For a lot of people, the term shadow work conjures up all kinds of negative and dark associations. Because of those associations we have with the word shadow, it is easy to think that shadow work is a dark spiritual practice or that it is internal work that involves the more negative or sinister aspects of our personality. In truth, neither is the case. So what exactly is the human shadow? In this episode, Teal explains what shadow work is exactly.

my dad helped me but i messed it up. im had bubbles on the wall. trying to paint it look nice or something to try. i was doing windows tht was saved somehow that something to do with netbook. i need thoughts which are elswhere and the colours maybe so i could forget about that hair thing aswell. even though that could affect me and the thoughts and the way i feel about them or to do with the ones i had already. but i left it. cauliflower i probably needed that could help. yeah maybe not good but i was feeling better and fixed or tried loads of things carry on with life cause thats me already the hair and me already having settings before my sister and my hair sorted the backgarden. but whatever. i could fall asleep with a candle and wake up on time somehow or maybe not okay and know about possibly not knowing about it and knowing about it and the same time and knowing that i might not know and know things me already knowing that and the netbook thing. caried on like that whatever i was doing. that could affect me but id be fine if i had these settings dont have worry about the keyboard. or guitar. cause i dont know much there maybe. i need these settings so i can fix the tv and have maybe that right aswell maybe. or to check tv.
i need that so i can help me i need these settings to have me help me. also so i can be there to maybe help someone else. could be something unstable due to me taking care of my health and possibly knowing information to do with others maybe. and the settings. to do with them i might know information to do with them. the drugs as a child the decision was fine and somehow couldve helped with other things around happening. there all alive people anyway. and me too. That was my kitten. cat of my sisters he became that day. the previous day another cat got runover and two other cats became mine also. other than the one which i already had. that day i was also at school and a football hit my head. i might have not know i was leaving too uk. the kitten that was mine. my sisters cat now coming with us as something maybe he wanted to get a passport. my sister said she wanted to try too. i might not remeber much that with the cat. relation or something me and kitten. our relationship. i did a hole above a window when we moved elswhere and the cat my sisters now was also in the room and another one "Ruby" another sisters cat. kitten at the time. they were both on the bed together. My sisters cat. My kitten "Klement" , "Pandzia"something like that. him dying recently they put him to sleep. i need these settings.
yeah thats maybe why i need these settings but because of the information i know i might need to share it. i might have to share it. whether or not there may be a need. because of the responsibility of mine to care for my health. and also me having other stuff happen in advance of me hitting my head maybe again in future too that i had these settings even though those settibgs and that hair on its own that could be affecting me and the straightening of my hair etc could also help and yeah that it would still be me cause i do that as a person and sort of have informstion to do with energy levels that could be my own and my family memebers sisters learning off of that. they helped me with settings but i could need that. i cant really do much even if i can its important these instruments and me so i can cook and stuff. organise the way i do personally i tried also to care fpor that while also having a baby and needing information to do with whatever it was and that that possibly could help me when i can organise again that i could take care so i can do whatever the way that i do that myself.
this might be something that you might want to know. this person is commenting like that. @madzia772
i probably shouldnt know maybe or something to do with that. it could be and my blue finger all better it came back that did. the vitamin d couldve helped too and antibiotics etc. too and paracetamoland stuff aspirin and i probably should drink alcohol so i dont have too little acohol. i might need drugs but i need settings aswell. i was maybe supposed to have antidepressants unrelated to mental health or something maybe but i might actually not need those antidepressants i got to after maybe taking into account all these things in my life. maybe not or maybe still but i might need that medication off the netbook around this time. me taking drugs i have settings that its unrelated to whatever or who ever is taking drugs or for whatever reason. i was taking ecstacy last year i was okay. i stopped and probably shouldnt touch settings or something i needed medication. though i took it before i ended up messing up the settings. took ecstacy afdter mssing the settings cause that could help maybe. and vitamin d in hospital they gave before i left. the ecstacy could help with this heartbeat in my stomach orn also with getting the correct medication in hospital maybe too even though it could also be to feel better.
