The anger, the grief, the rage, the disbelief, the despair you feel as you look out into the world and see what is happening.

Hey all! If anyone is interested in taking over admin of the #skyifs feed, please DM me by Jan 1st.
Otherwise I’ll be letting it go. It’s not necessarily a ton of work to manage, but I’m not really using this platform much anymore and I’ve got a lot going on w/ my own projects and new endeavors ❤️🙏

As #skyifs is buzzing today I'd like share my side project created to help people to discover how their financial "parts" influence every money decision made. SpendSentinel uses IFS principles to understand and work compassionately with protectors that drive spending, saving or avoidance patterns.

People often asked Dr. Jung , “Will we make it?” referring to the cataclysm of our time. He always replied, “If enough people will do their inner work.” This soul work is the one thing that will pull us through any emergency.~Robert A. Johnson, 𝘖𝘸𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘖𝘸𝘯 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸

Through #shadowwork, the #disowned material is brought into the conscious mind so that we can ultimately #accept them
All the stuff we tucked away in our early development—the attributes, attitudes, impulses, and qualities incompatible with our #self-identity are brought to the surface

#Conscious material refers to the information we are aware of about ourselves
#Unconscious material is all of the stuff we don’t know
Generally, there’s FAR more unconscious material hiding from us

Scientists call it #epigenetics
When a #geneticmarker for trauma gets passed down
Through the genes
Multiply that by every trauma
For every person in the #lineage
You are the latest #iteration and carry all of it
But it can be healed when you heal yourself

Internal Family Systems method of unburdening Exiles/Shadows was/is my go-to for releasing trauma energy.
Whatever works for you, release that energy. It is INFINITELY harder to carry it. Once it's gone, it's gone.
Life gets so much better ♥️
#skyifs #shadowwork
Thanks Sacredwhispers!

Our bodies are designed to process and release trauma naturally. It's only when we are overwhelmed that energy gets stuck.
Movement practices like yoga, gigong, & Intuitive dance help complete the interrupted processes. ❤️🩹
How are you moving your body?

"emotional experiences become physically stored when not fully processed"
I could not have said it any better.
That's why we need to unburden and integrate our Shadows/Exiles

💫 "The issues are in the tissues."
Science confirms what ancient healing traditions have always known-emotional experiences become physically stored when not fully processed.
Notice where you feel tension during difficult discussions-that's your body's wisdom speaking.

Hoping you will notice them
And come to retrieve them ♥️

TRUTH
And our Shadow/Exile is really our younger,
Innocent and vulnerable parts.
This is our darkness 👤 Our wounded inner children.
And they're carrying burdens of suppressed emotions
Let's go get them 🧘♂️ and unburden/integrate them
And shower them with love ❤️

To journey inward is to encounter both the light and the shadow. True self-discovery does not mean rejecting darkness but integrating it into the wholeness of one’s being.~CG Jung, 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴 9𝘪

Jung discovered that the unconscious is not merely a place where forgotten memories or unpleasant feelings are repressed. He posited a model of the unconscious so momentous that the Western world has still not fully caught up with its implications.~Robert A. Johnson

You don't think you create your reality?
Oh, YOU create your reality
In every moment.
What creates it? Your subconscious.
Shadow/parts work resolves the subconscious ick.
Things improve with inner work.

How it feels when you integrate one of your Shadows/Exiles.
Complete and utter love ❤️
What's wild is you can feel the love in your heart,
And THEM feeling that love at the same time.
Simultaneously.
Because both are you.
