88 Prompts for Shadow Integration and Wholeness

by The Mystic She Ways

Inside this journal you will find 88 prompts which are intended to guide you towards recognizing and integrating your shadow

You will also find accompanying journal pages which help you to check in with your feelings, remind you of things you are grateful for, and affirmations to serve as touchstones or anchor points in the deep descent and shadowy journey.

May this journal be a guide through the darkest recesses of your repressed and hidden psyche. Our shadows are pieces of ourselves we have rejected over time through societal conditioning and experiences, things we discovered which were unacceptable and undesirable and so they become repulsive to us. We shove them into the closet or deepest corners of ourselves beyond the light of our consciousness. In doing so we have told these pieces of self that they are unlovable and unwanted. They fester in there robbing us of our wholeness and power.

Our shadows are often created in childhood when we are told what to be and what not to be. Imagine a person who is a neat freak and then imagine their young self-playing out in the mud and dirt, coming inside, the gasp of disgust from a parent, and in that moment created the inner knowing that you must always be clean and tidy. However, growing up with anxiety looming over their head of clean perfection can grow into a heavy burden to bear severing the original part of their self which enjoyed finger painting in mud. The goal of shadow work is to face these rejected pieces of self, knowing fully well that they can be terrifying and ugly and loving them back into existence in our lives.

Once we see them, they become less scary and hold less sway over our subconscious. When this work is done it makes us WHOLE once again and can relieve some of the anger, resentment, familial karma, triggers and traumas which we carry. Freeing us to be wild and complete once again.

This is not an assignment. You are not a student in school who must complete their work in a timely manner, we are not here to add another layer of anxiety to your triggers. We are here to take our time to re-discover ourselves and to integrate the pieces we recover. Please do not assume these are daily prompts which must be completed, instead they are a spiraling journey inward. Healing is not a linear process. Take your time and really work the process.

If you do want to follow them daily the number 88 is exactly one season or three moon cycles of change and also a sacred number with the 8's reflecting the infinity symbol and strength card of the tarot. It is also a number of resurrection and abundance and energetically the perfect number to help us descend into the dark and then claw our ways back to our true source and infinite inner-spark.
