You've gotta bring that subconscious memory out to the conscious. The notion that there was never anything wrong with you. We've simply forgotten who we are... Who we TRULY are. We've just gotten a little lost. But that was the whole point..... right?
oneself ego assumed there is somethings wrong with self, the assumption pain which feels real on human body need shadow work to clear up the fake lies we tell our selves. sad right? yes our source is not broken, just an idea we have about our self that we are broken. silly human confuse as hell. we got it though, we got it.
Yes, its about getting rid of drama/past that arises as a plug in the drainage pipes of the heart. Today, Saturday, it became easier to understand the ways of it all. Its for my own goodness to live in peace and replicate the feelings all over the planet.
drugs, hookup culture, porn, etc. and people beat themselves up with "motivational videos" trying to find motivation rather than healing themselves. Great video Aaron you are a true gift!
I did this and didn’t even know it. I grabbed a journal and wrote down my deepest hurtful issues that always bothered me. I asked myself why am I so angry? What’s hurts your feelings? I cried so bad but it was extremely freeing. I do this as a habit now, writing out how I feel. It feels good.
@@markbates891 baaahahaha. My attention span has been pretty wonky this evening, thanks. :) ;) Now I will meditate and turn up my focus since it's apparent that I should.
The first time I did shadow work, I didn't even realise I was doing it. It was in the middle of a psychedelic experience. Halfway through, my mind started bombarding me with all of my negative experiences, my shame, my guilt, my failures. I tried to block it out, but there was no way to. Usually when I get such feelings I try to escape by distracting myself, but this time I was in the escape, I was in the distraction and I had no where to hide. So I braced myself and felt all of the negative emotions, I held on for hours through the onslaught. The most wonderful thing happened in the morning. After going through some of my most painful traumas, I watched the sunrise and I just accepted it all, I allowed it to be. And I cried tears of happiness that made me feel like my heart was rid of a big boulder holding it down. All I wanted was my own acceptance. This was a pivotal experience for me and I have never been the same since. I have been on a journey to improve myself. Even though this happened, i didnt know that it was shadow work that I did. Almost 10 months after this experience, I was meditating one night and saw a vision of a shadow person looking at me. I was spooked, but I did some research. I read about Carl Jung and his findings and now finally I realise what shadow work is. From now, I will take conscious effort to search within, forgive and integrate parts of myself with the light of compassion, love, meditation, discipline and prayer. Every person in this world needs this healing. The power is in our own hands. Amor Fati. May you all find the peace within.
I wish this could happen to me. I want the heaviness and the creeping shadow/trauma to be released for good. I wish I knew how to access my shadow self.
@@GoogleAccount00 Read “The Presence Process”. You don’t have to do anything. It will come up all by itself. You just need to learn how to relax and fully accept the feelings when they’re in your face.
For me, yes. Yet, the lessen comes in two's or more person's. Something has to strike a the cord of what has to come out. I had Grace as I see the event now, I didn't know English. This was my first experience with pain in my small life. I knew something was up, but what, as we say in Spanish, que se yo. Now i know what happened and why the lessen presented the way it was. Wow Yeah thank you pain in the culo. Thank you for the line up, Manfred Brea.
I started doing shadow work about a month ago and while I know I have a LONG way to go, I feel much lighter and happier than I have in years already! 2020 has already been one of the transformational times in years for me! Thanks for sharing Aaron! Namaste!
@@seansswamp Actually MUCH better. I have been through a lot of transformation this past year and I feel more grounded and am much less likely to get triggered by things and when I do it's only mildly and it passes quickly. Thanks for asking! Namaste.
as someone with Dissociative Identity Disorder with several different “persecutor” alters, i definitely plan to try this to reach out to them. i really resonate with the truth that there’s no such thing as “bad” alters or parts of self, only misguided protection out of pain and trauma. thank you for this video
The same for us, I am wondering if this might cause alters to integrate. I suppose if specific alters did shadow work to heal themselves it would help the system rather then integration.
