Shadow Work Incense Mix

Confront your shadow, Get to the root, Be kind to yourself, Believe that you are worth it.

“Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is,” Carl Jung wrote. 

The shadow self is the darker side of ourselves we repress or ignore. It is our excess baggage!

Until you make the unconscious, conscious… your shadows will steer the reigns in your life, it will control you - and you may not even know it has a tight grip on you. Many of your mundane or magic struggles could very well be because of the shadows you hold within which may grow undesirable outcomes: second guessing yourself, constant circling (doing the same thing over & over, which never gets you anywhere) - including self-sabotage, destructive behaviour, ruined friendships & relationships.

There's no balance without both the dark and the light. Shadow work helps you live a life that embraces the good, the bad, the beautiful, and the ugly.

When we come into this world, we are influenced by a number of different people (inside our homes, family, and outside the home such as school, etc.), all the experiences we’ve gone through, and things we witness (even on film/tv). The lessons we learn/experience/witness during childhood tend to stick with us, turning into beliefs that affect how we act and react as we move into adulthood. 

Shadow work can be quite intense, especially, if it’s very deep trauma… So, I urge that if you feel extremely overwhelmed during (or even before/after) shadow work, please consider working with a medical professional. Asking for help is powerful too, it will help you start to heal. 

More Carl Jung quotes:

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”

“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of other people.”

“Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word ‘happy’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”
