We've been working with the shadowside here on DIVINICUS in the Desert. What does that mean exactly?

It's essential to realise that as the soul comes into the various inner layers of density, it fragments in the places it attaches. So for example: it might attach in the physical density due to fears about existential matters; or in relationships where it attaches to the need for completion from a partner; or on the mental plane where it gets locked into a particular belief system of programming in society - distraction on social media for example.

And so the soul fragments into these behavioursims creating a shadow aspect of the aligned soul. The root cause is ultimately karma. The point being you cannot simply drop the shadowside like dropping the proverbial hot coals as some would want or advocate. Because in doing so, you drop the buried fragment of soul - the soul gold - too. Now this shadow is integrated within your being and it derails authentic choice and decision making. Therefore we must create the conditions that activate the triggers that reveal the shadow.

Sitting in stillness and fasting is a great method to do this, because there's no distraction or suppression from what arises on the inner. Here's a useful reflection of that from a film clip I showed the group yesterday. It's a clip of Jesus in the desert confronting his own shadowside...

To break down the shadow here at Openhand we're applying the breakthrough approach, where we consciously illuminate the triggers and unravel the attachments that create them -

The Breakthrough Approach

1) Confront the Truth of the Situation: what's going on here? What is truly being invited? What am I resisting? What outcome do I think I really need? What's the worst possible outcome and how do I really feel about that?

2) Honour and express the tightness: in allowing yourself to explore the truth about any given situation, you'll expose some form of tightness within. It could reveal as a busy mind, unsettled emotions, nausea in the solar plexus, tightness somewhere in the body. And even a complete numbness can be classed as 'tightness'. The point is to delve deep, then to honour what comes up. Allow yourself to fully express the tightness, in whatever way your natural guidance invites of you. It's like you blow this inner layer up to fill the world around you for a while. It enables you to see where you were holding on, where you felt you needed some form of outcome, what couldn't you accept? Where have you been in avoidance?

3) Become as-one with your feelings: When you're at the height of the expression, now soften into the feelings, surrender into them, quieten and let go. Become so accepting of the circumstances you don't need them to go away. Hold the feelings within - be witnessing and observant. You're becoming as-one with the experiences. When you've reached this level of surrender, then 'open a doorway' of complete acceptance through the tightness. Remind yourself that you are NOT the experience itself and that all experiences are transient. They come and go. Thus you're becoming The One in the experience - that which you truly are.

4) Unwind soul out of the constriction: once you've become so accepting that you've found The One amidst the tightness, contraction and pain, you're already at the point where you're healing; you're already digging up the roots of the constriction. Let go even more at this point. But then keenly watch the new energies of soul wanting to come through. You're reclaiming nuggets of soul gold that were originally stuck in the drama and creating the tightness itself. Let that now unwind, unleash and freely express new aspects of soul. Now the flow takes off for you, and the newly liberated soul creates in unimaginable ways. Yihah!