@Hamza Mahmood it all starts with taking 100% responsibility for all that comes into your reality. you have to clear/clean your mind from all the " old programing", so that you can act out of inspiration and not so called "memories". search on youtube for videos with Dr. Hew Len for a better explaination, and don't try to grasp it with your mind. 🙏

Healing is the real gold! To be healed is to be free - free from the pain, but not to the point of avoidance. Instead we meet it with open arms, and work through it patiently with love and empathy. Just how we wouldn't put a child down for an honest mistake, we must heal our inner child and develop into our true authenticity. The shadow isn't something to be afraid of. It's just a mirror reminding us of a blemish that needs to be treated with care. Namaste my friends. 💜🙏🏽✨🌿
Yeah.. I feel like most people associate “shadow work” with integrating repressed polarities of your personality.. this never resonated with me and I think its often misinterpreted.. I like how Aaron puts emphasis on healing as the ultimate goal of shadow work.. instead of some sort of all-in-one personality with both negative and positive traits..
I already knew the way Aaron teach, so that's way I came here to learn about Shadow Work even knowing that there are another channels talking about it too.
"Your external world is merely a reflection of your internal world." You said a mouthful there my friend. In fact, that's a way I have become aware of my own shadows. If I think it about someone else, I think it about myself. I'm having a hard time articulating this but it's like the universe is one big mirror.
I've heard that, believed it, but I just didn't really grasp it and I just moved on. But I am having trouble healing my shadow, but healing my shadow is my priority, so mabey if I can grasp the mirror idea, I can more easily do shadow work.
@@MrYeet-ip4qj I'm certainly no expert but I do believe recognizing you have shadows to heal is a good step forward to finding them and healing them. God bless you on your journey.
Bingo. Been there too. So strange to know that people truly are not separate-which is a huge part of the love thing. And you can’t just tell someone that. I love the story of the ho o pono pono psychiatrist. It’s totally about this. Send your “demons” away and they will come back to haunt you. They are you. They are judgement of you. Love them and you really-integrate. People always give you what you are asking for by how you regard yourself. This is one of the biggest secrets of life.
To finish the work of shadow work .. it's all about shadow.. I learned don't fight your shadow but overcome it ...or shadows will control us .. god bless
I know it's definitely time to do shadow work when I literally start crying by even reading or hearing about it. The tears are a mixture of hope, fear, and just being overwhelmed.
I love the psychological bone breaking metaphor. We are in the fastest paced society to ever exist. People desperately try to fill their souls void with some new experience or thing, when we really just need to love ourselves and others. I’m not immune to it. Time to heal some pain body
I fell heavy into the pit and fought my demons. What Aaron is saying is 100% ... I thank the goodness of people like him that taught me how to love myself. From that moment I climbed out of the pit, I have not stopped looking at my shadow and monitoring my thoughts. Thank you Aaron for making these concepts easy to understand. I owe my life to people like you and to my will to change.
Love is excepting it for what is ...all of it. Not just the good but the bad as well. Love and except it just the way it is Unconditionally. Thanks for sharing 💚
i felt such a break through when you said something along the lines of “your shadow self is upset because it wasn’t treated as separate so long”. i’m giving my shadow self my undivided attention until she feels safe again.
For almost 3 years I being reading and applying shadow work/letting go technics in my daily life and I always felt like I was stuck because I never truly understood the concept of welcome those feelings with love, understanding and patience. But after watching this video I have a real sence of what is it and a direction to heal myself, thank you so much for that amazing video.
Try hooponono prayer. It literally heals every single thing. Same thing, traumas, and fears will come up from subconscious to be cleared out but do it over and over again. Even jut thank you over and over is healing...pretty much what Arron is saying.
Exactly what I needed to hear. I was going through a lot of pain inside, and it feels like this video was made for me. I was observing my pain, but I was resisting it instead of love it. Thanks
Yes indeed so on point with stages of healing this process should be more taught to people and the world illuminate so we must be the light in the world then it the world will illuminate . Light comes from darkness 💡😎😇🦋
This was beautiful. I recently have started this journey and it has been also exhausting, because unknowingly we pent up so much, demons and monsters are formed without even realising. I am thankful to you for this video
I look at it like peeling an onion, layers of pain, anger, resentment, betrayal etc. I started going back in my memory an reliving these held in thoughts that no longer serve me. Peeling an emotion at a time, day after day peeling away the hurt. Our mind will start bringing them out for us, sometimes when you least expect it! Be the emotion then let it go, imagine your own disposal method, with forgiveness as the goal. I did this in 1987, I moved from Idaho to Hawaii, my 1st sabbatical, and while reading A Course in Miracles, when the course was distributed through word of mouth!
