The Shadow Speaks: Recent Episodes

Linda J Cole

As the global awakening roars on, many people are embarking on spiritual journeys. Whether one meditates, does yoga or experiments with plant medicines like Ayhausca or DMT, they eventually come face to face with their shadow. Your shadow is like a container that holds all the parts of yourself that have been denied, repressed and forgotten and shadow work is the invitation to call these parts out of their hiding place and bring awareness to why they were hidden. The shadow speaks to us in a language that is unique to each of us through projections we impose onto others in an effort to establish a signal to direct you to what needs healing. I draw from concepts in my book, SHADOW WORK: A GUIDED JOURNAL FOR MEETING THE STRANGER WITHIN that I wrote after doing 10 years of in-depth shadow work in order to heal from trauma in my own life. I offer tips and strategies to help you identify how your shadow is operating in your life and a perspective that supports you in dialoguing with the parts of you that need healing. The shadow is illusive so I guide you in setting the stage to invite your shadow to show up and reveal the self-deception that has been controlling your life, keeping you in a perpetual loop with the same experiences happening over and over again, but with different players and different circumstances. I provide practical examples to help you reveal the subtler nature of the shadow before it leads to overwhelming conditions. Capture the dynamic of your relationship with your shadow and learn to identify the parts of yourself that you have ignored and in some cases, have become lost. Begin the journey of calling all parts of yourself home so that you may live in a state of wholeness and be in alignment with your true purpose and claim the gifts that you are meant to share with the world. Learn the benefits of working with your shadow and strategies to make your shadow your ally. Join me every other Thursday for empowering discussions and occasional guests to help you get to know yourself better and learn the language of your shadow.

This will be the last episode I will for THE SHADOW SPEAKS. The time has come for me to move beyond the shadow and step into the next phase of my life path and purpose. I may continue the podcast channel with a different name and content to help lift you into higher frequencies.

Though inner work will continue, it is now moving in the direction of being present and co-creating what will be. In the present, it is about embracing liberation and celebrating the long journey to liberation and claiming Victory of the Light!

I am in the process of developing a couple of courses based on this work at a much deeper level. I am also considering creating a membership program to help others walk through this process. Ironically, the more engaged you are at this level is a great indicator that you yourself are in training to help others with their shadow work. I will use this channel to keep you posted.

Love and thank you, thank you to all who have taken this journey with me. It is my deepest hope that it has served you well.

With the energy currents adrift on our planet now, our healing journeys can be quite challenging. You may have found yourself at one time or another making a shocking statement like; I must be cursed, or punished, or even exiled from life. You may not even take these off-handed remarks serious, but it might be helpful to consider that these fleeting thoughts may be revealing some deeply held beliefs that you are unaware of.

Make the decision to let go of overarching beliefs that could be playing a role in your life. Release the anchor that has held many unhealthy and limiting beliefs in place once and for all.

Becoming familiar with your chakra system is an essential practice in getting to know your multidimensional self. It is simply viewing yourself from multiple perspectives that already exist within your energy body. Become aware of your seven internal chakras and practice interacting with their energy and you will begin to develop a relationship with your energy system that will guide you in your healing process. 

Learning to heal your multidimensional self really starts with broadening your perspective about yourself through your energy body. Become aware of your energy body and learn to listen to what your energy is saying to you.

Meditation is an essential part of most people's healing and spiritual practice, yet it can become stagnant and may start to feel more like an obligation than a help full tool.    Consider that your concept of how mediation can be used is limiting and expand what you have probably already engaged in but did not get all the benefits available to you. 

Learn how to direct your meditations so that you may be more productive in seeing and facing your shadow as well as co-creating the life you dream of.

We can deal with hurtful situations that may seem difficult to cope with in many ways. We may push them aside for a time. We may ignore it, try not to think about it or pretend it doesn't exist. Coping strategies are healthy, but unless you have some process or practice of unpacking this stuff, it's possible you may lose sight of it.

We have become masters of denial. The most horrific scenario can play out and we will go right back to our daily business as though nothing has happened and any of these strategies may become a vehicle for leading you into denial. And if ignored long enough, you may have no recollection of any incident at all, leaving you in a state of confusion in your healing process.

