Welcome to this shadow integration work meditation.
Take a moment to come back to yourself.
Just simply being relaxing into yourself and taking a few deep breaths.
Relax your nervous system,
Your body,
Your mind,
Your senses and simply enjoy your presence.
Whatever thoughts,
Emotions come up,
Allow them to be and at the same time don't hold on to them.
Come to a neutral,
Empty point.
The spaciousness of your beingness.
Now from here,
Conjure up a shadow side of you,
Something dark or perceived as negative which you have perhaps repressed in you or it's hidden in you or that it's not acceptable by you.
And you can always detect them by detecting your triggers.
So you can recall those moments when you were triggered and then track the exact shadow that you want to work with today.
It's like it's going inside to bring that shadow hiding in the cave.
And you can imagine this shadow as a being,
Whatever it is,
You can name it.
And first notice that it's not trying to be seen,
It wants to hide.
It wants to stay there in the cave of darkness.
But now slowly you start to approach this shadow as a friend.
You accept it,
You see it,
You understand it.
You can even talk with your shadow here and just make a friendly environment where you are seeing it,
Accepting it and understanding it,
Giving it voice without any judgment or opinion.
So you can take your time to do that now.
So you can take your time to do that now.
And once you're familiar with it,
You can even ask what is the benefit or the upside or the positive that it contains?
Because each shadow comes with something that you can take away.
Now fully see the benefit of that,
Fully see the upside of that shadow.
Maybe it protects you,
Maybe it gives you a sense of power,
Maybe it gives you pleasure.
No matter what the upside is,
Just also acknowledge that fully.
Now you can even ask how can you integrate that part of that shadow without becoming that shadow fully.
In a way you can imagine this shadow coming into your light,
Merging with you.
Rather than you being sucked by that.
And as it merges,
You become better,
You become more whole,
You become more powerful.
Because this shadow,
This darkness exists with you.
Because this shadow,
This darkness exists within you.
So you see it as it is,
Along with all the positive sides of you.
This shadow is also existing and we cannot deny,
Repress,
Suppress any of that.
And now you become grateful for this shadow.
Because it showed you something that you never saw before.
You always judged it,
You always saw only the negativity of that or the downside of that.
But now you're letting this shadow be integrated within you as the person you want to be truly.
And therefore you can also trust yourself more that with the integration of this shadow,
You're actually going to be a better person.
Because if we do reject that shadow,
It is still within us and then it's going to leak in our actions and words and thoughts without us getting to know it.
Giving it a stage to shine.
So therefore we merge it so that there is nothing outside of you.
Something to be judged,
Something to be hated,
Something to be neglected.
You see yourself as everything,
Every person with every character trait.
And only from this point,
From this deep acceptance and acknowledgement of you as everything,
Including this shadow,
You can choose the highest version of you,
Moment to moment.
Because this shadow is now your friend.
Because this shadow is now your friend.
It's on your side to make you the best person that you can be and to be of service to others in the highest way possible.
Now you can choose this highest version of you without any trigger or neglection or judgment of that shadow.
You only choose the best for you and for others because that's what you want to do from a holistic place.
It's a free choice that you make.
But that free choice only is available to those who have integrated their shadows.
So let this shadow completely merge with you.
Allow it,
Accept it,
Appreciate it,
Understand it,
Integrate it.
And then trust yourself.
Now with this shadow,
Now with this new person that you are,
You're going to do even better things because there's nothing that is not you.
And who you want to be is now a free option for you.
It's truly available for you to be who you want to be.
Because there's no opposition now,
Nothing against you.
It's only you and you.
And then allow yourself to come back.
And with this new integration,
With this new embodiment,
Go ahead and live your life with a new energy,
With a new perspective,
With a new energy.
And then you can be who you want to be.
And don't forget to always forgive yourself,
Have compassion for yourself when you do get sucked into another shadow and then you repeat this work again and again until you become this person who is the highest version of you.
And now go,
Choose who you are.