Best video dear ,thank you sooooo much.....You cleared many doubts and showed me a path which i have been unable to discover, i was always chasing externals so that i can avoid inner ,shadow self pain......thank you sooo much
This spoke to everything that I needed to hear right now. I’ve wanted to do shadow work for a long time, but in meditation I kept finding myself hitting walls. As soon as I wanted to get deep, something superficial would distract me. I would be right on the cusp of something major and then I would start thinking about parts of my day, chores, conversations… things that were all irrelevant. I’ve spent so many years in a career that I didn’t love anymore. I kept looking for ways out, looking for ways to find what I love, looking for my life purpose. Then Covid hit. My autistic son went into remote learning and I knew that it was time to leave that job. While It’s true that the pandemic has been terrible for our country, it presented an opportunity for me to have a source of income (disaster unemployment), to be able to get in tune with and take care of my son, and to be able get in tune with and take care of myself. So now I have a time and I have eliminated a lot of outside influences that were hindering me. Still, I was having difficulties truly tapping into the shadow. I’ve found that the person I was at the beginning of the day that woke up with resolve and intention I was not the same person that I saw at 3 PM or even 5 PM when a drink sounded really good and that drink turned into three or four drinks. It was in looking at this division in my personality that I realize that there’s so many different personalities that reside in this one being that I call myself. I also knew that it is time to except every single one of them for who they are instead of trying to run away. Last week I saw a class by Teal Swan where she talked about doing left-handed writing or non-dominant hand writing and looking at the different aspects of yourself straight on. Using your left hand to reconcile with these aspects of yourself, you’re also establishing new neural pathways in the brain. It goes into more detail and I won’t take up anymore of your time. I will just say that I have a long weekend where my son is at his dad’s house I can take the time for myself to begin. This video was exactly what I wanted to see right now. So again thank you very much.
Thank you. I named my fragmented kid side tumbleweed. I remind her she is intense but still lovable. Having sexual abuse seems to cause a split. I've felt parts of me come and go in cycles. I work on keeping grounded everyday. Hard to stay in the body when one knows what it feels like on the other side. One and all
Listening to the Ra material, I realized that I am every color of the spectrum, including the red, orange and yellow. One day I told my inner light that I loved all that we are as one, even the so called negative. When I did this my body felt such relief to the point of tears. We are truly one creator. Love light Light love everyONE💞
Best explanation I’ve ever heard of how the neglected shadow becomes this negative energetic entity that ends up sabotaging you. It makes sense that love would be THE way to heal it. Amazing content. Thank you.
I have literally faced my shadow multiple times in multiple forms. At the time I was ignorant to what it was and didn't know it was a part of my unhealed self. So because of that for a short time my situation got worse because of the trauma of facing the fear but later I recognized the part of me and imagined forgiving it and healing it. Much of my shadow was created by false beliefs of myself and the world. It's a burden that can be a blessing when you learn one part of love is forgiveness, healing and appreciation. Much love to you and know you are not your thoughts you are the being behind the thoughts. Practice presence in your body taking focus away from the mind and if thoughts form only observe them and in time source will be realized more within you until you are present in all moments of your life in pure love and truth. Much love to you all.
I've never heard it expressed that way before and it's so empowering!! Shadow work is summarized as looking at the parts of yourself you've never seen. I think my reality just blew up. I've been defining shadow work as bringing awareness upon all the wounds we have received but never consciously processed. My new definition is: Shadow Work is the illumination and conscious reintegration those parts of ourselves we have judged, or rejected, to any degree without realizing that we have done so. This definition enables conscious confident and powerful self-acceptance simply by reframing it to be neutral.
I don’t know if it will help anyone but I wrote in my diary all the things about me I didn’t like and then I slowly accepted them and said it is okay, it is okay I am loved I love I am perfect....wrote this many many many times and soothed myself to sleep. It worked! The next time I had to face what I would call a undesirable event, so for me public speaking, it was easier to deal with it. I was amazed medications helped but acceptance did a whole lot more.
