What Lives in the Dark: A Spiritual Guide to Working with What Frightens You

from Blooming Wand · host Emily O'Neal

Send us Fan MailFear doesn't need to be fixed. It has something to show you.In this episode, we explore fear as one of the most powerful tools for self-growth available to us -- if we stop trying to escape it and start learning to tend it. We look at what's happening in the body when fear arises, where it comes from (biological, learned, and inherited through family systems), and how to tell the difference between fear and intuition. We also go deeper into shadow work as a cross-cultural practice of integration, drawing on IFS, ancestral lineage work, Jungian psychology, and somatic frameworks.You'll leave with a body-based framework for mapping your fear, tracing its roots, and using it as a doorway into what's been asking for your attention all along.Find the full transcript on the blog at bloomingwand.com -- click Explore, then Blog.