Consider the possibility that you are a master of denial and uncover what it was hiding for you and now... what it hides from you.

If you are dedicated to shadow work, there is a reason for it; a greater purpose that may be difficult to grasp at times. In fact, you may wonder why you continue to move through this challenging work, yet feel compelled to move forward. That is because you are drawn to being in a state of Oneness, with All That Is.

Triangulation is the process of drawing two extreme polarities to a sacred center, bringing you into alignment with the highest version of yourself. Once you have transmuted much of the darkness (the unconscious) to the light (consciousness) you can harmonize the two extremes into a state of oneness, helping to close out the world of duality, and move towards a state of oneness.

You may wonder what the benefit of doing shadow work is if you have been on a long healing journey. Well, it may surprise you to realize that healing the shadow is how you are able to transmute dark energies to light... but only after you are able to integrate the knowledge. Integration of knowledge is the process of extracting whatever could be learned from your experiences, especially from deep suffering for it is at the other end of the spectrum from dark to light.

When you extract what you have learned, you have filtered out what is valuable and what can be released and in doing so, are able to finally let go. The knowledge you have gained becomes part of you, part of the light. This is integration. You have successfully transmuted dark to light and you expand in consciousness. Apply that knowledge and you gain wisdom. This is the gem of shadow work.

The healing journey can be long and difficult at times and you may feel that you are alone on your journey, but nothing could be further from the truth. Regardless of what you encounter on your journey, you always have help. It just doesn’t’ show up the way you think it should or through whom you think will provide it.

I share a simple story where I could not deny I had help; help so deep and profound that shifted my momentum out of a downward spiral.

Help is always being offered if you peek between the moments in your days and notice the simplicity in your life. The simplicity of life is where your greatest answers, messages and messengers are. Trust and believe that you do have help and you may begin to notice the genius of it in action.

Forgiveness is key to healing and as we enter a new paradigm it is necessary to create a sacred foundation to build upon. But can you even imagine a reality where all is forgiven? Through all your healing, you may have forgiven much. You may have asked for forgiveness, offered forgiveness or longed for it. We can sometimes get so caught up in the business of forgiveness that we fail to recognize we actually don't believe true forgiveness for all is possible. If you want to live in a new reality where all is forgiven and start anew, it may do you well to imagine what your life would be like where all is forgiven. And if you can't, that knowing will direct you to what needs healing.

This is most certainly true for me. As you reflect on an issue that has called your attention through your shadow, you may find that applying the Law of Attraction and what you know about it now to past experiences does not always seem to add up. Many people have not really had the desired results expected, especially when actively engaging in Shadow Work. And you may also find that projecting positivity can almost seem impossible when you are going through the Dark Night of the Soul.

Consider some insight on what exactly applying the Law of Attraction in the world of duality really means, and get more clarity in moving forward... and possibly a sigh of relief.

Though your healing journey may seem long, it is but a moment in eternity. All you have searched and longed for seems so far away because in all your experiences, you have travelled farther and farther away from You. Your healing journey is the journey back home. It is not a journey of going home, but a journey of coming home.

Most of us have experienced the shadow parent. But how? Many people experience pain, difficulty and abuse at the hands of their parents. But many parents seem to be unaware of any suffering they may have caused their children, even if it was innocently done. How could they possibly not know the struggles they may have inflicted on their child?

Well, it may be that they did not want to see it or more likely they could not see it... because they parented from their shadow, from the space of unawareness. And most likely, it was because it was their own pain from their childhood that they were hiding from, never realizing they were hiding it from themselves and it would present itself to them through their parenting. It is highly likely, if you have children, that you are not aware of any suffering you may have caused your children.

When you learn to identify the shadow parent operative in your life, you will realize that it may go back many generations and you will find yourself at a crossroad... do I pass it on to the next generation or do I heal my family once and for all from the shadow parent?

There are many aspects to the role and purpose of the divine feminine and the divine masculine so I shall try and simplify it so that it may be easily understood and applicable to your shadow work. There is always a great surprise in seeking the divine feminine that we enter the darkest parts of our being, but that is where SHE resides... beneath your shadow. Seek to unearth HER and SHE will be your greatest ally in healing the divine feminine within you as well as the wounded divine masculine so that they may dance in harmony to the song of life.

