Revealing Subconscious Shadows
 Process on One Page

Our greatest personal growth comes from shining light on our unconscious shadows. This helps us break free from the illusions of the ego, repressed programs and beliefs of our subconscious mind. As most of our blocks are unconscious we need to watch carefully for clues. So even if you have a slight sensation, write it down for further consideration. You can discard it later if you can't find a connection.

1. Our ego seeks to protect us from what it considers to be dangerous in our lives but this limits our choices. Become aware of how you shield yourself from fully engaging in life. For guidance, see our list of defences. List your primary defences in Box 1. In your journal, you might explore your payoff for each defence. How does this protection serve you? We also shield ourselves with excuses and justifiers of our own limitations. Review this list for more defenses you may use.
2. What are your pet peeves, dislikes and hates? What situations evoke strong emotional reactions in you? Write them in Box 2. When we understand projections, we can take responsibility for clearing our subconscious blocks.
3. What brings you stress? How do you lose your energy? What drains the life out of you? (Box 3).
4. What desired results are not showing up in your life? Where are your efforts not paying off? Can you identify any ongoing negative cycles in your life around relationships, finances, health, education or career? See life challenges for more insights. Write these in Box 4
5. How do you sabotage yourself? How do you stay stuck in your ruts?
6. Where do you feel you are a victim in your life? Who and what do you blame? Examine our victim statements list to identify beliefs and self talk that keep you powerless. Summarize how you feel victimized in Box 6.
7. What you are afraid of? Behind every challenge is a fear. Behind every fear is an unconscious wounding event. For more insights see fear quotes and fears list. Write your main fears in Box 7.
8. Limiting beliefs lie at the root of all blocks. What beliefs did you adopt in your youth that still govern your life? Check our limiting belief list and make entries in Box 8.
9. Review the notes in your journal and your entries on this worksheet and write in order of priority your ‘hot list’ of main unconscious shadows that you want to work on.
