Accept your light, and transmute your shadows

You know that time when you're in the grocery store and you give "the eyes" to that parent with the loud boisterous child? Or that time when you "flip the bird" to that annoying driver? Or that belittling comment you say to your child? You know that feeling you have at times that actually takes delight in abusing and shaming others, and wielding power in unfair ways?

Did you know that these feelings, actions and comments say a lot about you, and what you're trying to repress within you? These behaviours and thoughts pop up when we fail to acknowledge our shadow side. We are all guilty of hurting or deriding others at time; it's the unflattering side of our personality, our human experience, that needs acknowledgement and a lot of love to heal and move on to the light.

Today, witness your shadow side. Notice how it can distort your view of the world around you. Become aware of the way you judge others are actually a reflection of your fears, anxieties and beliefs. Learn to embrace your weaker aspects and learn from them; if you continue to deny them, reject them or spiral in self-contempt you are hurting yourself more than you know, and you are hurting others and the planet at the same time.

Today, be tolerant of yourself. If you do, your shadows will give way to light and healing. Dare to look on your dark side and transmute icky feelings into Love and Light. It's part of your karma!

Remember, however, that when you shine light into darkness, the shadows appear to be bigger than what they actually represent. If you are too fearful or uneasy, ask for help!

Recapture your Light. Accept that you are a luminous being. Shine on!
