4 Ways Courageous Mom’s Respect the Shadow: Love Yourself into the Light

Bringing reverent balance to all your parts, requires mom’s to respect their shadow aspects and to love them into the light. Mom’s have a tendency to sacrifice, to hide, to abandon their own needs and dreams, as they are busy caring for everyone else. Over time, shadow aspects of our personality can rear their heads in all kinds of different ways. These buzz killers can show up as self-doubt, criticism, gossip, the mean girl, judge Judy, Tonya the tyrant and the like.

These are the aspects of all of us that were born as a strategy of protection. These are the parts of our personality that didn’t get to work through their true feelings at the time, because it may not have seemed appropriate to express these unattractive and undesirable parts of ourselves. Instead, we stuffed them way back in the closet, tried to keep them hidden while mama just kept pushing onward taking care of everyone else.  

As more mom’s begin to walk a path of consciousness, bringing higher awareness to the idea that loving all of our sweet and sour parts is the key to experiencing wholeness, doing so gives moms the opportunity to relate differently to themselves working with these shadow aspects of their personality.

So, what can mom’s do to diffuse the power of the shadow that shows up in unwanted and problematic ways? How can we bring these less attractive parts into balance without alienating them further and simultaneously diffuse stress, exhaustion, over-giving, and feelings of not-enough-ness?

  1. Be Honest. This not-so-pretty “part” is still one of your parts. And, hey guess what? Everyone on the planet has these shadow aspects. It’s the people who can be honest with themselves and lovingly work with these disconnected parts who live a more conscious and balanced life filled with fulfilment and joy. So, get honest with yourself and put a name to this ‘shadowey’ part.

 

  1. Befriend the “part”. Begin a dialog with this aspect of yourself. Ask her, “What do you need?” What are you trying to teach me?” “What do I need to know about you?” “When do you show up and why?” This act of courage can take place as a journaling activity where you write down the questions in your journal and let that part speak directly by answering you back in the first person. Upon reflection, you may discover this “part” was formed as a way to protect you. This “part” of you has valuable information that you need to acknowledge for healthy balance inside yourself. What does she want you to be aware of?

 

  1. Demonstrate love and compassion for that “part.” Just like your child when they are feeling hurt, angry or upset, nothing sooths the pain as well as mama’s loving compassion and mama’s tender acceptance. Can you do this for yourself? Allow your Higher Self, that wisdom filled part of you that is made of Love and Light, to do the work. Think of it like self-parenting. When you begin to understand this “part” with more curiosity and demonstrate your understanding, acceptance, and compassion, this “part” of you can begin to relax, to feel safe, to feel seen and heard. This is the secret sauce to loving this “part” into the light. This step is how healing happens.

 

  1. Move into reverent balance internally. By loving all of your parts you bring a sense of inner stability to your consciousness. You come into the middle which is a place of neutrality and equanimity. You step out of the polarity of right and wrong and stop invalidating yourself for the “parts” that sometimes act out as a way to get your love and attention.

 

Relating to all of your parts with love and compassion is how to graciously strengthen the relationship you have with yourself with reverence and respect. It’s this act that returns you to a balanced way of being.

Given the dynamic nature of the market, the emerging legal and regulatory climate, and the sheer volatility of crypto assets, it can be a daunting task to get your crypto currency back once you have fallen victim to one of the numerous crypto currency related schemes out there. If you have been defrauded with crypto currency the road to getting your crypto currency back can be a very tedious one, particularly since most people don't have the best knowledge of how crypto currency works. If you fall into that category my advice to you would be to follow the following steps:

How to Recover Crypto currency

* Contact a professional recovery expert (RECOVERYCOINGROUP@GMAIL.COM)

* Provide detailed information about the theft (wallet addresses, amount stolen, and time of theft).

* Wait for the stipulated recovery time.

* Check your wallet for your crypto currency chargeback.

This was how I was able to recover my lost Bitcoin of about 189kUSD.