You have to go to your darkest side to see whats blocking the light.
Richard Lam Now THAT was profound! I am stunned by the originality and insight you have gifted us with!!!
OMG +Ricky L - that is so true. I just fixed mine, never even knew it was there but thank god I can see it now. I rather be good and sacrifice avoid pain than i WOULD hurt someone to get what i want.
ua-cam.com/video/kqegH08A9iE/v-deo.html through expression
Darkness is scary only when we lack faith but it will be conquered :)
if you really need to go to the dark side to "see" what blocking the light, your a blind fool that never have his light on from the start.
Too true! I have a theory the reason people change when drunk is that they lose the ability to suppress their shadow side.
exactly, and they have the excuse to let loose and be themselves and blame it on alcohol...it sucks how much we suppress
Turquoise Supreme omg that is sooooo me 🤔 x
when you are drunk you open yourself to possession. which is why alcohol is called spirits.
Turquoise Supreme Alot of altered states can reveal so much unconscious material. Dance,drugs,meditation etc..
Xdark_dreamsX what seems idiotic and hilarious is in fact the truth. Alcohol is derived from an Arabic term called al-Khul which means “body eating spirit” when consuming it extracts the very essence of the soul there for allowing it to be more susceptible to neighboring entities most of which are of low frequencies. This is why if you drink too much you black out and when this happens the soul you were sent here with leaves your body staying connected on a tether. This is when the demonic possession occurs and your body is taken for a joy ride. Our bodies are cars for spirits. If one leaves another hops in to experience this gift of being human. Research what I’m saying, knowledge is free. Speaking upon this makes me fathom it more. Gratitude for you all.
Shadow work is the most important work I've ever done. It is difficult work but it has been the greatest blessing in my life. Blessings to all on this journey.
Laurie Marinelli well said. And the grace in your voice is the fruit of proof. Thank you. I feel blessed by reading your words and feeling your heart.
I am in the process of this shadow work. It's hard but I want to be liberated of being me.
Laurie can you share some techniques ? 🙏
@@RinaldoIshak how to do it
How’s your journey going?
Children are to be seen and not heard...now I know why I’m so self conscious about talking in front of a bunch of people...smh...I’m trying so hard to heal my true self and finally live!
I send you a lot of courage and love, I’ve been there and it’s only on my early adult that I realized I had bad anxiety to connect with people knowing that in the conversation am always in my own head thinking to say or not say, wich word to use etc
"Shadow work is the highest form of light work that you can do" Yassssss
What it means by light work I have leaning difficulties
The method should be called "light work" because it's about giving light to things of yourself.
I literally can't believe am running into this in 2024🤦. Anyway let the journey begin.
You ever feel like you're at war with yourself?
BlackStone H Thats what war is. A group acting from under a common shadow.
***** I have encountered the same problem...hehe
BlackStone H Read the "Power of Now" The author writes about the internal conflict between the 'I' and 'myself'. Being at war with yourself is surely a human condition we all face.
viclloyd1 Or watch Star Wars. Remember when Yoda told Skywalker to go into the cave of illusions ?
BlackStone H - Everytime I watch her videos. There's the light part of me, that's trying to take in the information, improve ones self, be a better person, understand consciousness a bit better ... and so on.
Then there's that little bastard within me, trying to remind me of all the dirty and filthy things it wants to do to her.
:)
I can’t believe how precise and how heartwarming and validating this has been. Thank you.
I wish I had seen this 17 years ago when I first became a mother. Or heard this message for myself, when I myself was a child.
You're hearing it now 🧡
This is a great basic explanation of the shadow. Thanks, Teal. Well done. Even Jung became frustrated when people over-analyzed the shadow saying (in effect) "No! The shadow is simply the unconscious!"
shadow work is a term used to describe becoming more aware of yourself, and what's TRULY going within you. its Awareness..... self awareness, and understanding. And re-feeling old wounds. Good job as always dear Teal, love and namaste
You have what's probably the coolest name I've ever heard!
hahahhaaaaaaa, thanks Eyus soul partner friend!!!
