Owning Your Light Shadow

7/15/2020

4 Comments

 
We dove into the dark shadow- now how about the light?
 
Interestingly, the light can be as scary for some as the dark is for others. Some of you are hardwired to look at what’s not working. And you fix it and you work it, and you fix it some more. You’re always willing to look at your faults and what’s not working. You’re incredibly familiar with your shame and your anger etc. Yes, you may still have stuff in your shadow, but you consistently work at bettering yourself.
 
Now if I ask you about your beauty, your greatness, your gifts and talents, your generosity of spirit, your compassionate heart, or your light, you may dismiss it or deny it. You may want to believe it’s there, but it doesn’t feel right to claim it. Or you may truly think that there’s just so much wrong with you that you have no light.
 
Either way, all of that goodness is in the shadow. It is just as powerful to excavate the light shadow as it is the dark.
 
Try this for a moment, say this statement and let me know if it triggers you: “I am magnificent.”
 
Be aware if your negative ego wants to jump in and take it to the whole extreme of, “Oh yes, I am completely magnificent,” said with arrogance. That’s not what I’m talking about. I mean true ownership of your magnificence and light. You may giggle and think that’s silly- “Ok Tina sure, I’m magnificent.” Said with an eye roll.
 
 Yes, you are. Can you own that?
 
Can you own your magnificence? Can you own who you are beyond this body? Can you truly own the light of you?
 
I tell you all the time to be the light, but if you refuse to acknowledge your own light, how can you bring more of the light into the world? 
 
Let’s try this, look in the mirror. No excuses, pick up your reading device and walk to a mirror. Are you resisting me? Good- then you need this more than ever. Look yourself in the eyes, acknowledge yourself, and say:
 
“I see you. I see your light. I see your love. You are beautiful.”
 
That might be phenomenally difficult for some of you and it may even evoke tears or wanting to turn away. But it’s time to acknowledge it. And did you even do the exercise, or dismiss me outright and ignore what I asked of you? If so, you just got a big answer. 
 
There’s so much darkness that we’re seeing in the world and yes absolutely we need to heal our own dark, but if we only heal our dark, we are lopsided if we don’t simultaneously bring forth and acknowledge the truth of our beauty, love, magnificence, joy, etc.
 
Remember, only the light can heal the darkness. Which means- only your light can heal your darkness. Sit with that. 
 
Sometimes we shove aside the light to protect it, especially those who grew up in difficult or abusive households. But as I said last week, there are gradients to everything and it doesn’t take an overtly abusive household to make one hide their light. There’s also a lot of societal messages about not standing out and tamping down your light/uniqueness or, you may have heard, “who do you think you are?”- in relation to what makes you wonderfully you.
 
As you own your light, I’m not saying you suddenly have to be visible to everybody, but you do need to be visible to yourself. You need to be willing to see your magnificence. To tap into that and let that expand.
 
Again I say, in order to be the light, you need to actually be willing to see your light. Without caveat, without diminishing it or limiting how much you’ll see.
 
What about you is filled with light? Take a peek this week and pull it out of the shadow and into your consciousness. The world is waiting.

Agree with Cynthia - lately Light has been an issue for me - Once in a dream I met the Guardian of Light - Light you cannot remember The Unfathomable Light - easier, it was, Than the Mirror and seeing myself as
“I see you. I see your light. I see your love. You are beautiful.”

See it in Tina, very easy - To say it to me **and mean it ** would be the ultimate evidence of my Self Acceptance

:) "Are you resisting me? Good- then you need this more than ever." :) yep, sister !
