Shadow Work - Chair Technique 🪑

Shadow work - Chair technique 🪑

I thought about this yesterday, while I was having a conversation with @sonofreddoinverno and He reminded me the existence of this technique.

I thought this could be useful somehow...

Shadow Work - Chair Technique 🪑

Shadow work ain't something easy. Looking into ourselves isn't always nice, especially when we've been avoiding it for a while.

In psychology there's something called "projection", to sum up: is the act of projecting something we don't like about ourselves on another person. This will cause a negative feeling towards the person we project on, instead of ourselves. By doing this, our brain protects our self-esteem and our sense of internal coherence. (Keep this info in your mind a little, I'm about to get to the point)

Most of the people tend to solve this in an "abstract way" with meditation, for example. But since we're not all the same...this technique is something more physical, It require a lil bit of..."trusting the process".

Take a chair, place it in front of you.

Focus. Imagine a person sitting on that chair (Yourself or someone else).

You're going to have a dialogue, talk about events/things you need to work on/things you don't like about someone, or even yourself. Whatever you think your shadow work needs to be. Project everything you have on that person on the chair. Ask for explanations, say your needs at loud...

Now you're going to change your pov, sit on the other chair and reply to yourself.

End the practice when you feel like you've had enough.

Take it easy, cause you're going to be at ease only after a while, it may be really weird at the beginning.

After you get used to it you may start to perceive that chair in a different way (example: it might become hot/cold/far/near etc.). Try to pay attention to how you feel because that is going to be one of the hints to work on, find an explanation to your feelings.

It's not over yet...

After every time you practice this... you're going to feel in a certain way... sometimes relieved, sometimes not so good.

Write it down, read it, give yourself an interpretation and choose the next step to take

Good luck ✨

After you get better, can you answer how can we contact our soulmate? 🤔

After You Get Better, Can You Answer How Can We Contact Our Soulmate? 🤔

mm i’m feeling quite bored/lonely so i’ll do it now if you don’t mind..

so i have no idea how to do that. my methods are confusing and like.. there’s no gurantee of anything whatsoever xd i don’t think about it often tbh.. my mind was very preoccupied with ‘work’ lately. but you see, i heard that astral travel (which i don’t recommend too much) or lucid dreaming (which is a better option) can help! but from what i know lucid dreaming takes practice, like learning how to remember dreams (every night), during sleep time making an alarm often (like every hour or something?) so that you can dream while being concious in the dream (it won’t affect your body, because it’s just a dream and you will wake up) so in lucid dreams you can do whatever you want! so you could say ‘i wanna meet my soulmate and talk with them’ and do that! i hope this helped somehow!

Additional notes about guardian angels:

•you may fall under the guardianship of more than one

•your guardian angel’s very first decision at the moment of creation was to love you and accept its role as your guardian angel

•your guardian angel knows you completely and it’s knowledge is only second to God’s because it sees your life as it unfolds in time whereas God has known your entire life since before mortal life existed

•Fr. Ripperger (a Catholic exorcist) did a very cool talk about guardian angels that is available on YouTube

Thank you anon!! 🕊

got it.

Thank you for explaining! But what would be energy work? I looked it up and it seems to be some ancient techniques to heal energy balance in the body. I don't know what any of that means. And how would you confirm that it's god and not a trickster identity? I've heard plenty about those.

jay explained energy work already properly !

i had done a few tests to make sure but i didn't believe it was him in the beginning either

asked him to strike me down. he did not, he did destroy a lamppost and said "sorry" before asking if that was good enough

asked him questions and he liked answering in riddles the more hyper specific the question but he would answer in very specific ways the more vague the question

his overall energy / vibe. his energy is intense and you can tell when he was there and when he wasnt. rooms feel unexplainably warm ,, brighter ,, and a loud voice out of nowhere pops out sometimes. you can tell when he leaves

he also would randomly tell me when something bad is going to happen like, "move to your right", and a car would later on almost hit the spot where I was at 😀. this has happened more than once

he doesn't have much malicious intent. if anything, he's like a really innocently curious guy who likes the most random things (he enjoys some songs and he ships things 😭 ,, it was a trip to find out)

when we were at church, i asked if he was here. "yes, i like the singing sometimes", but i asked if it was his house and he just said, "I have quite a few too many houses then but I'll allow it"

God is a very silly, kind of sassy man who likes changing his voice very often and telling me the most random things. He's passed all my tests to find out if he's a trickster and I even used subs to make sure of it. he's a great guy to work with !

thank you so much for responding!!

This is something that I very recently came to realize: that there are no wrong or right choices and that the universe just wants you to make a decision so that it can provide opportunities/doors. And that if you come to realize this, you will no longer be paralyzed by decisions - for fear of making the wrong one. So I thought this might help, and I had mentioned it in the new pick a card post. :)

Hi, I wanted to ask since you seem to be a good reader, how do you clear your energy before tarot? I know not having a clear head or energy can sometimes mess with the reading and I want to get as objective as possible here but I don’t know what to do aside from taking deep breaths so any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, I Wanted To Ask Since You Seem To Be A Good Reader, How Do You Clear Your Energy Before Tarot? I

hello!

i use intention. intention is very powerful! when creating my blog, or posts i set intentions in it. i’m a person who generally has a neutral view on things, yet sometimes mental illnesses can get in the way, so what i do is ‘distract myself’ so i can focus on the readings better. for the readings i use the intention ‘’please, show me what i can/should say!’’ and get then messages through cards and intention.  

personally, i’m flattered you call me a good reader because like, unlike many i don’t do meditation, or i don’t clean energies the ways it’s normally done so i don’t know whether what i do is right or wrong. mostly, my intuition is correct because of trusting that whatever card/message i get is right. like, when i do readings, there are certain things that come to my head, and then my ego could deny it or be confused, that lets me know that the first thought i had was correct! 

when i did personal astrology mini readings, i just said whatever came to my mind (without cards), details, energy, auras - and i tried to write down the things that instantly came to my mind (it’s like, you need to recognize what you think for the first milisecond) and that practiced my intuition. which is why now, most of the time, i don’t really do anything? i come to tumblr with the intention of waiting for asks/messages, i answer asks with the intention to help and answer questions and i do readings with the intention of reading for others. everything has intention. 

when you open the fridge, you do it with the intention to eat. when you organize your desk, you do it with the intention of clearing your energy. doing things with intention can help you believe things and manifest even! you can say ‘’i intend to drink this tea, and everytime i drink it i will be lucky in my studies’’. intention is like a good luck charm! i mentioned a lot of this in me healing with me vol 1. but for reading it’s the same. instead of overthinking and worrying whether it’s right or wrong, just ‘trust’ that your guides will give you the cards you are meant to see/show and give you messages you were meant to hear. by intending while shuffling, for example ‘’the cards will show me the answer to the question of (...) without my mind interfering’’ you could get answers that have nothing to do with you! you could also try asking your guides per cards things like, ‘’are these cards the answer?’’ ‘’is this answer correct?’’ or ‘’did my mind/energy interfere with it?’’
