Andrea Bordeaux Instagram – The practice of allowing space for all sides, all shades of you to have their moment of expression is the purest essence of shadow work.
I’ve been spending a lot of time meditating on the parts of me that I don’t allow to shine, show up, and be seen.
My core message is always and will always be love.
And in embodying love, I give myself permission to be myself in all of my shades, in all of my expressions.
The good, the bad, the beautiful, the downright ugly.
Because every single part of me has value.
These past six months have revealed to me that I have not allowed some of my favorite and most powerful parts of myself to shine because they used to rise up from the underbelly of my wounding. Through that distorted lens, I didn’t have the maturity to wield what I now see as divine gifts with integrity and care.
That hasn’t been me for a long time, and now, I’m so turned on by who I am and who I get to be.
Regardless of the lens from which I express these parts of myself, I am meant to be provocative. It’s the foundation of my mechanics.
It amuses me when I share something “off color” and people tell me that they are disappointed in me, or surprised by the flavor of my expression.
And?
I’m not here to be predictable.
I’m not here to be palatable.
I’m here to cause seismic shifts and make people deeply uncomfortable.
Discomfort is the catalyst for change.
Not a single Woman that I have worked with was able to transform because I made her comfortable.
For a while now, The Mother has been making me agonizingly uncomfortable, which tells me that there is so much more to me and for me than I am allowing myself.
To honor Her and myself, I’m revealing something very special tomorrow on my feed. If you want a sneak peek, go to my stories and enjoy.
Many of you think you know me and what I’m about.
You don’t.
But I’m excited to show you more.🌹
