First of all: my apologies for start this video with foreign language greetings, which is in Portuguese and the meaning is: “Hi there all, I am Elvira from Personal and Spiritual Development”…”
( see the video at: https://youtu.be/PBU5mGnMXP4 )
We are who we are, with all parts of us. The part of us we show the most is that one we already recognize and embraced. However we all have shadow, which sometimes we are not yet prepared to show, for reasons those are unique for each one of us.
We are in process of evolution in our lives in Earth, and that is why we had the privilege to be born right here as humankind and we are here to learn, and to growth. It is part of this process to know who we are fully, and it is one ongoing process, with no beginning, no ending, as we are part of the infinite that all it is.
When we notice part of us that can seem negative to our perception, for some reason, for example: shame, we are detecting some part of us calling up to be brought out and worked on to be transformed. It is shadowing us in our journey to discover fully who we are.
So our shadow are part of us as the light side that we already recognized and had shown off. If we do not recognize our shadows, do not embrace it, do not bring it to the surface, we do not give ourselves the chance to heal it and release it. It is part of our natural process of self –healing.
In our personal and spiritual development, it is important we have that point in our mind, and heart, as if we wish to feel our soul’s presence in our human/mind life we must pay attention to those signs brought out.
For example: if we feel sad that means we are been called attention inside us that needs more attention, that is the signal that we want to be happy, and the sadness is showing up to alert us that we have to bring strength out to protect ourselves from something that is not right, but inside us.
It is like someone is serving us a dish that we don’t like, but doesn’t mean that it is not nutritious to our body.
Embracing our shadow, which is presented to us as imperfection those we carry within, means that we are recognizing it and giving ourselves the chance to accept it, doing so we are accepting what we are, then from this point on we will be able to improve ourselves as a being of light, which we commonly call the better person.
We cannot do too much over what we do not “recognize” first, embrace it, then domain it.
So our shadow works for us as our closest mirror, which are also shown to us through all the other energies around us. We reflect what we have inside us first, and we can see part of us through others as well, and constantly all our energies are moving back and forwards to help us to adjust and balance ourselves.
