We all have a shadow, those parts of ourselves that we feel are "bad" and unwanted. Sometimes the shadow is angry, violent, hurt, sad, scared, needy. Sometimes it is also where we find our creativity, hidden talents and natural expression.
⠀
A repressed shadow can result in pent up anger, resentment, guilt, shame, putting on a facade, judgment of others and harm to others and ourselves - especially when what has been bubbling under the surface emerges at an inopportune moment.
⠀
We save ourselves a lot of trouble and heartache if we can identify and be aware of our shadow. We may even wish to express it.
⠀
Kink, by virtue of providing us with a judgment-free and safe(r) container, allows us to play with our shadow, to get to know it, and to try it on for size.
⠀
Maybe your shadow longs to feel powerful. Maybe it wants to be small and taken care of. Maybe it wants to make its creative ideas a reality. Kink allows for all of these things.
⠀
If your shadow were to come out and play what would it want to do? Let me know below.
