What Is Shadow Work?

Shadow work is the practice of exploring the parts of yourself that often stay hidden — emotions, patterns, or memories that feel uncomfortable, painful, or inconvenient. Instead of pushing them down, shadow work invites you to bring them into the light with curiosity and compassion.

When you do this, you reduce internal stress, regulate your nervous system, and begin to heal from the inside out. The result? A calmer mind, balanced hormones, and a body that feels safe enough to glow.



Why Shadow Work Supports Holistic Healing

  • Mind: Journaling through shadow work gives you clarity, helps rewire limiting beliefs, and reduces anxiety.

  • Body: Emotional release lowers cortisol, eases PMS, and supports better digestion + skin.

  • Soul: It helps you reconnect with the authentic, whole version of yourself — the one that feels confident, worthy, and glowing.



Shadow Work Prompts to Get Started

Here are three different types of shadow work prompts to get you started on shadow work. Take your time and pick which ever one/ones you feel drawn to:


Self-Reflection Prompts

  • What emotions do I avoid and why?

  • When do I feel most insecure, and what’s behind it?

  • What triggers jealousy in me, and what does it teach me?


Healing Patterns Prompts

  • What cycles keep repeating in my life?

  • Where do I feel stuck — and what am I afraid will happen if I move forward?

  • What parts of myself do I hide from others?


Glow Energy Prompts

  • What makes me feel safe to shine?

  • When have I abandoned my needs for others?

  • What version of me am I becoming as I heal?



How to Use These Prompts

Create a safe, calm space (candles, tea, soft music).

Journal freely — don’t censor your thoughts.

Reflect after writing: what patterns do you notice?

Practice gentle integration: affirmations, movement, or rituals that support your insights.
