Empower With Laura

  Happy Friday Followers!  I've written on this topic before but not in terms of integrating Shadow Work. I'm almost at the end of my Udemy Shadow work  course with Elaina Bianca and today I'm going to look at how she uses the Practice of Journaling  as a Shadow Work Practice into Your Life.  This journaling process may be different than the ones you've heard of or tried before but it's nothing scary and offers so many healing benefits. This breaks down your healing work into 7 different categories. These practical applications align with the seven chakras which are the main energy centers of your BODY and their corresponding THEMES. These categories are: Security, Family, and Ancestral Roots(Root Chakra) Sexuality, Creativity, and Passion(Sacral Chakra) Ambition, Authority, and Power(Solar Plexus Chakra) Love and Relationships(Heart Chakra) Self-Expression and Communication(Throat Chakra) Intelligence, Imagination, and Intuition(Third-Eye Chakra) Connection to ...

This fear kicks in because your "survival instinct" senses DANGER or a THREAT to your SAFETY. Irritational fears are less likely to occur. They are indicated by an exaggeration in "reaction" to the fear. For example, the same fear of drowning. The difference is you are boating on a calm lake while w...

  Good morning followers!    I'm facing my fears and peeling back the layers of my own emotions, messaging, molding, and True Self with Shadow Work! Years ago, I wasn't ready. I was too steeped in approval, being obedient, and the big "D" (DENIAL). Now, I'm ready!!! I've been taking a course on Udemy guided by  Elaina Bianca, Spiritual Director and Alternative Practitioner. Today's lesson was on "The Onion Model". Here she wonderfully illustrates the layers beneath our shadow: 1.The core (essence) is your TRUE SELF. This is also referred to as your Light Source. This becomes bogged down by the shadow; thus, your Divine Glory can't be emanated.  2.The next Layer surrounding your True Self or CORE is your EMOTIONAL WOUND. These are all the unsettling feelings you have experienced both and suppressed all your life along with the repressed memories that go with them. 3. The tier above that THE DISGUISED SELF, consists of defenses, masks, and arch...
