The Dark Night Of The Soul

By ThenThere'sTheTruth.

What is Dark Night Of The Soul about? Well, this question is becoming a fairly common one these days. When i first learnt about this experience I had so much trouble finding the information about it, partly because I didn't know what it actually was yet at that point but there really wasn't much info about it. Understanding our experiences and other peoples and gaining knowledge are powerful tools and I struggled to find the information to even understand what was happening let alone why. Which is why I like to see this topic out there more and more, Strong feelings and emotions are usually how wonderful things are born. Most deeply spiritual people have had more than one “dark” time that they had to experience in order to reach the higher spiritual vibe they now have going on. No matter what you want to label it: shadow work, mirror work , facing the self etc. It is all one thing and an important part of manifesting successfully. Spirituality being all “love and light” is a facade. There is actual work to be done in order to manifest your true soul’s purpose.

What Is The The Dark Night of The Soul? From my experience it is a really dark uncomfortable time in life that tends to break you down. The dark night of the soul is always personal to each person and differs in many ways. The details may be varied but the end result is generally always the same. Anything you have been suppressing, whether it be reactions, trauma , grief, anger, behaviours you have learned etc from your conscious experience and so on will come up to be healed and seen for what they are, this shadow work that everyone tries to avoid will bring it into the light. This process is integral to being able to manifest your true soul’s purpose. Without facing these buried experiences how can you truly know yourself and grow? Manifestation requires that you take responsibility for where you currently are in your life in order to manifest the life that your soul truly desires. Without accountability, you’ll never know what needs to be addressed in order to live in your full potential. This is not easy. In fact, its not just animals that are wired with fight or flight reactions. We as humans are too! If you perceive there is any kind of danger ahead, you’ll either be triggered to fight against it or to run away. Be reassured that what you are experiencing on this spiritual path is not only completely necessary, but also universally and spiritually intentional.

How To Get Through The Dark Night of The Soul

The first step to conquering this critical part of your soul path is to approach it in a conscious way. This means that you need to be fully aware and accepting of what you’re diving into. As said before, this is not easy. And to make it even more inviting, you don’t just have one of these “challenging moments,” you’ll continue to experience them in order to get closer and closer to your higher self. Don’t let this discourage you. Just remember and remind yourself that as long as you’re incarnated here in this realm, there is always going to be lessons to learn. … Guided meditations can be a great tool to clear blocked energy!

If your initial response to facing your subconscious shadow self is to fight back and cause chaos, it’s imperative that you don’t let fear overcome you. This is not easy but it's necessary. When we react out of fear, we’re more likely to lash out and destroy relationships around us that are actually aligned on our soul’s path. Recognise when you’re getting reactive and try to figure out what triggered you in the situation. Ask yourself different types of questions that can give you a different perspective. If your initial response is flight when you face your shadow self, you also have to focus on not acting out of fear. When we run from something out of fear, we’re more likely to self-sabotage the very things in our lives that we want to manifest.

Be mindful, take a moment to think about the big picture. Everything you want is on the other side of fear. Do you feel worthy of that which you’re manifesting? These are some of the thoughts that can ground you again when you find yourself running from challenges. Your soul knows the way if you listen. Affirmation can be a useful tool also when we are trying to transform our lives. Keep them simple and clear. As we get closer to our true purpose, often certain situations will be manifested before us to help us step into the next level of our lives. There are people who will naturally try to go around the challenge, do nothing, or even try to push through with ignorance but none of these will work. As with anything, your strength gets better over time along with your experience and the tools you have and as you face more and more challenges through life, you’ll become more equipped to deal with them correctly. Knowing a few things about yourself, like your natural talents and areas of opportunity can make it that much easier. Whether you’re ready to manifest the life that your soul is yearning for or you find yourself facing shadow work, learning about your soul path will reveal so much to you, including how you handle these situations.

The question is, are you ready to do the work to manifest the life that you truly desire?
