6/23/2019 0 Comments Personal Road Map Course, "Getting to Know Thyself, Better" (Shadow Work Lesson 2: Looking back at ALL you have accomplished; includes FREE PDF)What have You ACCOMPLISHED, so far? In this exercise: Treat your life like a CHECKLIST Each life we live is different from any other life ever lived or will be lived; either by us or by the billions of other souls in this world. Some of us are destined for greatness, right now; while others are meant for something less grand, but still just as important and necessary. The point of Shadow Work is to connect to our inner selves and find out who we really are- from a “big picture” point of view. A good starting point to get to the nitty-gritty darkness of our souls is to start with the good stuff, first. And to clarify- Darkness does not mean evil; darkness is instead a reference to the wounds & scars we carry upon our hearts and souls. That’s where this lesson is going to take you. Today, we’re going to find some of that good stuff by looking back on your life so far… all that you have accomplished, whether the results were good or bad. And how we’re going to do that is by reviewing events in your life (good or bad, big or small) that you have completed in some way. I want you to close your eyes for a bit and think of your life as one big, albeit- overwhelming, checklist. If we apply this idea to this exercise, what it is we are trying to focus on is events that have been completed- either by victory or defeat. Perhaps when one event ended- you got ahead in life (i.e. a graduation or a promotion), or you survived something life threatening (i.e. a car crash or giving birth), or maybe you helped someone in a way that impacted their lives (i.e. introduced your friend to their spouse, or talked someone out of suicide). Only you know what your accomplishments are; and these can be big or small… anything that was a task finished, a chapter closed- is an accomplishment, for this exercise. “Anything that was a task finished, a chapter closed- is an accomplishment.” T.B. Cooper I did this exercise a while back, and I've decided to share my list with you. Any personal info such as names/locations, etc., have been blacked out out of respect for the privacy of those involved. But, maybe... by looking at my list you can get an idea of how to complete your own... **Trigger warnings for content in the next two photos** And yes, you can totally do this exercise on a regular piece of paper like I did, but I have made a PDF for you, included with today's lesson, that you can stick in your notebook or binder, or where ever you've chosen to keep these lessons together.
After you’ve started your list and written down as much as you can think of, take a few moments to reflect on each “event” you listed. Then, like you did in Lesson #1 of Shadow Work, you have several Event Reflection Blocks near the end of this exercise to explore further some of the events you’ve listed. Perhaps some of these you hadn’t thought about listing in Exercise 1. You can dissect these additional events using the same format to further understand the lessons you’ve learned from each one. Well, that wraps up Lesson #2...
Thanks for sticking with me this far. It's been a rough couple of weeks, but I'm getting through it... As always, I hope you guys are all doing well. Let me know if you have any questions so far (Contact Me). And don't forget that you can sign up for updates to this course, by visiting my Home Page, here.

6/23/2019 0 Comments Personal Road Map Course, "Getting to Know Thyself, Better" (Shadow Work Event Reflection Blocks Supplemental; FREE PDF)It dawned on me that I forgot to do a Supplemental to Lesson #1 of the Shadow Work portion of this series, in case you guys needed more Event Reflection Blocks to reflect on... so here it is! That is all. Love you! T.B. Cooper

If you haven't already started placing these lessons in a folder or 3-ring binder, I suggest you do so. And also get some dividers with tabs for each area we will be covering. I decided to start the Shadow Work part of this series now, because I feel that doing it concurrently as we, right now, are doing Numerology, couldn't harm anything. Plus, Shadow Work, which is just another way of saying, "Getting to know the Darker Side of Me," or "getting to know why I do what I do, because of methods I've put in place to cope with shit in this life, and all the rest," is really a lengthy and deep process, and I didn't feel we should really wait to dig in. Actually, to be technical... I've kinda felt PUSHED to do this now. *If you're interested in where the concept of Shadow Work comes from, I suggest looking at this Wikipedia Entry to get you started. Use this link>>> here. You could also just type in "Shadow Work" in a Google search and find dozens of sites that can help you find & understand your darker half. For this part of the series however, I will be guiding you, myself. The Lessons I will be sharing will be based off of MY TEACHINGS & Experiences as a Healer & Teacher. So, in other words, I will not be sending you to other sites for the most part, unless, like I did above, I need to send you to something that gives a definition or background. Since Shadow Work is solely about you, the individual, and is a complex mix of Nature & Nurture, I've decided to just kinda do my own thing here, with you guys. Again, as I've stated before, I'm doing this series because I feel compelled to... I feel as though I am just a conduit for the Universe to speak through to help guide/help as many people as I possibly can. So, that's why this area of the series is being presented now, the way it is. What I want to tell you about how I will be doing Shadow Work with you is: There is no "START HERE FIRST". I'm not going in a specific order of operations. I'm really just tackling issues as they come to me... meaning, I am guiding you, as I am being guided to do so. Usually, a lesson comes to me after I have done an impromptu version of it, in real life for someone, so that's kinda how these lessons will be evolving and being taught. For example, today's lesson is about finding the Positive within a Negative situation... WARNING: This is a really hard and triggering exercise. I promise you, Shadow Work is the ugly part of getting to know yourself better. It is painful. But, it is necessary. To grow, we MUST face our demons. We MUST find out what the lessons were in everything we experienced. Do you have to do this lesson now? Absolutely not. But you should bookmark it and come back to it, and/or print out the PDF for when you're ready. Everyone has been through different varying levels of Super Shit in their lives. I will NOT pass judgment on anyone's experiences; I hope that part goes without saying. All I can do is give you some materials to work with, and be here if you have questions or need some help divining your answers. I got you. Contact Me if you need me, honey! Don't forget that you can sign up for updates to this course, by visiting my Home Page, here. And if you missed any of the lessons, those links are found at the bottom of this page. You can print out the PDF for today, below... and the instructions are already printed on the pages, of what to do. But please, do NOT HESITATE to holler at me if you have questions or need help! Love Always, T.B. Cooper
