take things in little chunks at a time or come back to bigger issues when I feel more ready. I think a good topic for a shadow work video would be combating when things you thought you had worked through come jumping back up in your face and that it is like most things in life a never ending practice. Cause we are always growing and evolving.
Thank you for your frank honesty and caring you bring a smile to my heart as I listen to you and find the inspiration to actually do ritual just for ME what a concept!!!!
i have semi- experience in shadow work. I usually start but never really deep dive. I love looking up journal prompts but they don’t really click so when i watched this video you really explained it behind every question. thank you I really appreciate your videos ! def will subscribe
Thank you for creating an incredibly honest video about shadow work. I know this is what I need to do, but have felt so overwhelmed by it. You have broken it down for me and gave me a jumping off point. Thank you!!!
Thank you for this video-it has made the process of shadow work seem like something I can do❤. I have watched a few videos, but yours is informative and somehow gives me a bit of ease-I am now getting started. This will be the first time doing shadow work
14:56 It’s amazing that you mention affirmations and how ineffective they are when Sandra from Mystery Witch School has said the same exact thing regarding shadow work. Thankfully, I’ve been too lazy to find personal mantras lol
Hi, Stormie. I found your channel a while back, and I just wanted to say I've been feeling called to do shadow work for a long time; I've been in an on and off relationship with it though, because the trauma from my past and abusive relationships really had a lot of deep wounds setting in. So, I think now, I'm committed to doing shadow work to the fullest extent, even if it puts salt in the wound or rehashes things I don't want to feel. Also, you have a cool voice. ❤ I absolutely love it. And you're really pretty. 😊
Hi Stormie. I hope you are doing well as I have noticed you haven't been posting for a while. To answer your question I have been doing shadow work a little, by doing Goddess journey's into the underworld (Inanna/Ishtar), but feel I need to go much deeper. I think I have uncovered a lot of darkness, and even past lives, or ancient karma from my ancestors as well, so that is something I want to go into deeper. Thank you for your honesty, humor, and for sharing your vulnerability and your knowledge. I hope you are okay and that you are coming back to share your brilliance with us here. You are appreciated
I have heard you sing and your voice is so beautiful! You literally sang in front of 20 ppl numerous times, you are crushing it! This video brought up so much shit for me. Thank you for being you! I love you so much💙
Thanks for recognizing my growth 😊 Singing really took me a while, but I’m glad I got through it. Which really begs the question: what do you love that you’ve been to afraid to do? 🙃 love you Courtney!
Hi. I'm new to the channel. This is actually my first video of ur channel. I'm also new to shadow work (& to my personal journey). I've heard about shadow work b4, but I would like to learn more. I definitely like the idea of diving deeper into a journal. That is something I do already is journaling. So it wouldn't be new to others I know if I'm in my journal all the time. Any way thanks for making this video. Will have to check out the rest of ur channel too. :)
Awesome! Welcome to the shadow work journey. Journaling is sooooo helpful. I’ll be making more shadow work journal content this month, I hope you can find it helpful ☺️
I just started shadow work! I am interested in more prompts and more methods~! Love this video super easy to understand and feels like a safe place for me to start my journey. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video!! I started getting interested in tarot about a year ago, and for a while now I've been trying to the work on myself... it's been frustrating. All of the affirmations and encouragement were there, but I never really understood HOW to actually apply any of it. It made me feel like I just wasn't doing any of it right and overwhelmed. I have watched other videos, but for some reason this video just really clicked with me and gave me some encouragement I needed. I guess I just expected magical rainbows like you said and that it would get easier...wrong lol!
I am not totally new to shadow work but I am interested in learning how other people do it, as I am still trying to find my pace after a proper breakdown about 10 years ago. And I know 10 years sound like a long time (and it is) but it is not easy to get out of a deep hole when you are digging alone. Thank you for sharing your way, much appreciated! xx
shiiiiiiiiit my journey has been long AF too, its takes the time that it takes, I get it. Thank you for the feedback, best wishes on your healing journey
This is a great intro video to shadow work! Im definitely going to use this and share this with others. That being said you are always welcome to dm me on social media with your vocal clippings. Would be honored and privileged to hear you sing. I love hearing you talk. I love your voice. You deserve to be heard. Many blessings!
Thank you for this video. I’m drawn to shadow work and am in the researching phase of what is shadow work, what journey am I about to embark? Now I’m in that confrontation phase of ‘Okay, Dustin, you’ve got the foundation now actually DO the thing.’ Your videos are so helpful and I really resonate with your personality and when you talked about having a small circle of friends. Preach on, sister!
I'm brand new. I'm not really sure how to do it, I know I need to journal and these journal prompts really help. Honestly this video made it make so much more sense to me. Thank you! I would like to learn more regarding meditation and shadow work, if that's a thing. I'm trying to learn how to meditate.
You’re so fucking adorable. I wish you were my neighbor, we could def swap some shit. Thanks for being honest. I’ve been on the path for a while and know the importance of shadow work. Its so refreshing to see an honest approach. It sure as shit ain’t all rainbows and sunshine! Getting to work now with your prompts 🙏🏻✌️
Thanks for the video on Shadow Work for beginners. I've been needing this for a long time but wasn't sure where to start. I appreciate your honest down to earth video style making this difficult subject easier to approach. I'm looking forward to more videos on this subject. 🥰
It's so weird to me when people comment on the sound of my voice because I've been super insecure about it for a long time, I always thought I sounds nasally, and annoying, and I speak too fast and slur my words together. Comments like yours are allowing me to hear my self differently and build my confidence, thank you so much!