*****: You don't actually have to recreate the experience to feel again what happened. Sometimes you can just think about it. Or, a certain aspect of that experience can trigger a response. Like when a care backfires and the subject thinks they're back in a warzone.
That happens too. :-)
+Little Bear actually, no, the wound will NOT heal naturally by leaving it alone. Having an understanding of how emotional suppression is directly related to chronic physical illness is where shadow work/bio-energetic work comes in.
There is a lot of ignorance out there on this area and it is only until we have and recover from an illness THROUGH emotional expression that you come to realize that many people are NUMB to their blocked emotions. Understand that emotions that are blocked is energy that is blocked (emotions=energy in motion). Therefore, when you are numb to shame and anger, that stuff simply will NOT come out naturally unless you do the practices to move the energy. That's true healing as it is integration. Trauma that is suppressed gets stored within the cellular structure of the body (DNA) in the form of memory and that is what manifests in the body as physical disease. Your body is your greatest communicator. Most people are so out of touch with their bodies, that they have no idea that their bodies are trying so desperately to reach out to them to let them know that there is emotion that is crying out to be expressed. You can try all you want to ignore it, or to just observe it, but even if you don't feel the emotions per say in the form of sadness/shame/anger, they WILL manifest in the body as a last resort to get your attention as physical disease. It's simply how manifestation works. You won't hear this though from any Abraham Teachings, because they don't understand how physical disease works in the contexts of emotions.
There is simply no avoiding this kind of work. It is so misunderstood in spirituality. It often takes a physical illness which is your body's way of waking you up to the fact that there is emotions that NEED to be expressed for us to realize that this work is vital.
Im a Scorpio light and shadow worker. Every end and middle of the spectrum is fine with me. I feel whatever comes with fullness. I'm not a bread crust I am a kicking screaming fighting loving human being 💙💜❤💚💛 Thank you I love you 💞
Amazing. I’m 26 years old and as I’m watching this video today, I indeed recognize that my shadow could definitely use some light after years of being avoided. Point Blank. If I wish to reach my highest potential, I have got to integrate my light with shadow. Blessed be and Namaste!
THAAAANK YOU TEAL, it's weird how you release a video that helps me right when I need it, actually I guess it's not that weird. The universe brings what we need:)
me too!! these days im suffering because of triggers and these negative imprint that i really had to deal with are shame and rejection. what a nice coincidence teal :))
Shame is a terrible feeling, but im starting to learn that people are more accepting than we think, we just have to accept our self first.
Random Dude hi, what's the solution to overcome shame? releasing it by feeling it? or by crying about the eventy that make you feel unworthy? and therefore relasse the idea of unworthyness or the deserve of punishment?
Random Dude yo dawg i heard you like shame. so i told everyone about all your dark secrets.
Zay Guru Music you have said it for me thanks namesta !
Love the content! The maniacal laugh at 7:25 mark is Epic! yep, shadow works certainly feels like dying sometimes, and getting over it yields better self-awareness and potential for spiritual growth. Namaste, Teal!
Imagine a dark room that contains all that hidden stuff, now imagine that you turn on a very powerful and illuminating light, now you are able to see everything in there, now its your desicion to keep them with you or to dispose them.
Not dispose, heal. Because it is still you in there. Maybe a scared child that needs millions of hugs.
For all the wisdom and instructions on better self-awareness in her videos, I have to admit the reason I keep coming back and subscribed to this channel is because I live for those adorably awkward laughs.. 🥰
Change is comin' through my shadow!!
***** :)
Change is comin', now is MY TIME!
Listen to my muscle memory !
Fuc yeah brah
Contemplate what I've been clinging too!!!!!
I love Teal. I truly do. You taught me how to get close to myself.