Aaron, you are one of the most amazing and effective teachers I have encountered on my 72 year journey so far. Your content on your videos is prolific and covers the essentials of spirituality from A to Z that we travelers so much depend upon to go forward on the path. I am most grateful to you.
Very intelligent and articulate way of teaching complex subjects . Only someone who has done their work can explain in such an eloquent way . Thank you and all beautiful lightworkers for spreading truth, love and light ! The world needs you 🤍💡🙏
Excellent video Aaron. Thank you. I wish I watched it 5-7 years ago when I had a midlife crisis where my unchecked shadows became so huge, they completely overwhelmed me and my life crashed into several pieces. Through lots of deep introspection, reflection, acknowledgement, I embraced my shadows and did lots of integration work to heal and achieve an equilibrium. It was a very emotional but a necessary journey because my shadows are firmly part of me and thats why now as I live a life of abundance, when people say love all parts of you, I know exactly what they mean. However, dont do this alone..try and work with a shadow therapist.
I really love the EGO part you mentioned. I was doing that, "Let me love you, so you can go away from my life forever." I will be patient and kind with myself from now on. Thank you Aaron.
The insight in your videos have been a true blessing. But, this one is the best for me. We are similar in so many ways. After 15 years of inner work, I can now “hear” the message. Thank you for doing the work, and sharing your results. You and Eckhart have been used in ways I could not understand before. 🎁✅😎
Fantastic video. Every sentence is a gem. I am doing shadow work for a few yeara now and for a long time I didnt feel a difference. But the last 12 months are amazing. Anxiety is gone, I have so much more energy, I manifest with ease when I release the blockages. But its not even about material manifestations. Its about being at peace. The only thing I didnt do is to Thank the shadow parts that are being released. It makes sense so I will include that into my routine. Thank you Aaron. You are a man of wisdom and your videos are the best out there.
What I find fascinating, is the fractal nature of reality. How you described the shadow in a person, that has to be integrated again to become whole, is exactly how it is for the entire universe. The negative polarities reintegrate with the positive polarities, to become whole again. The micro and the macro everything resembles its self. Beautiful!
This is the first video on shadow work I've found that spoke in down to earth language I could connect with, and the information is condensed and seems genuinely actionable. I'm going to re-listen and take notes. Thank you.
I have to tell you! I seen a RAINBOW around you from the left all the way to the right. It was very neat to see. This is the first time I have ever seen this before. 🙏 I'm impressed with you and myself 😊
Right on time because I have committed to doing more in 2020. I have some wounds that have recently opened up that I need to work through. It involves the shadow!
Wow, perfect timing! I just went thru a week of pain and fear around finances where I felt I was being taken over by something else because I felt suicidal as I saw no way out. Lack of finances is the main thing that shakes me to my core but this time it has such a hold on me that I finally figured out it was something I needed to work through and to see in a bigger way... AKA do the shadow work and love it and it's message until it dissipates. Thank you so much for this video!!
Probably the best video I ever saw on youtube, went after, continuously paused and played the video until I wrote down everything you said word for word
Aaron, your wisdom never gets old. You are the best teacher I've ever known, a true miracle worker! " a miracle, to attain its full efficacy, must be expressed in a language that the recipient can understand without fear", (ACIM, T-2.IV.5).
You are definitely channeling Jesus in the modern lay man's terminology. Everything that you say, comes out orderly and to the point, while at the same time being right on the mark of true intuition. Thanks, again.
Yes bro 😍 I'm going in the forest each morning and meditating 🧘♂️ for 15-30 minutes for my true essence and some physical exercise lol 😂 Also watching you, Sir Eckhart Tolle And also listening over and over again one of the best book "Psycho Cybernetics"... I believe that I'm Love and I'm here for Love. I respect others unconditionally and I feel compassion for me and for others.. ❤️ Thank You so much bro for your amazing work. You're amazing. ❤️ Love you. ❤️
The way I see healing/shadow work is inspired by you and your channel: Healing is the journey of searching for wrong thoughts, that stay as blockages between parts of ourselves and make us feel negative emotions!! Thank you man for everything, I honestly owe you a lot of the clarity in my head!!
