It’s sticky week in terms of mood and energy. One minute you’re face planted on the sofa, the next you’re getting spiritual downloads and anchoring into new beliefs with instant clarity. 

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.

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.

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.