The ideas your story was built upon are false constructs that may interfere with your healing process. Your experiences do not just taking place in isolation from their backdrop. Consider that your story exists in a field of energy, the stage in which your performance has played out. It holds a holographic imprint to all you have experienced, including your pain.

If you are struggling with issues that continually come up despite your dedication to your healing path, it may be that you are being called to dismantle the construct. Extend your healing to the field that your experiences existed in and dissolve the stage that other's stories with the same energy signature existed in as well. Dedication to shadow work is the acknowledgement of your contribution to the collective shadow, which is what empowers you to offer the construct healing to dismantle it.

The ultimate goal in shadow work is to bring you to a state of wholeness, but what is the greater benefit of operating in that state? When you heal the heavy energies presented by the shadow, you are clearing the way for a stronger communication with your Higher Self. And you will become conscious of the assistance and guidance that your Higher Self has always provided. Learn to develop an authentic relationship with your Higher self through shadow work and become aware of how and when it is operating in your life. Clarity not only directs you to what needs healing but also to what has been helping you all along.

A clear communication system with your Higher Self is the most advantageous path for healing, growth and spiritual development and shadow work provides the opportunity to do just that.

In the effort to show yourself self-love through compassion, you may have fallen into the ditch of self-pity. The spirit of pity is cunning and masks itself as compassion while it drains you of your energy, partnering with the ego to keep itself well-fed. The spirit of compassion is kind, loving and empowering. Learn the art of compassion for it is the stream of love that reaches us from the divine realm and encourages us to receive it, express it to ourselves and... allow it to move through us and reach others.

After working so hard on your deep inner healing, you may have let go of a lot, forgave yourself and others and integrated a great deal so that you have a much deeper understanding of yourself. But how do you grasp the spark of the truth of who you always were, the authentic self that has been there through your entire life? Beneath all the processing and giving attention to what has called out to be healed, the essence of your purest self still shines through, like the flicker beneath the flame. You may have forgotten about the sincere intentions behind some of the occurrences in your life because they may not have turned out the way you wanted them to... but your true essence is still there. It is still there. Invite it back into your life.

In my experience, it has been very difficult to find information on the dark night as well as help in understanding what the heck was going on inside of me. That is because the dark night is unique to each person and it is highly likely that no one will be able to tell you what is happening inside of you... except you.

Once you embark on a healing journey, you may feel overwhelmed and want help. When you do get help, it may not always be what you think it is. Receiving healings actually teach you a lot and you may find that your ability to heal yourself is ultimately what you are seeking. Spiritual teaching and learning does not always translate in a way that seems logical to you when it is your mind that is trying to comprehend. But make no mistake about it, your soul is acquiring all that it needs to know to empower itself and heal.

How have you treated your body? How does your body treat you?  We seldom recognize all our bodies do for us. Your body is the vehicle that has served you through all of your shadow work. When you realize all your body does for you and the opportunities it gives you for spiritual growth and the evolution of your soul, you will awaken to the magic of the body. It truly is a sacred temple so start maybe it would do you well to start treating it as such. Cultivate a divine relationship with your sacred temple.

Everyone has a story to tell. Your shadow will add a tremendous amount of clarity to your story, revealing truth, direction and healing. Rest in knowing that your story is always emerging and changing , giving you greater opportunities to create a new story that is reflective of your dreams.

Your past story may have provided  opportunities to experience growth and learning, but it was always so that you could KNOW who you are and love your whole self. Embrace your story so that you may turn the page to your new story that you can now consciously create with the divine essence that you are.

As you move through your shadow work you may find yourself experiencing extreme highs and lows. This is fine. It is part of the process. It accentuates living out of balance which helps you to see the necessity of living in balance and directs you to find balance in all aspects of your life. The key is to drawer from experiences and tune into higher guidance and marry the two within your center... your heart. When you live in balance, the lows are lessons and the highs are rewards and you see the irony that one cannot exist without the other.

Shadow work is an unrelenting search for the truth, a deep inner truth. And the deeper we go, the more falsehoods we uncover. It's no surprise that we eventually come to the place where we realize we have been part of lies we all share as the human collective. As you wrench yourself from your inner deception, you will see your connections to the collective deception. As you heal yourself with your shadow work, the impact reaches deep into the collective shadow, but be sure not to get swallowed up... and rather become the sacred observer to allow for the light of awareness to shine through you.