Thank you Aaron! I recognized that i just did the integration part this morning by feeling genuinely grateful for the discovery of previous hidden parts of myself. I can see that some events and phases in my life had to take place for me to develop the necessary maturity, self-compassion and groundedness to actually accept these parts. I believe that i have seen them before but have brushed them of as they were SO FAR from what i believed i believed consciously. Its quite inspiring to make these kind of discovery. Many thanks to the Universe. Everything is perfect right NOW. Much Lover, Oliver
THANK YOU SO MUCH I didn't know I have been doing shadow work allllll my life 😕 I've been too scared to work on my self love crafts but now I know I'm ready thank u so much. PTSD and triggers are a big part of my life but I'm always telling myself ( it's okay you just need to heal ) I've been so aware even before I knew I was aware
Thank you Aaron! I Love the way you teach! It resonates with me (although I never thought religion made any sene)! I appreciate you beyond words! Thanks my friend! You have wonderful energy! You are definitely a bright Light ! Thank you for all of your practical guidance especially✨️
Truly appreciate this video. Been stumbling upon lots of shadow work videos but couldn’t find one with practical steps to start the integration. Let the journey begin!!!

I love the psychological bone breaking metaphor. We are in the fastest paced society to ever exist. People desperately try to fill their souls void with some new experience or thing, when we really just need to love ourselves and others. I’m not immune to it. Time to heal some pain body
I fell heavy into the pit and fought my demons. What Aaron is saying is 100% ... I thank the goodness of people like him that taught me how to love myself. From that moment I climbed out of the pit, I have not stopped looking at my shadow and monitoring my thoughts. Thank you Aaron for making these concepts easy to understand. I owe my life to people like you and to my will to change.
Thank You Aaron! I really needed this insight!
That’s the best summary I’ve heard on Carl Jung’s shadow theory. Just subscribed! Beautiful channel! ♥️
Yes so true he went in-depth
Same here! After he summarized it I pressed the subscribe and notification bell to all. I then watched the rest and still feel the same!😊
Love is excepting it for what is ...all of it. Not just the good but the bad as well. Love and except it just the way it is Unconditionally. Thanks for sharing 💚
i felt such a break through when you said something along the lines of “your shadow self is upset because it wasn’t treated as separate so long”. i’m giving my shadow self my undivided attention until she feels safe again.
For almost 3 years I being reading and applying shadow work/letting go technics in my daily life and I always felt like I was stuck because I never truly understood the concept of welcome those feelings with love, understanding and patience. But after watching this video I have a real sence of what is it and a direction to heal myself, thank you so much for that amazing video.
I've just started listening to the book 'The Untethered Soul', and he seems to speak a lot about this in chapter 8, where i'm up to.
Oh I love this book, it’s absolutely brilliant!
Jonny Chaos That's a great book! I have it on my shelf maybe I'll re-read it
One of my favorite books!!
My favorite book and author!!!
Looks like I have a new book to read on my list now! Thanks!

Try hooponono prayer. It literally heals every single thing. Same thing, traumas, and fears will come up from subconscious to be cleared out but do it over and over again. Even jut thank you over and over is healing...pretty much what Arron is saying.
Exactly what I needed to hear. I was going through a lot of pain inside, and it feels like this video was made for me. I was observing my pain, but I was resisting it instead of love it. Thanks
Yes indeed so on point with stages of healing this process should be more taught to people and the world illuminate so we must be the light in the world then it the world will illuminate . Light comes from darkness 💡😎😇🦋
Lots of people need to hear and do this.
A person could literally heal their life by understanding, and then implementing this when necessary. 🙏❤
Thank you man my life has changed because of u god bless u
This was beautiful. I recently have started this journey and it has been also exhausting, because unknowingly we pent up so much, demons and monsters are formed without even realising. I am thankful to you for this video
I look at it like peeling an onion, layers of pain, anger, resentment, betrayal etc. I started going back in my memory an reliving these held in thoughts that no longer serve me. Peeling an emotion at a time, day after day peeling away the hurt. Our mind will start bringing them out for us, sometimes when you least expect it! Be the emotion then let it go, imagine your own disposal method, with forgiveness as the goal. I did this in 1987, I moved from Idaho to Hawaii, my 1st sabbatical, and while reading A Course in Miracles, when the course was distributed through word of mouth!
