The primary focus of twin flame healing lies in engaging in shadow work. It is a proactive approach that propels you towards union, but let me forewarn you: we're about to delve into some brutally honest truths.
Twin flame healing entails facing uncomfortable realities about oneself. Although it is a long-term endeavor, it is the most significant action you can take to achieve union with both yourself and your twin.
Now, what exactly is shadow work, how do you undertake it, and why does it matter?
What is Shadow Work?
Before embarking on any action, it is essential to comprehend the concept.
To begin with, there are aspects of ourselves that we are consciously aware of—our conscious selves.
Additionally, we have little to no awareness of certain aspects of ourselves. These subconscious elements can have a profound impact on our lives, but they remain deeply buried in our subconscious minds. They are parts of ourselves that we disown on a subconscious level to such an extent that we are oblivious to their existence. Often, others can easily perceive these aspects in us, yet we vehemently deny them when they are pointed out.
This is a perfectly normal human tendency. I understand that many of you may be thinking, "That doesn't apply to me." However, this is precisely why it poses a significant challenge in twin flame relationships.
Suppressing these subconscious elements is never beneficial. It hinders progress in any relationship, but especially in a twin flame connection where everything is reflected to us. We cannot conceal these aspects.
A crucial aspect of the twin flame journey is confronting and addressing these buried elements that hold us back. This process is known as shadow work, as it involves bringing these "dark pieces" into the light.
Often Overlooked but So Important
I have a personal connection to the twin flame journey and spend a considerable amount of time conversing with individuals about their unique paths.
I feel compelled to emphasize this point because shadow work is frequently disregarded. It is one of the primary reasons why pe becomes stuck in their twin flame journey. They become preoccupied with seeking number patterns, twin flame telepathy, or twin flame readings.
Don't get me wrong; these things can serve as valuable tools to guide you on the journey ahead. However, they cannot do everything for you. If your focus is solely on your twin and waiting for them to figure things out, you risk prolonging or even failing your twin flame journey in this lifetime.
For the sake of both yourself and your twin, please avoid falling into this trap. You have a rare opportunity to achieve union simply by being aware of the journey. Seize this opportunity.
How to Engage in Shadow Work for Twin Flames
Now that we understand what we're dealing with, let's explore how it is practically accomplished.
Examine Your Triggers and Patterns
The inherent difficulty in dealing with these issues lies in their elusiveness. When we are consciously aware of a flaw or problem within ourselves, we may initially overlook it, but eventually, we strive to address it. Shadow work involves first IDENTIFYING the factors that hold us back so that we can effectively confront them.
To do this, we need to scrutinize the patterns in our lives. However, this is rarely a simple task, as human memory is prone to flaws, and we constantly deceive ourselves (which is where journaling becomes incredibly useful for shadow work). Examine the instances in which things went wrong and try to identify recurring patterns.
Of course, this is easier said than done. If it were easy, everyone would have achieved union by now.
Let's consider a common example: the fear of abandonment. It is a prevalent issue that holds many people back in their relationships. The prospect of becoming too vulnerable with another person means exposing oneself to the possibility of rejection and pain. Consequently, many of us develop a reflex to safeguard against this pain by not allowing ourselves to become too close. As a defense mechanism, we withdraw or push people away before we establish deep connections.
The fear of abandonment can manifest in various ways, but the example mentioned above is quite common. It is a problem in general, but particularly detrimental to the twin flame journey. However, we cannot even begin to address it until we first NOTICE the pattern.
It is incredibly common for us to convince ourselves that we do not possess such issues. Failing to confront the truth we hide from ourselves is the fastest way to delay the union of your twin flame.
Resolve the Root Cause
Update: A highly effective approach to accomplishing this (or focusing on your overall healing process) is through the use of twin flame Reiki.
Once we identify the problem, the next step is to tackle it. This entails tracing it back to its origins as far as possible.
This is where considerable time and energy come into play, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. For many individuals, meditation, and journaling serve as valuable starting points, but it ultimately involves honestly facing and improving upon our flaws. Twin flame shadow work is fundamentally about brutally honest self-improvement.
Repeat the Process
After confronting a part of our shadow self and addressing the root cause, it can be tempting to believe that union with our twin flame is just around the corner.
While you may be correct, and you have certainly taken a step in the right direction, the journey is rarely a "one-and-done" experience. The healing process typically entails dealing with a problem and then repeating the cycle.
Initially, the early stages of shadow work may be somewhat easier (although not necessarily easy). As your journey of healing and introspection progresses, you will become more adept at recognizing these patterns and addressing them. However, you will also confront deeper-rooted issues along the way.
