Healing at a soul level requires going into the subconscious mind to tap into hidden unconscious pain and suffering buried deep. This could be from small events, significant events, the accumulation of events or even past life trauma we have no conscious knowledge of.

Shadow work is looking at the parts of us we deny and do not wish to acknowledge as they are often shameful and embarrassing.

As adults we often dismiss the past and solider on despite traumatic events, but part of us has not moved on and is very much stuck in the past when that event happened, preventing us from truly moving forward in life and affecting our current life happiness.

At the moment of trauma a part of us can break away from the rest of us, this part is called the wounded inner child/Ego mind. A person can have one or many such parts and may or may not stem from childhood.

As we grow up we may forget about such events over time and get on with life.

However these wounded parts remain, dissociated and isolated from the whole person or self.

Bringing healing to such parts fills our heart once again to the innocence and playfulness we once lost. This is done with alignment of these parts with the conscious self.

• Inner Child work - wounded inner parts that drive unwanted habits and behaviours - dissociated parts of our consciousness.

• Habits* - Over eating (weight gain) or Smoking is usually a protective inner part that is hiding a wounded child or adult part of self that is pain from trauma and drives such behaviour. Attachments are frequently present and amplify the behaviour making it difficult to stop or quit unwanted behaviours. (*Drugs and Alcohol addictions are excluded)

• Lost memories - suppressed emotional blocks due to forgotten or blocked memories

• Inner shadows can be attachments and entities amplifying our our emotional wounds or parts of self we deny and disown.

• Anxiety/depression - occurs when there is disconnection to our soul self

• Repressed emotions - Shame, blame, guilt, grief, anger, sadness, loneliness. The cause of many chronic health conditions.

• Chronic Stress - living in an imbalanced way that ends up living in a state of survival that has an emotional and physical tole on the body and the body starts to break down and illness occurs as a result.

• Ancestral Healing can be a big part of this work as connections to our ancestors can explain the repeated pattern of trauma within our lineage and in our own life.
