Facing Your Inner Shadows: A Samhain Special with Eliot and Hecate
And I think a big part of being healthy is, even if you don't go in all the doors, knowing what's in all the doors has always been really important to me, and that's been a part of shadow work- is opening the doors, checking the contents, and even if I decide that I don't want to hang out in one of them, that I'm not locking it up and making it a scary door or avoiding it, because, as you said, what you avoid, what you repress, that's what is gonna pop up for you or become a problem.
Ever feel like the darker parts of your mind are lurking just beneath the surface, especially as the days get shorter?