As you move along in your shadow work, you will get better and better at spotting your shadow in action. You will start to understand its method of operation, what emotions are triggered and even scenarios where it seems to be most active. You will also begin to recognize when another's shadow is operative and see it clearly. But caution to the wind when you think you have mastered your shadow. The shadow can be very cunning and would love for nothing more than for you to think you have mastered it and use your new skills of identifying another's shadow at work for its new playground.

It is important to be compassionate to those who are under the spell of their shadow. And once you have been through numerous episodes of your own shadow taking you by surprise, you are well equipped to extend great compassion to others. It is best to use your knowledge to be kind. Or... it may create another opening for your shadow to insert itself.

Shadow work will challenge your trust when you realize that the conditions and circumstances that have caused you pain in your life were created by you. Not the suffering or harm that one may have inflicted, but the conditions put in place and your reaction to them. If you accept that you have the power to create your reality and manifest the life of your dreams, your will face the deep question of how could I have caused my self so much pain then? It is a valid question.

The answer is rooted in acceptance of your power and how living your life by relinquishing your power is what has caused you pain. The issue of trust is bound to come up on your healing journey though your shadow work, but fear not, this is how you gain your trust back. And when you gain your trust back, it will be unshakable in your commitment to yourself and the truth as you move forward.

Letting go is an all too familiar phrase that is quite frankly overused to the point that its meaning has become unclear, especially when it comes to doing shadow work. The confusion about what we are to let go off and what we are to keep, engages the mind and we start sifting and sorting through our inner work residue like piles of laundry much to our detriment. Sometimes it seems as though no matter how much we let go of, the shadow always seems to find its way back in through the back door.

We know to let go of "the bad stuff" BUT the good stuff may be laced through the bad stuff and we inadvertently hang onto it in fear of losing the good stuff, leaving that back door open.

Letting go of everything is the only solution. You must trust that your soul has the capacity to always retain what is valuable… and KNOW that what IT is can never be lost.

Shadow work can bring you back to your childhood again and again, making you feel that you are going in circles. It is possible that the collective shadow of a family will circulate amongst all members, as always, in search of healing. Many people experience trauma in their childhood and attribute present day issues to the wounds that originated with their parent or parents. What if the pain you experienced from your parent(s) was from an unhealed wound that resides in their shadow? Make the decision to heal and stop the karmic wheel that may not only be affecting you, but may have effected generations before you and could potentially generations after you. Never underestimate your power and the power of your healing.

There is a reason you may be experiencing the same form of pain and suffering though different relationships and circumstances in your life. There may be a program that is running within you, fueled by a faulty belief system that is perpetuating common themes in your life and that is destructive in nature and self sabotaging. Disrupt this program and reharmonize a distorted frequency that is based on self-deception by accessing the healing codes... hidden in your shadow.

If you have been doing shadow work for a while, you may feel that it never ends. There is a reason for that. There is so much depth to your soul and so many levels of healing that it can sometimes feel that it will go forever, but it won't.  Deep healing must be done in layers or it would be overwhelming. Take advantage of all the seemingly little issues that life presents to you and allow yourself to heal at a level that doesn't just make you feel better... but TRANSFORMS you.

The most powerful shadow healing comes from love. It is rejection and denial that cast parts of you into the shadow in the first place. Acceptance and love will bring them home. Learn to see yourself so that you may love yourself, your whole self. Let go of the facade of who you think you are supposed to be. This episode provides a great formula to help you sit with what your shadow reveals to you and invite your shadow to respond to love.

Shadow work offered me more insight, depth and healing than any guru, healer or visionary  that I have ever encountered... and I have encountered many. Shift your perception from the shadow to the messenger. The shadow is a divine messenger that has all the information of every experience you ever had. What better ally could you have than one who knows you better than you know yourself? As long as your shadow is perceived as a threat, it will be a threat. Summon the courage to face your shadow and gain the gifts that you have hidden, from yourself, in the darkness.

We all know about the power of positive affirmations. But how do you identify and utilize negative affirmations in your shadow work? Positive affirmations are a great healing tool, but can mask a message from your shadow if you use them to wipe out the all the messages coming in.

