Hello and welcome to enlightened empaths, your community for the

spiritually awakened, where we discuss, explore and connect with fellow

empaths, healers, intuitives, and seekers. and Today we're going to be talking about the shadow, that part of you that contains your repressed

negative emotions and often chooses to stay in the dark. Shadow emotions include things like

anger, fear, shame, guilt, embarrassment, and repressed sadness.

And you know, a lot of people might be listening to this and thinking, you know,

Samantha and Denise, we don't want to listen to this, we don't want to talk about that negative stuff but we think it's important right Denise?

It is because the only way you can heal from it and move forward is to shine a light on it or to pull that route out. And I think that's where so many of us are right now is

enough is enough, line in the sand, I don't want to carry this anymore, and we've talked about this

in many shows of a lot of us feel this need to do

healing the ancestral lineage or ending cyclical patterns or it's time so I think this is a really poignant episode for all of us.

Yeah, beautifully said and I like that image of pulling it out by the root because you've got to get right to it.

Now, Ali Anderson says your shadow is all of the things positive and

negative that you've denied about yourself and hidden beneath the surface of the

mask you forgot you're wearing. I love that definition.

Oh my, yes. And he says your shadow isn't a thing or even a place, but a relationship you have with certain parts of

yourself that you've hidden. And by improving this relationship, you can improve your life.

And this is something Denise and I strongly believe in and this is what we want to talk about.

You know, we're so often told that our shadow emotions are negative and should be released,

healed, fought against or forgiven.

We hear terms like free your shadow and face your shadow.

But what we want to ask you to consider in this week's show is this.