Thank you ❤️
Best video dear ,thank you sooooo much.....You cleared many doubts and showed me a path which i have been unable to discover, i was always chasing externals so that i can avoid inner ,shadow self pain......thank you sooo much
This spoke to everything that I needed to hear right now. I’ve wanted to do shadow work for a long time, but in meditation I kept finding myself hitting walls. As soon as I wanted to get deep, something superficial would distract me. I would be right on the cusp of something major and then I would start thinking about parts of my day, chores, conversations… things that were all irrelevant.
I’ve spent so many years in a career that I didn’t love anymore. I kept looking for ways out, looking for ways to find what I love, looking for my life purpose. Then Covid hit.
My autistic son went into remote learning and I knew that it was time to leave that job. While It’s true that the pandemic has been terrible for our country, it presented an opportunity for me to have a source of income (disaster unemployment), to be able to get in tune with and take care of my son, and to be able get in tune with and take care of myself.
So now I have a time and I have eliminated a lot of outside influences that were hindering me.
Still, I was having difficulties truly tapping into the shadow. I’ve found that the person I was at the beginning of the day that woke up with resolve and intention I was not the same person that I saw at 3 PM or even 5 PM when a drink sounded really good and that drink turned into three or four drinks. It was in looking at this division in my personality that I realize that there’s so many different personalities that reside in this one being that I call myself. I also knew that it is time to except every single one of them for who they are instead of trying to run away.
Last week I saw a class by Teal Swan where she talked about doing left-handed writing or non-dominant hand writing and looking at the different aspects of yourself straight on. Using your left hand to reconcile with these aspects of yourself, you’re also establishing new neural pathways in the brain. It goes into more detail and I won’t take up anymore of your time.
I will just say that I have a long weekend where my son is at his dad’s house I can take the time for myself to begin. This video was exactly what I wanted to see right now. So again thank you very much.
Thank you. I named my fragmented kid side tumbleweed. I remind her she is intense but still lovable. Having sexual abuse seems to cause a split. I've felt parts of me come and go in cycles. I work on keeping grounded everyday. Hard to stay in the body when one knows what it feels like on the other side. One and all
I did shadow work without even knowing i was angry at the world and talking it out on everything and everyone. I am now free and a peace I love it.
Liberate yourself from yourself....🙋♀️🤸♀️🙏🏻❤
"The greatest the feeling, the greatest the healing" ❤
Listening to the Ra material, I realized that I am every color of the spectrum, including the red, orange and yellow. One day I told my inner light that I loved all that we are as one, even the so called negative. When I did this my body felt such relief to the point of tears. We are truly one creator. Love light Light love everyONE💞
You are amazing.
Best explanation I’ve ever heard of how the neglected shadow becomes this negative energetic entity that ends up sabotaging you. It makes sense that love would be THE way to heal it. Amazing content. Thank you.
Liked the video before watching because I know you only make quality content!
Same here. And was not wrong ar all. Thank you Aaron. Regards from Argentina.
Absolutely every time. I hope people who need to know these things are finding them. We care about you all from Ohio!
@@Bruce_Lee_138 huh?
@@Bruce_Lee_138 wooooah aha, woah!.. woah?..... woooooah...
@@Bruce_Lee_138 it's a metaphor... for his.... uh.... mental capacity. Haha
I have literally faced my shadow multiple times in multiple forms. At the time I was ignorant to what it was and didn't know it was a part of my unhealed self. So because of that for a short time my situation got worse because of the trauma of facing the fear but later I recognized the part of me and imagined forgiving it and healing it. Much of my shadow was created by false beliefs of myself and the world. It's a burden that can be a blessing when you learn one part of love is forgiveness, healing and appreciation. Much love to you and know you are not your thoughts you are the being behind the thoughts. Practice presence in your body taking focus away from the mind and if thoughts form only observe them and in time source will be realized more within you until you are present in all moments of your life in pure love and truth. Much love to you all.
I've never heard it expressed that way before and it's so empowering!! Shadow work is summarized as looking at the parts of yourself you've never seen.
I think my reality just blew up. I've been defining shadow work as bringing awareness upon all the wounds we have received but never consciously processed.