Not long ago I came across something about Carl Jung's shadow projections. I was looking up something completely different. It came at precisely the right time.
There were a number of things that led to up to it that showed me I needed to work on my negative side.
I have to go slow with it as it causes a lot of anxiety. I even willed myself back into what many would call a "normal" mind state only to realize that it isn't as good down there.
As time goes on I am sure I will be led into the best course of action for dealing with my negative side and all the other repressed things.
Karmic Beats Carl Jung 46 and 2
I once was given a taste of what it feels like to see and hug the darkness. A hint was given to me in a dream. And I acted on it right after waking up. It felt like a miracle to me. Followed by crying on my knees for about 30 minutes. But then. Then it turned into the most amazing feeling of love and respect for myself.
So I was given a free sample I believe. Since then I had many litte revelations. But nothing that can be compared to that one.
Only after watching this video I realised what it really was. Thank you for putting those little pieces together for me.
You are an angel. 💗
fzuzka doesn’t sound like those pieces were little. Good work Good blessing 👍❤️
Excellent summary of what shadow work is. And I love that there are so very many ways to shine light on our shadows, healing them. I've had great success using hypnotherapy and shamanic soul retrieval ceremony.
Thank you, Teal! ☘
Happy healing to everyone reading this. ☘
That last line about shadow workd being real work was brilliant! Thanks Teal for your inspiring words. It actually put a smile in my face when you described it as the highest form of light work.
When she said “ we are born whole” my mouth dropped bc I can honestly say I can’t remember the last time I was whole damn. Definitely brought up old feelings. Great video though
Beautifully and eloquently explained, so many important and insightful points were made.
Haha I am just learning this theory from Carl Gustav Jung for my university degree right now. Not even my professor can explain it as well and easy to understand like her. Teal Swan helping me doing my exams. I love that. ♥
This hit me harder than I ever expected..
Let the work begin.
Now it makes sense why I stayed a couple extra years in academia just so I could graduate. I was suppressing my love for writing music during that time and ended up detaching myself from feeling any validation of accomplishing anything other than my dreams. In the end it gave me clarity on at least once aspect about myself, which is that, when pushed to the lowest vibration, I know I can make the choice between love or fear. Sometimes you just have to appreciate your own "curriculum".
This is exactly what I needed to find. I’m always absolutely astounded at the insights I see in my dreams. It’s so obvious that my subconscious knows exactly what is going on and has to wait til I’m asleep to show me. Anger/rage, isolation, fear, euphoria, creative flow. I know these in my dreams in a way I simply never have in waking life.
Thank you Teal. I finally understand what Shadow Work is. 🙏🙏🙏
Give Teal my support. My wish is that she not ever be troubled by her haters out there. I understand how it feels being the only one standing for truth among liars. She has my full love and support 💕💕 Thank you
Awesome! Pleeease make a Video on jealousy and aging, that would be fantastic! I'm sure lots of ppl would enjoy
CupNoodleKitty this is what I need too!
I love it when she laughs! Ive noticed in many of her videos or her live lectures she really has such a cute sense of humor!
Love her! She really has helped me so much !! I am very very grateful😊
3:56- 4:52 I feel exactly like this... finally someone understands and there are words for it :,) I am working on assertiveness with my counsellor, as it is.Lately, I have noticed that all that bottled anger is coming out by trying to be more assertive and 6:52-7:24 made me realise why my relationships have failed and why I always seem unhappy. I understand why now :) Thank you Teal
I had to watch the video twice because the first time I kept zoning out on your beauty! You are absolutely beautiful!
Her eyes are seductive
You are absolutely amazing Teal!! I'm a huge fan and I incorporate everything you teach into my life and I have seen these patterns that keep appearing so.. thank you so much for your teachings and revelations!
I took the time to do some shadow work last night, not convinced abut whether it would work or not, and it was more powerful that I could have ever imagined! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience!
shadow work is what Jesus and Bouddha did before awakening... why do we have forgotten this practice ?