There are messages coming from your Shadow through the negative affirmations that may haunt your mind. The gem beneath the shadow can be found in your negative self talk and can direct you to the solutions that you are seeking, instead of the problems you think they are presenting. When you really listen to what the constant message in your head is saying, not only will you benefit from the message itself, but you will find that it may quiet the mind because the message has been received. So before you reach beyond yourself for the answers, just consider the answers are actually coming from within... just not the way you thought you would receive them.

When our soul calls us to face our shadow, it is usually to answer the longing of the soul to live in truth. We may want to move through our spiritual awakening quickly so that we may access the treasures that lay beneath the shadow. I took antidepressants for 17 years and then... they just stopped helping. At first, I thought my suffering from medication changes, withdrawal and worry and that the flood of emotions that ensued was a hinderance to my spiritual journey, only to realize after many years of healing and learning that it was the catalyst for opening me up to the deeper healing my soul needed.

Your soul will meet you where you are and if you're are on antidepressants or addicted to drugs, your soul will meet you in that space and guide you on your path to healing.

*And although my journey led me to come off of antidepressants, that may not be the path that your soul is guiding you on.

Our luminous light body is an energy field that illuminates our energy when we are in alignment and uplifted, holding a high vibration. When we compromise ourselves or our beliefs by ignoring our internal guidance system, which is our emotions,  our energy field leaks and we lose power. We can consciously lose power or unconsciously lose power. Either way, it is time to call your power back from all times and places and honor your gut feelings by listening to what they are telling you. Learn how to recognize where you have lost your power... and call your power back.

When you are dedicated to doing your shadow work, it is important to steer yourself in a more optimal direction so that you may move forward, but consciously. Bringing light to the shadow allows you to live consciously. For most, this is a new concept; deciding what life you want to manifest instead of constantly reacting. This guided meditation will help you to close out the past of what you have processed and appreciate your life for the experiences and growth it has afforded you and step into a new beginning. Are you ready?! Your shadow work will continue, but take this opportunity to take the reins and get the feeling of YOU being the architect of your life.

I advise you not to listen while you drive. Be sure to listen where you can give 30 minutes or so to yourself... and relax.

Healing your pain will always be presented as a choice. But make no mistake, it is a choice with great consequences. The consequences of not healing your pain is to identify with it and eventually become it. The transition to becoming an expression of your pain is subtle and the longer you wait, the harder it will be to see.

The consequence and benefit of healing your pain will be the opening of new doors and possibilities that you would not have thought imaginable. I offer an example from my book; Shadow Work, The Guided Journal for Meeting the Stranger Within to help you extract a profound wound that is imbedded in almost all of us, and often goes unnoticed... the wound of betrayal.

The most important relationship you have or ever will have, is the relationship you have with yourself. The truth of your Self is in accepting your own deception held in your shadow. All other relationships are contingent upon the relationship you with yourself when they move beyond the projections of your inner deception. How do you cultivate a relationship with yourself? How do you nurture yourself? How do you truly Know Thy Self? TRUTH! To truly know your self is a decision to accept truth vs deception. Access what you have hidden in your shadow.

We live in a world of illusion. The only thing true in it... is us. Don't confuse yourself with the world. Establish an honest relationship with yourself. Practice truth until you become it. When you become truth, you will no longer be deceived.

When we become entangled in a barrage of negative thoughts, unpleasant emotions and hesitancy about the next steps to take inner lives, we can feel like we are under attack. But what is it that attacks us. You would be surprised to realize that you have far greater control over what attacks you, but you can lost in the confusion. This episode will help you to make a significant distinction in what I interpreted to be the devil in me and try shadow. The "devil" is only the lies that you believe about yourself. Your very essence is divine and nothing can shake that... unless YOU let it. Make the decision to face your shadow and learn to discover when the "devil" is at play. And find the courage to step into your Light.