Im just starting with shadow work . I was interested in it a long time but I was never really ready to dive into my shadows but now i'am 🤗 and thank you for your video it is so good !. And I would like to see more about shadow work journaling,working with tarot in shadow work and shadow in general lol
Definitely a beginner. I really enjoyed your video! Please make more! I love the journal prompts. Any idea for when you done with the journal…do you keep it, review it again later on, burn it, or what?
I keep it, and I like to review them periodically. For instance. Maybe I’ll go backs no see what I was writing exactly a year ago or 2 years ago. Maybe I just thumb though it. You’ll start to recognize more patterns in yourself over time from re-reading your journal.
Thank you for this video. I just typed “shadow work with tarot” and you popped up. I’m brand new to the concept so your journal prompts are super helpful and I’m excited to implement them. I have a LOT of unpacking to do (as are most of your other commenters I’m sure ).
I am so happy I came across your post this morning. I was actually unaware I how much I needed to do this. Your prompts made so much sense and so helpful, especially when asking self for permission. I feel like a weight has lifted. Thankyou 🙏
People telling kids (or anyone) that they 'can't sing' make me SO ANGRY!!! Like proper Hulk smash angry. Humans are as physiologically equipped and as 'meant' to sing as birds are. In other cultures, everyone sings, just as a way of day to day life. There's no question of whether people 'can sing' or 'can't sing'. Singing is as much as learned skill as any other musical instrument, or indeed any other art or sport. If people are just 'talented' in singing, singing teachers like me shouldn't exist. In fact most of my students who were told they 'cant sing' actually have beautiful voices. They're just afaid to share them with the world. And that's a fucking shame, frankly. The world isn't getting to hear their beautiful voice, and they aren't getting to share their gift and their joy, what lights them up, with the world. :( Stormie, if there's any way I can help you with your voice, I do online lessons and I would be very happy to give you my honest professional opinion on your voice, help you train it and get super confident about sharing it with the world. Whatever you choose to do, please know that it's not just self indulgent to share your recordings with your community on social media. you're them showing what lights you up and makes you feel alive. you're showing them your Brave. And the world needs more of that energy!
Awwweeee thank you so much for this ☺️ I sang in front of someone just a couple days ago. I’m doing really well with this at the moment. Finally getting over this hurdle. Thank you so much for the offer and for everything you do for the world.
Thanks again Stormie. Just learning about shadow work. I'm all ears! Your videos are so real. You've helped me along my journey so much. Much love sent your way!
Hey, great video. If you haven't already, could you do some more on prompts and maybe a few examples of issues or situations? The singing one was a great example to learn from. Best wishes, G.
Awesome video Stormie! Thank you for sharing this. I'm in the beginning stages of shadow work and I know that this will help me a lot. I appreciate it.
Your videos are amazing and your singing voice deserves to be heard! 🥰 I haven't really focused specifically on my shadow work ever because I didn't really know how. I did have some things show up, but I'm ready to speed up my healing process. This video is a great help and I'm definitely going to give this a try! Thank you ✨
Hi! Thanks for this video, I’m brand new to shadow work. I’ve always wanted to do it though. I definitely don’t believe in the rainbows and butterflies world. Thanks for being real thought out this video. :)
I needed this today! I love all your content. Somehow everything you say just makes sense to me. I have been missing something in my practice and you have helped me so much! Keep the videos coming!!
Thank you for all the time and work you put into making this video I think it speaks to a lot of people in ways that they can understand. Please continue with this series on Shadow work and as far as what direction to pursue from here in this discussion, if you feel it I would love to hear it💕
I am brand new to shadow work, could you please give more information on how shadow work effects mental health. Not saying too much but my dramatic childhood experience is my reason for having mental health problems and I hear that shadow work is bad for people with such issues? 🥰 love your videos FYI.
Im not a licensed therapist, so to be honest I cant comment on that. However what I can tell you is that Shadow work is based on therapeutic practices and techniques. It comes from the work of Carl Jung - one of the grandfathers of psychology. I've read comments from people who say you cant do it if you have a lot of trauma. As someone who has had a lot of trauma I disagree but will say that if youre not comfortable on your own you can ask a therapist to do it with you. They are educated in Carl Jungs work, its Psychology 101. Best Wishes
I'm new to this, this is the beginning for me. I would like to know more methods and how to conclude an area that is showing up. I'm sure shadowing is needed in my life to move forward into the best me. Thank you
Hi stormy! I am really glad that I came across this video while trying to find ways to start my journey on this. your prompts and way of describing it connected with me. thank you :)
Finally, the much-awaited video arrived, loved it. I can't wait to start my shadow work journey, my lazy ass was waiting for your prompts to start it. In the future please give prompts for a relationship with money healing. IDK why but subconsciously I believe I am not worthy or I am born middle class so I cant become rich.
Hi! I just recently found your channel and I can honestly say I really care for your videos! They are extremely personal and real. Thank you. 🖤 Shadow work is my absolute go-to and I try to work on it weekly. I really enjoy using the tarot for my shadow work. Do you have any reccomend tarot spreads or tarot methods for your shadow work?
Thank you so much! My next shadow work video will be a tarot video, it’s been consistently requested. In the mean time: a simple 3 card draw is my default. Nothing fancy, just nice a simple usually with straight tarot. However, I do like “the oracle of the shapeshifter” as a nice addition.
Thank you! Simple spreads are always my favorite. I feel like you can get more accomplished with a three or four card spread rather than 10+ cards. It just muddies the waters for me if that makes sense lol.
Thank you for this video! I am beginning my Sjadow Work journey and this helps tremendously ❤ i would be interested in seeing more Journaling prompts. And do you recommend 1 prompt per week?