My new definition is: Shadow Work is the illumination and conscious reintegration those parts of ourselves we have judged, or rejected, to any degree without realizing that we have done so.
This definition enables conscious confident and powerful self-acceptance simply by reframing it to be neutral.
I don’t know if it will help anyone but I wrote in my diary all the things about me I didn’t like and then I slowly accepted them and said it is okay, it is okay I am loved I love I am perfect....wrote this many many many times and soothed myself to sleep. It worked! The next time I had to face what I would call a undesirable event, so for me public speaking, it was easier to deal with it. I was amazed medications helped but acceptance did a whole lot more.
Aaron, you are one of the most amazing and effective teachers I have encountered on my 72 year journey so far. Your content on your videos is prolific and covers the essentials of spirituality from A to Z that we travelers so much depend upon to go forward on the path. I am most grateful to you.
When the choice occurs, to accept that love is the answer to everything, your existence transforms into a masterpiece of the divine. 🙏☀🌙✨
''A Heart that is Truely at PEACE with it's self, is the Greatest Treasure one can ever find!'' 💜
The amazing feeling after hearing the pain and appreciating him is so awakening
Very intelligent and articulate way of teaching complex subjects . Only someone who has done their work can explain in such an eloquent way .
Thank you and all beautiful lightworkers for spreading truth, love and light ! The world needs you 🤍💡🙏
Excellent video Aaron. Thank you. I wish I watched it 5-7 years ago when I had a midlife crisis where my unchecked shadows became so huge, they completely overwhelmed me and my life crashed into several pieces. Through lots of deep introspection, reflection, acknowledgement, I embraced my shadows and did lots of integration work to heal and achieve an equilibrium. It was a very emotional but a necessary journey because my shadows are firmly part of me and thats why now as I live a life of abundance, when people say love all parts of you, I know exactly what they mean. However, dont do this alone..try and work with a shadow therapist.
I really love the EGO part you mentioned. I was doing that, "Let me love you, so you can go away from my life forever." I will be patient and kind with myself from now on. Thank you Aaron.
Hey, thanks, buddy. Your channel is a godsend!
The insight in your videos have been a true blessing. But, this one is the best for me. We are similar in so many ways. After 15 years of inner work, I can now “hear” the message. Thank you for doing the work, and sharing your results. You and Eckhart have been used in ways I could not understand before. 🎁✅😎
Really good video my friend! Summarizes a lot that I'm going through and now I know how to go about it, thank you 🙏.
Fantastic video. Every sentence is a gem. I am doing shadow work for a few yeara now and for a long time I didnt feel a difference. But the last 12 months are amazing. Anxiety is gone, I have so much more energy, I manifest with ease when I release the blockages. But its not even about material manifestations. Its about being at peace. The only thing I didnt do is to Thank the shadow parts that are being released. It makes sense so I will include that into my routine. Thank you Aaron. You are a man of wisdom and your videos are the best out there.
Thanks
Wow, this made me emotional "make the tree good and it's fruits will be delicious and sweet"... Thank you, I needed that
Awareness, Forgiveness, Integration/Gratefulness
8:58 - Love allows everything its natural expression. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What I find fascinating, is the fractal nature of reality. How you described the shadow in a person, that has to be integrated again to become whole, is exactly how it is for the entire universe. The negative polarities reintegrate with the positive polarities, to become whole again. The micro and the macro everything resembles its self. Beautiful!
Thank you SO MUCH!
This is the first video on shadow work I've found that spoke in down to earth language I could connect with, and the information is condensed and seems genuinely actionable. I'm going to re-listen and take notes. Thank you.
I have to tell you! I seen a RAINBOW around you from the left all the way to the right. It was very neat to see. This is the first time I have ever seen this before. 🙏 I'm impressed with you and myself 😊
Aaron!! This is the most accurate, detailed & moving summarized articulation I have ever heard/read on this subject.
Right on time because I have committed to doing more in 2020. I have some wounds that have recently opened up that I need to work through. It involves the shadow!
