On this day, I was feeling extremely uncomfortable and in need of talking through what was going on so that I could better understand what I was feeling. Since this whole podcast was born out of this very need, I decided that I would share this deeply personal, open, and uncensored voice note, where I seek to make conscious a feeling which had previously been vague and unconscious.

This is part of the practical, real process that I use in my personal shadow work "practice" that helps me to open up and identify what the heck is going on in my inner world.

Shadow work- making the unconscious conscious in order to know yourself, feel your feelings, and embrace your deeper truths- has different layers to it. One of them, and what I share in this voice note, is the mental process of gaining or deepening awareness and understanding of your present reality.

Be forewarned... this one may go a bit all over the place at times, as I use my mind to try to express and bring clarity to my emotions. It's not a linear process and may meander a bit as I gather my thoughts and try to put it into concrete terms... and, lol, I do get a little deep into an analogy (because I do love my analogies!!) - but if you bear with me and get through to the end, it does all come together.

My desire is for this to serve as an example of how you might approach exploring your feelings, thoughts, and tendencies.

Self-questioning and using your mind to be the interpreter and explorer of your inner world... that is the process. Remember, your mind is not the one who comes up with the answers. It simply observes and interprets.

ps- I don't normally curse, but when I started recording I had thought I was just recording it as a personal note. I decided later that this was a good one to share! So there is a curse word or two in the middle there 😬
