The Shadow Self

This spread is designed for times when you feel an internal constraint or cannot access your dormant resources. It illuminates suppressed traits and the reasons you tend to hide them from yourself and others.

You will recognize the potential and strength stored within your shadow, as well as the effects of gradually acknowledging it. Focus primarily on the reasons for rejecting these aspects of your character.

The main step following the reading is to gently integrate these acknowledged traits into daily life. This process is rarely simple, as shadow work demands thorough honesty with oneself.