So many people have complicated lives with countless experiences that seem to just create more confusion... and no answers. Wouldn't you like to get answers from a source that knows you best and always has your best interest at heart? Well, that source is very close at hand. As a matter of fact, that source of wisdom is within you and idly stands by waiting for your attention and for you to just ask. As easy as that sounds, it may be difficult to start the conversation with your inner self because it is like a relationship that has been ignored and it is a voice you cannot seem to hear. So here are a few techniques that I have utilized myself with great success to help you break ground in starting the dialogue with your inner self so that you may hear your inner voice speak great wisdom from the depths of your Soul.

There seems to be a great interest in the air waves about past lives and accessing them to heal your current issues at the root, but what if you were able to reach into a past life into another version of you whose life ended without closure and bring healing to them? And what if your current pain and suffering was the doorway to identifying and accessing that past life? Would that change your current perception of your current circumstances?  Here's my perspective on the power encoded in our suffering.

This is part 2 of a 3-part series. You will get the most benefit by listening to them in order. This episode is a depiction of the strangest experience that I had in recovering a lost aspect. Although I don't believe it is a common occurrence, I use this example to highlight some of the nuances in the communication with an aspect of myself and the process of integrating that part of me back into my Self. My hope is to illustrate that it is a divine process with many intricacies and can take time. When you have a better grasp of all that is involved, you will be inspired to be patient and allow your soul to guide and work on its timetable.

Once you have identified a part of yourself that seems to have fallen away, determined by deep introspection, and you have prepared the space for the aspect to return and send out the call for that part to return, then you are ready to welcome that aspect back into the whole.

This is Part II of a three-part series. In the last episode, you may have been able to recognize a part of yourself that seems to have faded away. This episode illustrates how I called identified parts of myself back home.

We are all aware that we have different parts of ourselves operating; the career part, the family part, the personal part and the part that dreams of our perfect world. But many are unaware of how these parts operate together and create harmony when they are in balance and inadvertently allow parts to fall away.

Soul loss is commonly referred to in spiritual teachings, but feels out of reach for most to embark on self exploration. Yet it may be simply a matter of welcoming all parts of yourself by identifying and calling back all parts that have fallen away. Much like the musician that doesn't play anymore and is a little rusty, calls back his talent (that aspect of himself) by sitting down to play again.

Over the course of my healing journey, I frequently heard phrases like soul loss and lost aspects and soul retrieval. Although I understood the concept and even had soul retrieval sessions with highly skilled shamans, I didn't really comprehend the depth of healing involved until I had my own direct experience with the entire process. Your healing requires participation, not just receiving.

This episode breaks down these concepts into their simplest form, but can provide a roadmap to profound levels of self inquiry and help to activate the healer within. We all have a healer within us. It is where we get our gut feelings about what should or should not eat, which relationships will be healthy and which ones toxic as well a guiding force that helps us to navigate our lives.

This is Part I of a Three-Part Series. Part II - Calling Back the Soul and Part III - Soul Retrieval, will be the next two episodes of The Shadow Speaks.

We all experience pain and may push it aside or pretend it doesn't exist in order to cope. But pain will operate in your shadow until you see it... so that you may heal it. Recognize when your pain speaks to you and answer with compassion so that you can transmute it. Transmuting pain is about integrating wisdom. You do not have to like your painful experiences, but you can find a gem beneath your pain if you can extract what you have learned and apply it to your life. So many people will benefit from your wisdom. Learn how to turn your pain into power and choose to be empowered by your life experiences. It really is your choice.

So gather the fragments of your outdated dream and listen to the end to receive a great healing exercise to honor your dreams, put old dreams to rest, remove residue of lost dreams, and clear the slate to dream your new dream.

This introduction episode gives an overview of my perspective of the shadow and Shadow Work after overcoming so much trauma in my own life and engaging in shadow work for approximately 10 years. I was guided through dreams and intuitive messages to share my knowledge of the language that the shadow speaks, yet seems to elude us. I give an overview of how the shadow operates, what our role is in engaging with the shadow effectively and productively as well as the consequences of engaging in battle. I discuss how every bit of darkness in yourself that you face, unveils a ray of light and on the underside of what can sometimes seem like a curse, is your greatest gift waiting to be claimed. Shadow work is challenging, but when you start living the benefits of doing the work, you will wonder why you waited so long. I was instructed to write a letter from my shadow in a dream and I share that letter in this episode for it revealed a powerful message that has guided me to claiming my destiny and returning to a state of wholeness.
