In this live we have a deep discussion (honestly a workshop) on understanding the shadow of doubt and how it uniquely shows up for you.

Doubt is defined as a form of manipulation that you shadow uses to keep you stagnant. It blurs the lines between safety and stagnation.

Through understanding your shadow of doubt deeper, you will see how to liberate yourself from it.

This life provides tools on how to identify your unique shadow of doubt and the medicine needed to heal it.

You were given the spirits and medicines you hold because these spirits hold the answers and lessons that you are meant to learn.

This is why knowing your medicines is so profound. It’s not only your spiritual gifts but also the life lessons you’re meant to learn and help you navigate them.

It teaches you how to walk in this world.

Sacred titles of medicine woman, shaman, and healer CANNOT be bought. These are titles that are only truly understood through initiation and walking the path of medicine.

Sacred titles ≠ holding sacred knowledge. Just because you hold the title doesn’t mean you hold the teachings.

Titles are given from your community. They are earned and never self-proclaimed.

You cannot duplicate the essence of a medicine woman / healer. It is something that is stitched into your Spirit from birth. It is a way of life that is not chosen but assigned.

Your potential in this life is blocked by your shadows.

When you acknowledge your shadows, you see the blockages that stop you from living your fullest expression.

Your shadows keep you stagnant. Repressed. Repeating harmful cycles.

When you learn your shadows, you liberate yourself from their control.

🩸Tired of being stuck in your shadow? Ready to reclaim your medicine and power? This is for you. Cardinal Shadow Work is a 6 month container where you will dive deep into understanding your shadows. You’ll see their entirety. & through seeing your shadows you will begin to live in your medicine. Your potential. Your purpose. Click the link in my b1o to join the waitlist.

In this live I discuss how to navigate the season of the Teen when it comes to your spiritual maturity.

First, identify if your spiritual maturity is within the teen. A quick test to see this is have you heard / familiar with these words?

Reiki. Breathwork. Indigenous knowledge. Tarot. Energy work.

If the answer is yes, you’re most likely in the Teen phase. If not, go check out my other video Part 1: Spiritual Maturity - Infant | Beginner to Spirituality

In modern times, we lack the rites of passage our ancestors had that developed our spirits’ maturity as our bodies developed. Many of us are physical adults in age but not in spiritual maturity.

This is what this live is all about. How to mature your spirit properly, what to focus on, what to stay cautious of, and so much more.

The battle with our shadows often begin in our Minds. The reason being is the mind is in a constant active state of consuming, thinking, filtering, and processing. There is a lot happening in our Mind which makes it easier for our shadows to slip by. It’s like a busy marketplace. It’s easier to steal with more distractions.

Part of healing your shadows is understanding their language. It’s learning how they uniquely speak to you. When you identify their language, you begin to corner them. This is where the work begins.

In this live I go deep into understanding what true shadow work will trigger within you. This work isn’t meant to be comfortable, it’s meant to challenge you to push through the growing pains so you can reach higher, stronger, and powerful heights.

Holding medicine in a good way isn’t taught nowadays. Modalities are marketed without understanding the responsibility required to do them in a good way. Shadow work is what implements that’s integrity and responsibility within us.

Grab your notebook for this live because this one is FULL of nuggets on why we get stuck in healing and what to do about it.

Here is a simple breakdown of the 3 reasons.

1.) You are missing the teaching of the medicine wheel. The medicine wheel teaches about the 4 parts of self (Mind, Body, Heart, and Spirit). Many of you focus on these in isolation when they need to be all considered at once.

2.) You do not know the teachings of the spirits that work with you. The reason you don’t know these are because you don’t know the actual spirits that work with you. Understanding your medicine is essential to what you need to heal.

3.) Neglected shadows. When we neglect our shadows, we are blinded by the light. We are duality. We must honor our light and dark.

In this live I go deep into understanding the four phases of spiritual maturity, particularly the Infant.

The Infant, also known as a spiritual beginner, is someone who is new to the spirit world. They don’t have much exposure. For an example, they haven’t sat in plant medicine ceremonies, done reiki, obtained certifications, etc. They are quite new and naive to spirituality.

In this live I discuss the type of shadows that uniquely show up for the spiritual beginner, the pros of benefits of being in the infant phase, and much more.

Read this closely, literally word for word.

You are trying to learn how to practice your medicine but you don’t even know your medicine.