This is for all those who have lost dearly trading binary options and crypto, Mostly, when you are sure that your broker has been scamming you out of tons of cash, it's normal for you to feel confused and down, but I can assure you that this was the same case with me. I was lucky to meet with Mr. Aaron Gabriel, a computer wizard, and he helped get 80% of my funds back in no less than 48 hours. I am so grateful. I think someone else might need his help, which is why I have to leave this post here as a sign of gratitude for his job well done.

I was sitting on my couch on a Sunday morning when I overheard them talking about Clever Credit Fix. I had to make more inquiry about how I could get this done without falling victim to a hacker again with the intention to seek advice regarding my late payment, negative items and how I could raise my credit score across my three credit bureaus reports. I got in contact with the hacker the following days and he replied quickly about how I could get everything done within the next 72 hours. I never knew I could live a happily live once more until I paid off my outstanding credit debt on my credit report and got approved for an auto loan deal worth over $178k within few weeks then I can finally testify that I got my credit score been boosted to 810 without no physical contact or any traces been found on my credit report activities. You can make contact with him anytime through C L E V E R C R E D I T F I X 1 @ G M A I L . C O M

After reading different reviews about XAP CREDIT SOLUTION and contacting them there after, I had a turn around in my credit score and I am happy I followed my conviction and contacted XAP. My husband’s credit was also fixed as well as that of my dad, so I can confidently say XAP is professional and knowledgeable about what he does. For those with bad credit and are interested in fixing it, I will recommend you write XAPCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM as quickly as possible. Thanks

I applied for a house and a car loan but was rejected because I had a low credit score of 554 with a couple of negative items, I was really devastated. I ran into a former colleague, I explained everything to him and he eventually introduced me to an expert who happens to be a former FICO agent. Within 96hours, he had my credit score raised, wiped out the entire negative items and also added some positive tradelines to my report. I promised to get him many referrals if he was able to help me out of the bad situation. So, I’m confidently recommending “C L E V E R C R E D I T F I X 1@ G M A I L . C O M” for your credit score & credit report issues

What more can I say working with XAPCREDITSOLUTION at GMAIL dot COM has been great. I won a prize and XAP has been fixing my bad credit. He is the TRUTH. He is the GOAT on fixing bad credit. I’ve had great conversations with him. I’ve gotten numerous negative items removed from my report. I’ve gotten school loans removed within 2 weeks as well as credit card debts. My credit score was restored from low 540 to high 700s. It took a very long time for me to get bad credit and I thought it will take time to get everything that’s negative removed but XAP did it in less than few weeks. I would recommend anyone that really wants to get their credit repaired. XAP will make it happen and assist you in numerous ways to obtain higher credit limits, loans, e.t.c. God bless.

When it comes to recovery of funds either from binary options, crypto, forex and ponzi schemes . HACK WEST is the best recovery agent around. They have recovered my funds and also funds of my friends, colleagues who were in a similar situation as I was. It is crazy when exchanges like StoxMarket aren't taken down after cheating several hardworking individuals wanting to invest to attain financial freedom. Personally, I invested $350,000 expecting 60% as promised. Since I deposited, I haven't been able to withdraw neither my capital nor profit. I reached out to my account manager but all effort was in vain. Weeks went by before I stumbled on ' HACKWEEST AT WRITEME DOT COM' on Google after seeing their reviews on Quora. They were able to recover my funds in less than a week. Thanks to West for working me through all the processes and how to prevent getting scammed again.

We just have to be careful out there. I invested the sum of $ 305,000 in Bitcoin with a supposed crypto currency company I met online. Just after two months, my initial investment had increased from $501,950. This made me feel so good, as the investment grew rapidly in just two months. When I tried to make a withdrawal, my request was denied, all efforts to make withdrawal declined, then I realized I had been ripped off. Thanks to Hack West for helping me recover my money back. HACKWEST at WRITEME dot COM is helping crypto scam victims recover stolen crypto coins from scammers.