Michael Artiste basicly Vipassana retreat does this and trains you to not react to it
Have you talked to them about it ?
But you need to react. Because the feelings want to let you know something. You can listen to them with a neutral ear. No judgment but you need to Listen!
@@prisona3 They're not difficult to reach really. You can talk to them. Ascended masters are always available at hand. At zero point. Your source God. You might have to clear your blocks first though.
@@youarelife3437 what makes you think that you are talking to ascended master and not satan for example or just an illusion that you've successfully created in the comfort of your own mind?
Nice. I got a lot out of your message. It’s a place to start. Thanks
I LOVE YOU TEAL! you break everything down so well! Impeccable!
There are people talking down on you saying you are fraud but I know you know what your talking about and I appreciate it please keep up the good work and God bless you and your family
I love your voice. So soft and calming. Thank you for the knowledge sweet lady ❤
You were in my dream yesterday, and I haven't watched you in a long time. And today I searched for shadow work, and I remembered you were in my dream
Once again, another brilliant video. I have something to think about and try to put into action. This message came at the perfect time.
finally, a calm and sane approach - when you type 'shadow work' into the YT search bar, you get all forms of overly self-conscious weirdos with creaky voices and shifty eyes - thank you for bringing a much-maligned and misunderstood topic into the cool light of day.
Makes perfect sense, youre a great teacher. I have felt for a long time that "positive focus" is the same as being in denial. I think we're on the same page on that I'd love to speak with someone who isnt all "butterflies n kittens" at every given moment, it seems like a fake smile... kinda hard to ask for advice when you feel like the person you're asking seems to be lying to themselves.
Sorry, I ramble lol.
Thank you Teal.
Very good explanation. The way people were talking about it didn't make a whole lot of sense. Thanks for making it clear, concise and sensible.
at first I was like, eh I've never buried anything. Halfway through the video that angry example sounds exactly like me lol
In the last 8 years, I've been through a lot spiritually. And yet, I always shyd away from doing shadow work. Recently, I was rejected by a girl and it hurt tremendously. I was not expecting her rejection. That triggered me and it broke my heart since I didn't know why I always "chose" rejection from the girls I loved. And so, I look at the pain determined to understand what was the source of my rejection patterns. I didn't shy away from looking into the darkness and for the first time, I tapped into an infinite sea of repressed self-hatred. I knew at that instant that the repressed self-hatred was unconsciously making me experience rejection. It was brutal and heart-breaking to finally be able to let it all out. I saw and tasted evil. I wanted to break everything, even kill if I admit. The rage, the pain and the self-hatred I had never acknowledged came to the forefront. That was the beginning of my shadow work. Expressing all that self-hatred liberated my heart. I felt spiritually speaking like 20 pounds lighter. I had no idea that I had that in me. That led me to acknowledge and own my dark side. And my god, does it feel good. I feel more grounded, more confident, more dominant, more self-assured than ever before. I'm more direct, more poised. Men treat me with more respect naturally and women clearly show their attraction to me with their eye contact. Earlier today, I talked to a girl I was awkward around and there was a lot of natural and seamless sexual tension between us. I was perfectly myself. Nothing happened, but the interaction told me everything I needed to know about the essential nature of integrating your dark side.
I've had many spiritual experiences and yet, this one really nails it. I've reclaimed the totality of my heart and soul. I feel integrated, whole and complete. Funny enough, I also feel I can dominate and control my mind and emotions instead of me being a slave to them as they dominated me. And it's only the beginning. I can't imagine what and who I'll be after months and years of consciously being aware and playing with my dark side in positive ways. I can't imagine :)
what? I do not understand shadow work. Im trying
Hmmmm. Spiritual nutrition. They say the diet gets bland from monotony and to keep it open to new tastes. I tend to try and not restrict. You once said add Maybe to every possibility. Too many say No. I tend to follow my heart. Thankyou! I do sincerely know how much old garbage is trapped in us. Out with the old and in with the new. I was purely unaware until my journey just how much we accumulate and mould from those building block years!
