All you need is a piece of paper and a pen.
This episode is a guided practice. I am walking you through my absolute favorite shadow work exercise, Free Form Writing, live.
You can follow along right now, or come back to this episode again and again whenever something sticky comes up.
I learned this practice from my spiritual mentor, Jen Whalen, and it is the first thing I give every client when their manifestations feel stuck, when the doubt is loud, when nothing seems to be moving.
Here is how it works:
Get a separate piece of paper. Not your journal. We are going to burn this.
For 80% of the time, you let it rip. You write out every fear, every limiting belief, every ugly thought you have been shoving down.
"My fear is..."
"My anxiety is telling me..."
"I'm worried about..."
Keep your hand moving the whole time.
Your handwriting is linked to your subconscious, things will come up that you did not even know were there.
For the last 20%, you switch gears.
"The truth is..."
You write from the perspective of your most loving grandmother, your highest self, the voice that knows without a doubt that your desires are not only possible but inevitable.
Then you burn it. Or rip it as small as you can and throw it away somewhere outside your home.
That is it. Free. Accessible. Powerful.
This is also what we have been doing inside the Somatic Circle for our 21-day shadow work challenge. If you want to do this work in community, send me a DM on Instagram @womanifester.
Have a beautiful and blessed day.