Why would you go to a car dealership and buy a car thinking that once you have a car you will suddenly know how to drive?

This sounds ridiculous, right? This is the same shit a lot of yall are doing with spirituality. You are learning HOW to practice medicine (reiki, breathwork, certifications) but you are not learning the actual medicine.

This creates copy-cat healers who mimic and duplicate what they are shown. Monkey see, monkey do.

Stop being a monkey. Stop being a copy-cat healer. First learn WHAT is your medicine before learning HOW to practice your medicine.

In this episode we go DEEP into the importance of ancestral work and how to make sure you will be a good ancestor when you transition to the spirit world.

From the WiFi glitching to the light blowing up, the ancestors were ACTIVE in this live ⚡️🪶

Get your journal and pen, this live we go DEEP into understanding how your shadows lie to you. Our shadows often times target our mind before any other part of ourselves. The reason being is our minds are like sponges, and if our thoughts go unchecked our shadows can plant themselves in our minds and make a home.

In this live, we discuss how to identify the lies of your shaldows and how to shift their narrative. Your mind is a powerful tool. The best way to keep your mind sharp and working FOR you is by learning shadow work and how to keep your mind a clean house.

Many individuals often confuse the labels that they were given by the colonial construct as their shadows. An example of this is depression. Depression is a colonial label (our ancestors did not use this term to describe themselves).

This live dives into how to shift your perspective out of the colonial construct and into medicine-based approach that is grounded in your spirits and ancestors.

In this live I break down the massive shifts we are seeing collectively and how they are rippling into spirituality.

Urgency of truth; no more co-opted, fake, ego, driven practitioners and elders. A collapse of selfishness and harm, exposure of the lies and desecration.

need for integrity and authenticity. We’re tired of taking certifications that leave us feeling disappointed, more lost, and farther away from ourselves. Part of being an integrity is learning YOUR medicine, which requires you to know your shadows.

Spiritual Cleansing; deprogramming from the spiritual teachings we were taught that are grounded in colonization and new ageism/appropriation. Releasing identities/titles/labels/practices. What spiritual practices do you need to put down? Learning to not throw teachings out with harmful elders.

Desire of right relation. How to properly commune with Spirit and our medicine.

We are living during times that none of us have seen before in this lifetime. It is easy to get swept up in the fear, panic, despair, and hopeless.

This is why the teachings of the medicine wheel are essential during these times. All of ancestors used the medicine wheel to understand and navigate this life, both spiritually and physically.

In this live I cover the big question of why is the world in the current state it is?

Simple answer; we are in the West of the medicine wheel collectively. The West is the space of the heart, death, sacrifice, and releasing. Listen in as I break down how each of these are teaching us how to show up during these times. ⚡️

I recently received a comment telling me that universal light (often used in reiki and other mainstream spirituality modalities) was more powerful than learning your own unique spirits and medicines that move through you. This whole love is calling out why this is wrong and how harmful using universal light can truly be.

Your ancestors are your first line of protection when it comes to spiritual work. You are the living prayer and proof of their endurance + perseverance. Ancestral work is honoring not only the good ancestors but elevating those who are in need of your medicine.

Ancestral work and shadow work go hand - in - hand. When you show up for our ancestors, we are telling them that we are here to carry on their medicine and help them heal. We are the vessels that have been trusted with their wisdom.

Grab your notebook for this one, I go DEEP into the actual shadow work process and understanding the 4 layers of shadow.

The first layer begins in the Mind, it is all about understanding the language of your shadow. This is where we see a heavy presence of western therapy and journal prompts. Although these are doing something, they are extremely surface level. This layer is understanding what is the VOICE of your shadow and how it lives in your mind.

The second layer is how the shadow lives in your body. How does your shadow show up in your day - to - day life? Shadows want to live in physical vessels and do so by our actions. This is often where people freeze in their shadow work because it requires real work. It takes discipline and action. It’s moving from what you know you need to do to actually doing it.

The third layer is the pleasures in your shadows. All of our shadows keep us hooked by giving us some type of pleasure / joy. This is also where we begin to understand how our shadows are fed by those around us.

Lastly, the fourth layer is all about seeing the medicine behind the shadow. Every shadow is hoarding away medicine. This layer is all about understanding what is being held captive and liberating that medicine.

In this live I breakdown who so many individuals are beginning to step away from mainstream spirituality, new ageism, and love + light. Our spirits know that this healing work is deeper than certifications and selfish self-help.