I stumbled on this video by watching carl yung quotes.
ive known the term lightworker for years , shadow working not so much.
But it makes a lot of sense shadow working is needed to accept yourself with all of your flaws and dark thoughts.
Once you manage to unite your light side and dark side a whole new world opens.
There is no light without darkness and in order to feel and see true light one has to see true darkness first.
I love how Teal laughs. Hihihihi.
This was true for me. Avoiding painful thoughts - experience - means you can't evaluate them.
I think I’ve suppressed my light..not my dark
This was very well explained, thank you😊
Ugh Teal you're the best like when I get high I COMPREHEND the things you talk about and do shadow work without even trying. Just by thinking. And your terms and the videos you put up help me change my reality I love youuuuuuu read this ok bye
Key insights:
🧠 We are born whole, but become relationally dependent, causing us to disown and deny certain aspects of ourselves for survival.
🌑 Consciousness has long been referred to as a light, and to become aware of something, you have to be able to see it.
🌗 Most of us tend to deny, suppress, disown and reject aspects of ourselves that we feel are negative, leading to them being stored in the shadow.
🌱 Re-owning rejected aspects of ourselves can lead to confidence and the ability to assert ourselves in a way that feels authentic.
😶 The subconscious aspects of ourselves that we deny or disown can still affect our behaviour and relationships.
😱 The resistance to shadow work comes from acknowledging the pain of rejection and loss of self for the sake of being loved.
🌌 The entire universe is on our side to help us become whole again, as every process in the universe is headed in the direction of growth and expansion.
🌟 No one ever reached enlightenment without confronting their shadow and exposing it to the light of consciousness.
TLDR: Shadow work is essential for integrating rejected aspects of ourselves and achieving a consciously aware and free life.
1. 00:00 🌑 Shadow work is the process of acknowledging and integrating the rejected aspects of ourselves that were deemed unacceptable by our family and society.
2. 01:56 🔦 Our conscious and subconscious create a split within us, with aspects we are aware of and aspects we are unaware of, similar to light and darkness.
3. 02:54 🌑 The human shadow contains both negative and positive aspects that are not exposed to the light of consciousness.
4. 03:56 🔍 A person's confident and assertive traits may be rejected by their family, causing them to deny those aspects of themselves in order to be loved, leading to a divided and painful life, but through shadow work, they can rediscover and re-own those traits to create a life that feels good.
5. 05:02 🔍 Child's anger rejected by family, becomes subconscious, affects adult behaviour, shadow work helps address and improve relationships.
6. 06:17 🔦 Facing and acknowledging suppressed aspects of ourselves through shadow work brings up the pain of rejection and loss, which is why people resist it.
7. 07:12 Self-awareness is difficult because we have split ourselves into conscious and subconscious parts, leading to self-rejection and the feeling of emptiness, but the universe is on our side to help us become whole again.
8. 08:18 🔦 Confronting our shadow self is essential for a consciously aware and free life, despite controversy in the positive focus community.
8.1 Confronting our shadow self is essential, as it will continue to chase us until we become conscious of what has become unconscious, despite the controversy surrounding Shadow Work in the positive focus community.
8.2 Shadow work is the process of making the subconscious conscious, bringing attention and love to rejected aspects of oneself, and is the key to a consciously aware and free life.
Loved the video. I would love to see more videos explaining techniques to dig into our subconscious, and also how we can prevent ourselves from using shadow work just to shit talk ourselves subconsciously (worsening the process).
***** Check out Teal Swan: How to change your core beliefs, or her longer videos on how on Shadow Work sessions. Its amazing what one discovers about ourselves as we dig deeper in to the shadow :)
*****: Interesting.
THANK YOU TEAL!!! And thanks for being an IMMENSE blessing to all of us!
Thank you Teal, we love you!
¡Que sabiduría tan grande la de Teal Swan! ¡me encantó!
This was really good.
