E67 - Rooted & Unwavering Podcast - Feb 6 - Hylke Faber & Jessica Tracy

<p></p><p>“The quiet space of the heart guides us to what we truly are about,” shares Jessica Tracy, Jungian Coach and speaker.  When we live out of alignment with our authentic self, it hurts: our soul feels fragmented. Getting into alignment requires us to face the parts of us that aren’t integrated yet, our shadow, as Jung called it. Living in alignment with our authentic self is journey in which we get to face our shadows. How does this happen in real life? Our unresolved parts attract energy that complement it, in the form of triggers - events that challenge our shadows. Life is a teacher in this way. It wakes us up to who we truly are by also having us face what we are not. We face our shadow directly by working with the energy that comes online when we are triggered. As opposed to giving into the energy, or acting it out, we intentionally work to transform it. This can take many forms, including physical exercise, creativity, and naming the shadow. On this journey we may discover that our shadows are portals into something beautiful.</p><p><br></p>