1.) Mainstream spirituality has a value system + structure of the colonial ways. It is rooted in hierarchy, power, and individualism. This is the opposite of traditional healing which is rooted in integrity, reverence, and responsibility.

2.) Mainstream spirituality doesn’t teach you your medicine. Instead, it sells you different methodologies, certifications, and retreats which feed your shadow of consumption. Traditional healing teaches you how to learn your spirits and how to work with them.

3.) It is detached from reality. Ascending into the 5D, creating new earth, and manifesting your best life are all about escaping the present moment. Traditional healing grounds you into reality and teaches you how to co-create vs bypass.

In this live I breakdown the 3 foundational pillars to doing TRUE shadow work (not western therapy or new age, but the original way of our ancestors)

1.) We are dualistic beings. We hold both medicine and shadow. We must first understand that this life and ourselves hold the nature of duality.

2.) Shadows and living spirits. & as we all know, in order for something to live it needs to be fed. This is where we begin to address HOW YOU feed your shadows.

3.) Shadows evolve as we evolve. Our medicine will be the balance to help us move through our growth and collective energies.

Have you ever wondered what a shadow truly is? In this conversation, I break down the many moving parts of shadow. Misconceptions of the shadow through therapy and new ageism, shards vs the whole shadow, medicine required for you to heal your shadows, and the evolution of your shadows.

As the collective shadow continues to grow larger and is felt deeper, it has left many of us feeling hopelessness, despair, anxiety, and fear. This is exactly what the shadows want.

In this live, I go deep into how to confront the collective shadow and move out of these feelings of hopelessness and lostness. Your hope is not gone, it’s being redirected. You are not lost, your path is being realigned.

Get up. Get a grip. We cry today and get to work tomorrow. I will die for this medicine, will you?

In this episode I go deep into breaking down what it takes to learn your medicine. It requires so much more than simply labeling it or claiming it. It is a way of life. It molds your vision and actions.

This is probably one of my favorite lives I’ve done in awhile. The reason being is for how applicable it is to ALL of us.

So many times we lose ourselves in the projections of others. We are no longer able to understand what is our shadow and what is theirs. This leads to confusion, stagnation, and even more shadow.

In this live, I cover the big 3 steps required to free yourself from the shadows of someone else. (Sneak peak, it requires YOU to understand your shadows 😉)

We live in a world that has made spirituality extremely accessible without proper guidance and protection. Anyone can go be in a plant ceremony or obtain a reiki certification. What is missing most right now is Spiritual Integrity. People are obtaining the IMAGE of a practice but not the ESSENCE.

The essence is forged through understanding the sacrifice that’s required to hold that medicine. That essence requires time, dedication, and deep diclipline. Unfortunately, we don’t have many elders or teachers who are upholding spiritual integrity. Instead, they are promoting the mass consumption of certifications, ceremonies, etc.

We don’t need more of this, we need more Spiritual Integrity. And how we align ourself with that is by doing our shadow work. It’s by understanding where are we bypassing, avoiding, and abusing our shadows? Where are we neglecting the work that must be done?

Shadow work is foundational to holding medicine in a reverent and good way. Integrity is forged in the shadow and we must preserve the sacredness of these teachings through our shadow work. It is how we make sure we aren’t abusing this work.

Many of us are hitting a point where we are realizing that the certifications, ceremonies, and titles are not enough. We’re realizing that ESSENCE is more important than image. This is leading to a collective feeling of “What do I do now? I am unprepared for the future.”

This is where shadow work becomes essential to the journey. Shadow work is understanding what is the true root behind the unpreparedness? Is it the absence of your ancestral practice? Is it the neglect you’ve had to your shadows of extraction, entitlement, victimhood? Is it your spirit is realizing the importance of learning your medicine?

In this live we go deep into understanding the main 3 reasons you feel unprepared in your path.

🩸Tired of feeling stuck and unprepared in your path? This is for you. Cardinal shadow work is now open. Click the link in my b1o to join the waitlist, limited spots.

There is a big misconception around “what is shadow work”. Many believe it is journal prompts, identifying attachment styles, and looking at the dark parts of self. This is just the surface of shadow work.

Shadow work is a traditional, ancestral, indigenous practice of diving deep into your spirit and understanding what needs to be confronted. This touches on identity, ancestral cycles, the body, relationships, and so much more.

