Working with Patterns and Loops (Shadow Work: Step 3)
Repeating patterns are clear signals of where growth is calling. Patterns and loops are not random accidents—they are signposts pointing back to unconscious beliefs that are still shaping how you engage with the world. By noticing these cycles, you gain the opportunity to disrupt them and choose differently. How Patterns and Loops Form In Step…
Working with Beliefs (Shadow Work: Step 2)
Your beliefs are blueprints for your experience. Many of the thoughts and reactions you have day-to-day are influenced by beliefs that were formed long before you realized you had a choice. These unconscious beliefs often operate quietly in the background, shaping how you see yourself and how you respond to the world. Shadow work invites…
Working with Feelings (Shadow Work: Step 1)
Shadow work is the practice of exploring and integrating the parts of ourselves that often remain hidden—our subconscious patterns, unresolved emotions, and suppressed experiences. One of the most accessible entry points into this work is learning to recognize and work with our feelings. Emotions serve as indicators of the energy we’re carrying, often pointing to…
Shadow Work: A Four-Step Path to Emotional Alchemy
Shadow work has become a popular term in personal growth spaces, yet its true depth often gets lost in vague or trendy interpretations. At its core, shadow work is the intentional process of bringing unconscious beliefs, hidden emotions, and disempowering patterns into the light of awareness. It’s not about “fixing” yourself—it’s about reclaiming the parts…
Embracing Catalyst: Finding Strength in Challenge
There’s a pivotal choice we face every time life throws something hard our way: Will this break me—or build me? It may not always feel like it, but how we interpret and respond to our challenges plays a huge role in shaping our growth. Some situations test us deeply, but within each one lies the…
Choose Who You Want to Be: The Power and Responsibility of Free Will
There’s a beautiful — and sometimes sobering — truth woven into every choice we make: we are always choosing who we are becoming. Free will isn’t simply about having options; it’s about how we engage with those options in a way that reflects our personal integrity and sovereignty. At first glance, free will can feel…
Polarity and the Energetic Average
It’s easy to treat our well-being as something to compartmentalize. We care for our bodies but ignore our thoughts. We focus on spiritual growth but forget to eat lunch. We journal and meditate but push through exhaustion as though rest were a luxury instead of a need. But the truth is: wholeness isn’t about any…
Alchemizing with Elevated Thought: Transmuting Fear and Reclaiming Flow
In my original post on Elevated Thought, I shared a framework to help identify whether your energy is in a state of unhindered, hindered, or constricted flow. Since then, I’ve explored how that awareness can be applied to shape the way we move forward with trust and spiritual discernment. But what about the moments when…
Level 9: Conscious Mind (9 Levels of Consciousness)
Not every thought comes from deep within. Some are right at the surface—like mental chatter, snap judgments, or the stories we tell ourselves about what’s happening. This is the domain of the Conscious Mind: the part of awareness that interprets, decides, and responds in real time. While it doesn’t access the full depth of our…
Level 7: Unconscious Mind (9 Levels of Consciousness)
Some patterns feel impossible to shake. No matter how much we grow or how many tools we use, certain behaviors, reactions, or beliefs seem to persist. That’s often because they’re rooted deeper than conscious thought—buried in the Unconscious Mind. This level of consciousness reveals the hidden beliefs and assumptions quietly shaping our reality from within.…
