take what you need
every message needs a recipient. If you’re here, know that you are ready to receive. Take what you need from any reading that catches your attention, and leave the rest for someone else
the life-force you're learning to wield
You’re scared of silence in the mind, scared that if you stop thinking then you will stop planning ahead and lose track of all the ways that harm can find you. You don’t want to relax because you’ve never felt safe enough to relax. So you can only find safety in the doing, in the act of hyper-vigilance. Alertness is your status quo.
your shadow is signposting you
This week is delivering a message to you, it could be in the form of a letter, a phone call, an appointment or verdict you’ve been waiting on. It’s not necessarily something outwardly important, it might seem insignificant from the outside, but what you’re being directed to observe is how you react to this message.
connect with your shadow
Here’s what no one wants to tell you about shadow work: it is emotionally exhausting. It requires presence, bravery, and a willingness to truly see yourself in all its messiness.