You first must understand what is shadow to then understand the second part of this, HOW do shadows move. This second part is not spoken on nor taught. The fixation on identifying WHAT keeps us stuck. We must also understand the WHY. 🩸⚡️🪶

Read this carefully. If you don’t understand the medicine wheel, you don’t understand spirituality.

The medicine wheel is a way of life. It shows us how spirits move, how to move with the natural cycles of the universe, and how to hold medicine with reverence.

This live is full of teachings, so grab your notebook and pen. The medicine wheel is how we ultimately integrate our shadow and learn our medicine in a way of integrity. It is the way of our ancestors.

🩸 If you’re ready to learn the medicine wheel and confront your shadows, this is for you. Cardinal Shadow Work is a 6 month container where you will dive deep into the teachings of the medicine wheel. You will walk in each direction, retrieving the teachings and lessons of each one. You will work with the ancestors and medicines to navigate through your shadows in each direction. This work is not for everyone. It requires responsibility and a level of humility only obtained when this work is meant to come in. Spots are limited. Join the waitlist via the link in my Instagram bio

Many of us have the belief that we are disconnected from spirit, ancestors, and medicine. I’m here to tell you that you’re not disconnected, you’re mislead.

We must go beyond the statement of “I’m disconnected” and truly understand the root of this shadow. It is our doubt. Our expectations of spirit. Our fear of the responsibility.

This is a potent one full of accountability checks, reverence, and most importantly a challenge to your shadows of comfort. Many people use the words “unsafe” and “harm” as a way to dodge accountability from their contribution to pain and shadow. We must cultivate discernment and true understanding of medicine in order to heal in a good way.

When doing spirit work, you must be prepared for difficult conversations. To be challenged. To hit hardship. This is part of this work. It doesn’t “go away” through bypassing. It will simply build until it erupts. When looking at yourself and other spiritual spaces, ask yourself the following questions: - Are difficult conversations held here? - Am I allowing my shadow to be challenged and my medicine to be elevated? - How are personal and collective shadows addressed in this space? Or are they simply ignored? This work is meant to strengthen your spirit, not derail it. Remember your intentions and ground into your medicine. This will be your pillar ⚡️

This live is HEAVY on responsibility and accountability. The greatest question you can ask yourself and your practitioners is “what is your medicine?” This must go deeper than certifications and titles. Ask them what are the spirits that work with them. What are the ancestors, plants, guides, etc. that work with them? This where we move from empty modalities to potent medicine. 🩸 If you’re ready to learn your medicine and hold it in responsibility + reverence, this is for you. Cardinal Shadow Work’s waitlist can be found in my b1o. Applications are being sent out now.

In this live we go deep into how mainstream spirituality has us half-hazardly using our spirits. Whether it’s through plant ceremonies or modalities, we need to create more awareness and protection for our spirits. A big reason you’re drawn to the next certification or healing is because you are half assing the real work needed. The work required to cultivate that connection you Spirit you desire is within your shadow work. It’s addressing your pains, disconnection, and ancestral shadows.

This live we go deep into understanding the importance of learning your medicine and not another certification (breathwork, reiki, plant medicines, etc.) We get emotional yall 🔥 Bring your pen and paper, this live got a lot of nuggets. 🩸 If you’re ready to learn your medicine and stop chasing empty certifications, this is for you. Sign up for my waitlist on Instagram @thecreatorcole

This live is for everyone. From spiritual practitioners to those of you just beginning, this is a message for you. Mainstream spirituality has created a world where we think the next certification, plant medicine, or healing is going to fix us. The real solution to all of this is learning your medicine and your shadows. 🩸 If you’re ready to do this work in a good way, Cardinal Shadow Work is for you.

Many of us are familiar with the shadows. We’ve spent our whole lives there. We begin to fear medicine and mistaken it as bad because all we know is shadow. We are blind to the medicine. In this live we go DEEP into the importance of learning your medicine. Of what is medicine. And how to apply your medicine to your healing journey. Let me know your thoughts in the comments after you watch. Lets talk. ⚡️🪶

There’s a big misconception around shadow work and what constitutes a shadow. Shadow work is more than journal prompts. It’s more than bad feelings and behavior. In this live we go into what it truly means to know your shadow: - What is your shadow’s name? - What is its language? - What is its actions? - What is the pleasure you gain from your shadow? - What is it’s purpose? Shadow work has many layers and nuance. It’s time to do the real shadow work and bring in big medicine 🪶⚡️✨