Wow, perfect timing! I just went thru a week of pain and fear around finances where I felt I was being taken over by something else because I felt suicidal as I saw no way out. Lack of finances is the main thing that shakes me to my core but this time it has such a hold on me that I finally figured out it was something I needed to work through and to see in a bigger way... AKA do the shadow work and love it and it's message until it dissipates. Thank you so much for this video!!
Probably the best video I ever saw on youtube, went after, continuously paused and played the video until I wrote down everything you said word for word
Aaron, your wisdom never gets old. You are the best teacher I've ever known, a true miracle worker! " a miracle, to attain its full efficacy, must be expressed in a language that the recipient can understand without fear", (ACIM, T-2.IV.5).
Hey, THANKYOU. you act as my therapist, you act as the voice i need to hear.
Thank you for sticking to the topic and to the point and refraining from pointless personal stories and making the content purposeful💕
Aaron you are the newest part of myself that i recently manifested...i love you man...from Kenya-Africa
You are definitely channeling Jesus in the modern lay man's terminology. Everything that you say, comes out orderly and to the point, while at the same time being right on the mark of true intuition. Thanks, again.
Yes bro 😍
I'm going in the forest each morning and meditating 🧘♂️ for 15-30 minutes for my true essence and some physical exercise lol 😂
Also watching you, Sir Eckhart Tolle And also listening over and over again one of the best book "Psycho Cybernetics"...
I believe that I'm Love and I'm here for Love.
I respect others unconditionally and I feel compassion for me and for others..
❤️
Thank You so much bro for your amazing work.
You're amazing. ❤️
Love you. ❤️
The way I see healing/shadow work is inspired by you and your channel:
Healing is the journey of searching for wrong thoughts, that stay as blockages between parts of ourselves and make us feel negative emotions!!
Thank you man for everything, I honestly owe you a lot of the clarity in my head!!
This is the absolute BEST explanation on Shadow Work!!! Thank you for this video!
Thank you, I'm so ready to really look at my shadows. ❤
Thank you Aaron! I recognized that i just did the integration part this morning by feeling genuinely grateful for the discovery of previous hidden parts of myself. I can see that some events and phases in my life had to take place for me to develop the necessary maturity, self-compassion and groundedness to actually accept these parts. I believe that i have seen them before but have brushed them of as they were SO FAR from what i believed i believed consciously. Its quite inspiring to make these kind of discovery. Many thanks to the Universe. Everything is perfect right NOW. Much Lover, Oliver
THANK YOU SO MUCH I didn't know I have been doing shadow work allllll my life 😕 I've been too scared to work on my self love crafts but now I know I'm ready thank u so much. PTSD and triggers are a big part of my life but I'm always telling myself ( it's okay you just need to heal ) I've been so aware even before I knew I was aware
"Oh come here let me love you so you can go away forever"...🥺 (not the way to go) absolutely priceless information... THANK YOU SO MUCH !!
Thank You, now I understand. 🙏.The universe will bless you for your excellent work. I send you love and gratitude.
So beautifully broken down and shared, thank you!!! 👃💛💛
Thank you Aaron! I Love the way you teach! It resonates with me (although I never thought religion made any sene)! I appreciate you beyond words! Thanks my friend! You have wonderful energy! You are definitely a bright Light ! Thank you for all of your practical guidance especially✨️
This was one of the best and most helpful videos I have watched in a long time. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I look forward to my healing process.
Truly appreciate this video. Been stumbling upon lots of shadow work videos but couldn’t find one with practical steps to start the integration. Let the journey begin!!!
I like the way he presented the and explained Shadow Work.
Best 15min video summary of shadow work! Ive been doing this work for years now, and this video summarizes it and gives a great and simple envelope of the main ideas of shadow work. Great job Aaron thanks a ton!
Namaste🙏❤️. Thank you!
I just wanted to say thank you I’ve been having a hard time finding a video for someone who wants to get started that really hits all the important points and is understandable and approachable for all 🙏
So glad you said that at the end about not rushing it!! I totally would have thought like that.
Thank you for teaching us. I am starting my shadow work and will be using these methods to heal and love myself
Wherever you go, there you are.
beautifully spoken and shared. Thank you.
Concise and Hopeful. This was a wonderful video. Thank you so much Aaron. glad to have found this.
Your so peaceful right now.
You’ve explained it so well others channels made it difficult for me to understand but this is so well explained
