Shadow Work with Ascension Roots

Shadow work can be a daunting process, especially when you are not accustomed to staying present with an uncomfortable emotion. Society teaches us to repress our emotions, and to ignore our instincts and gut feelings, we become so used to pushing our real emotions away that when we are faced with the truth, with an uncomfortable or even painful emotion, we can find it distressing.

We can be so distrustful and troubled by an emotion that is not positive or numb that we avoid doing this work, fearful that we cannot handle or contain the feeling. The truth is, that we can, and learning to trust ourselves, and believing that we can heal ourselves is the first step on our healing journey. Learning to trust ourselves with our own healing takes time for most people and taking those first steps can be made easier if you have someone walking through the shadow with you, who can feel what you are feeling, who has already traversed this terrain and is confident in the results of the process.

Talking therapies are a very effective way of starting shadow work, the packages that Ascension Roots offers in no way replaces or undermines undertaking formal therapy. Formal therapy is exceptionally valuable and indeed most everyone would benefit from it. However, not everyone desires the formal structure of engaging in therapy, or sometimes people still desire another style of self reflective healing after formal therapy comes to an end. A less formal and structured format that is spiritually guided is also a very desirable approach to shadow work.

All Ascension Roots packages are spiritually guided, (essentially channeling spirit). When sessions are spiritually guided, the practitioner is tuned in to your particular frequency, communication from your spirit team and higher self (that is for your highest good and ultimately aids the healing process) comes through and is delivered to you, through me. Spirit imparts messages that will benefit your journey into self reflective healing and expanding your consciousness, it is useful to be prepared beforehand that you may not always initially ‘like’ what is imparted, it will however, always be for your ultimate benefit, I do however try to ‘humanise’ the messages and deliver them as sensitively as possible.

The hardest aspect of shadow work for most people is the thought of entering that challenging work alone. Spiritual and emotional growth is not a painless process, we are often left feeling lonely and low in mood when we go through certain transitions. Which is why I created these packages offering non-judgemental, tailored support and guidance, to alleviate the feelings of negotiating unfamiliar and uncomfortable territory alone.