In this life I GO DEEP into understanding the four phases of healing. So many of us don’t understand that there are phases to our healing. Instead, we listen and follow New Age rhetoric that keeps us stuck and plateaued in our healing. The four phases go as followed: 1.) Awareness - the mind. Therapy, breathwork, sound baths, tarot. Concepts of the mind and curiosity. 2.) Body - Somatics. Plant medicines. This is where main stream spirituality is currently at. An explosion of nervous system work, trauma stored in the body, plant medicines. 3.) Shadow - Deep innerwork. This is the part of the healing journey many of us are at yet refuse to acknowledge. This is the phase we try and spiritually bypass. Main stream spirituality has yet to catch up here. 4.) Spirit - Wisdom. A deep knowing. Where lessons are imprinted on your spirit. There is a deep knowing that is gained here. Join the conversation and let me know where you’re at in your healing journey after watching. Let’s do this work.

Too much bullsh*t has been projected within spirituality. The belief that affirmations, rubbing crystals on our third eye, and taking plant medicine every week will heal us. No. This is an extreme form of extraction and privilege. Real healing is in the mud. It is where you are confronting the darkest parts of yourself and pushing through anyways. Shadow work is for the warriors. It is for those of us who hold strong spirits and understand the urgency of confronting the shadows and learning how to heal them. 🪶 My work here is not to sip mimosas in Puerto Rico on stolen land, consume plant medicines, and call it a retreat. No. My work here is to get us uncomfortable. It’s to look at what we’ve been running from. And through that process our spirits learn a deep level of humility, reverence, and integrity. We discover the medicine that we hold in our spirits and that of our ancestors.

There’s a misconception that medicine is all love and light. Our deepest medicine is hidden in our shadows. It is what has been buried, not only ancestrally, but also by ourselves. Shadow work is the process of digging these pieces out and learning how to hold the medicine in a GOOD and REVERENT way. We discuss: 🌿 Knowing medicine without shadow is illusion 🪶 Our shadows hold our medicine ⚡️ How to reclaim your medicine within the shadow & much more This is the part of the healing journey that many don’t talk about. The part where we must confront our darkness. The part where we are asked to sacrifice our comfort in order to progress in our wheels / journeys.

In this episode we begin to understand the foundational teachings of the medicine wheel and how we use this knowledge to help us heal our shadows. The medicine wheel is found in every ancestry and allows us to remember how to heal in a good way.

Sometimes you don’t need another healing, you need Shadow Work. Join me in this conversation to discuss how to identify your shadows and reclaim your medicine.

We’ve been lied to and told that more love and light is the cure to our pain. This is not true. We must learn how to navigate our darkness and our shadows. This is where the real healing comes forward. We touched on: 🌿 Appropriation and desecration of sacred medicines 🔥 Selfishness in spirituality ⚡️ Importance of learning your shadows and healing them. The medicine is here for us. It is up to us to listen to that call. Shadow work is what will bring us into the world we desire. Healing our darkness and learning from it like our ancestors did. ⚡️

In this episode we go into the real reason of your fear of shadow work. It is deeper than many of us think. It is also a powerful reason why we neglect doing this much needed work. It is how we reclaim our power. Our medicine.

In this live we go deep into the four seasons of life and how to navigate each one. There are shadows and medicine in each season. It is up to us to learn how to use the medicine wheel to learn how to flow between the seasons.

You are more than your shadows. There’s a myth that we are only our shadows. We are so much more. We hold our medicine, our healing, and our wisdom. Part of the shadow work process is not only identifying your shadow but also recognizing the medicine you hold.

Are you feeling stagnant in your spiritual path? Are you ready to take your work to the next level with integrity? This episode is for you. Join me as we discuss all things related to spiritual plateaus and how to move through them.

Strip your certifications and titles away, what is your medicine? All of us hold a unique medicine. It is through shadow work and working with the medicine wheel in a traditional way that we learn or medicine. Listen now to find out more.

If you’ve been wondering what is shadow work, how it is done, and how it relates to the medicine wheel, this episode is for you. Let’s dive deep into understanding the fundamental parts of shadow work.

Learn how to heal your shadows in the traditional way through the elements and directions. The original ancestors (elements) are for ALL of us to work with and learn from. In this episode, we discuss how to work with the medicine wheel and it’s teachings of the elements to help us heal.
