Find Your Shadow in the Time of This Eclipse

During an eclipse, animals have a bio-rhythm response to the sudden darkness when the moon moves over the sun. Some spider species tear down their webs before the solar event and rebuild after the eclipse.

For the human experience, this eclipse is a divine time to look at those personality traits known as shadow sides, we banished or eclipsed out from being shamed, disciplined, or punished. Replacing ‘authentic’ behaviors for ‘favored-by-parents’ behaviors become the mask one wears as a socially acceptable side of you, developed when told not to ‘act’ a certain way. You hid the parts of you that were unacceptable to the adult’s critical and disproving eye.

You began acting instead of being

Hiding aspects of you was a survival strategy, in order to be accepted by those you relied on for your very life. This became a lifetime setup that you are now ready to heal and change.

The shadow aspects sit right below the surface of your awareness, fed and protected by the ego and kept skillfully hidden from your consciousness.

To reclaim the ‘shadow’ side is a reuniting of self where you can rebuild the fractured self and bring your shadow parts back to integrate into a whole new you. You can then reclaim your essence, and return to authenticity.