What a wonderful and deeply profound explanation of shadow work...The book, "The Shadow Effect", helped me a few years ago, embrace this process, and understand that it was a process in general, a healing process really, and from what I've experienced in regards to doing shadow work, is that everything around you is a part of the healing process..Say for instance, if you are working on that shadow part of the fragmented self that had shame issues, then shame will show up around you, as an intended teacher...you'll start to hear shame everywhere, and all around you, but you'll realize, that it is on purpose, and a part of the healing process, for you to focus on it, look at it, recognize or acknowledge painful experiences 'bottled up' inside of you from say past experiences, and then you will feel a release, a release of that energy that was 'trapped'...as you continue this process, you move towards wholeness...the purity of the spirit, that which is you...
Such a great explaination!
I love the little sass she threw in at the end. You go Teal!
I'm learning something new here!
Wow you make so much more sense than the counselors/psychologists/psychiatrists I got sent to
This video I feel like sums a lot of things up. Love it!
This is hugely important for my journey towards wholeness and enlightenment thank you so much
knowing your own darkness
I'm not sure how to thank you for this and all that you do but since I saw this video - about a day ago - I resolved a lot of issues I had and actually experienced tears of joy, which I never experienced before.
I hope my appreciation will find you in any way possible for you to receive.
Mercury Retrograde brought me here
😂😂💚
2 years later annnnd same.
Again same 🤣 tho after 2 years
Me too
Lmaooooo
I remember a few years back reading Debbie Fords dark side of the light chasers. It fascinated me. I was so sad to hear that she past away. I think I will now do a wee bit more research into shadow work and try to incorporate some of the work into my life. One of the quotes in Debbie Fords book was in order to bring forth the light you have to enter the darkness. Thanks Teal 🦋
Thank you Teal!!!! I understand it so much better!!!🙏🙏💞💞💞👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾😍😍😍💞💞🐢🐢🐢
This literally brought me to tears..m
Teal's laugh at 7min25sec adorable :))))))))
Krista Raisa she's laughing at YOU
I used to think it was annoying and now it has grown on me..after like one day of watching her vids
Lol...
I really like it lol so cute and authentic
I discern something a little different than adorable. And I trust that discernment. I have other options for advise. Thanks but no thnxssss.
I simply love the nerd laugh 😍 we are so lucky to have Teal among us. A truly magnificent being
Ego death is suicide of the self, I think that's why depression and anxiety hurt so much, its destruction pains and growing pains. Depression is when you look back in the past and see a person you don't want to be or a situation you didn't want to happen but these are only there to guide you towards your higher and safer self.
if you learn the lessons you needed to learn from the past then you won't have anxiety about them rearising in the future. It's almost as if shadow work is going into the past to find problems and transmuting the energy in the now so you'll do things differently in the now and so it takes away the anxiety of an unwanted reoccurance of a problem in the future.
This is how you get to your higher safer self faster.
I like to think of this method as kind of like time travel mixed in with the Butterfly effect, if done something differently in the past it would/could completely change the future outcome of your enitire life.
It's almost like shifting into a parallel universe.
Meditate and look at reoccurring shadow memories in your mind and transmute them.
prayer:
- health wealth love

Absolutly perfect video. Perfectly on time for where im at on my journey. Thank you for helping me to twist my brain in yet another way lol. Keep up the great work. Piece N love ;)
Amazing. Thankyou Teal
Seen and not heard
This is exactly how i was raised as a child ○☆~`♢♡♢`~☆●
I have to say, that after spending just two weeks listening to Teal's messages and working on my shadow self and fragmented pieces of my soul, I am doing well and feeling so much better. What helped me the most was to realize that the shadow part of me, as well as the devil, was not really an evil entity. Because I believed otherwise, I rejected a part of myself and labeled myself as evil. Teal Swan has shown me that the traditional views of evil versus good have been false, religious propaganda. To all who view her videos, please do not accept the negative comments made about her by so-called spiritual leaders. They are wrong. They put her down because her messages bring up their own fears and devils. Thank you so much, Teal Swan. You are an amazing young woman with a special gift to offer to the world. Blessings of healing to you dear, precious one. Many of us love you and appreciate you.
LMAO! I like it when you sneak the random giggle in there. Can't figure what that was at 7:30 but it put a big grin on my face.
Beautiful video. Timely. Good wishes teal, and thank you.
My shadow is a very scare little girl - yet very powerful still - if I don't pay attention to what she wants she will let me know for sure - I am learning to love her and nurture her so feels safe and she can then work with me not against me :)
thank you Teal
All the selves of me that are watching this right now, I love and accept you as you are.
I like the laugh at “no wonder self awareness is so hard to attain”. It’s like “now take that you abusive people who pretend to be great!!!”
I am sincerely grateful for you. Light and love.
I hope this is not off topic but could this help clients with Dissasociative Identity Disorder (DID)? In the sense that clients should learn to live with these guest personalities, by integrating into a whole person again.
If you want your clients to continue being DID sure. If you had a client with violent tendencies would you have him embrace this violent nature?
Guest personalities are created to deal with certain stressors so you would want to address the stressors not the created personality.

Yes absolutely. It is the only way for them to ever heal. Psychologists will tell you this is impossible. But this is not true. I know of a woman who went through extreme SRA as a child. And as result developed DID. She worked with Normal Delaney www.compassionatebreath.net, who taught her the breath of compassion. Which is a way of integration, as it helps you sit with and embrace all these repressed parts of yourself from a place of compassion, presence and awareness. It is not a very mental method but it is a very powerful/effective one. One I have practiced myself for years now. Over the course of 10 years the person she worked with, became whole and integrated into one conscious personality again. She is now fully functioning and thriving in society. Where once she was so dysfunctional, they even took her kids away cause she could not care for them in a responsible manner. She had so many different personalities that would take over throughout the day. So even though there are people that will tell you it cannot be done. I know of a real life example where it was. So I think you are right on the money with your intuition. It is not an easy process though. And both the person suffering from DID and the facilitator need to be ready and the facilitator needs to know what they are doing. It is along term commitment. But it beats any kind of drugs or treatment modern day Psychology offers.
Thank you Teal for all your inspiration.
This woman is amazing. (P.S. Who's the f*&k who gave this a thumb's down? ;) )
Someone afraid of their own shadow :)
madiganfilms The same sort of person who was defending oppression and tyranny on another video... There are always thumbs down :/
FocusReborn Booo!
FocusReborn oh yes
Sounds like very limited logic to me ;) Nothing observed is unaffected by the observer. That means reality is created moment by moment by the observer. The observer and the creator are one.
your laugh at 7:25 is adorable n.n
That is my favourite bit!
yeh mine too, I had actually stopped watching until then
I just wanted to say Mahalo from the depth of my being for being such an amazing teacher and guide., and for being such a beautiful being yourself.
Sounds like my family the males get treated
like royalty
Different in my family I'm the black sheep I was the only one to be beat up from being 10 years old plus. I have ptsd I'm gifted. I love I hate myself.just connecting with my self truly is amazing
@@colshell5176 I suffer child hood abuse from my mother I understand what you have been throw
It´s interesting you did mention Carl Jung, early today I´ve discovered the existence of his Red Book and I felt so attracted to it.
Thank you Teal, clear and helpful as always!
Some are at the stage where they need to re visit the specific cause of their blockage(s), and others dont, once they become fully aware of the how and why of the process.
The whole point is to reach that awareness, when both known and unknown blockages dissipate. Perhaps thats why there is some controversy among the "professionals".
Some from the latter stage are persuaded to re visit and re live those traumas, when just awakening to the purpose of such experiences is enough, and can reactivate the blockage, where the individual feels caught in a loop.
Some subscribe to the view, that is what happens to "light workers" when they chose to come back to this world. They forgot what they came here for.
