Moon & Moss🌑 Shadow Work & Inner Child Healing
Shadow work journal prompts: Questions to start with
Shadow work journal prompts to start gently, then go a little deeper when you're ready. One question at a time is plenty.
Starting gently:
- What quality in others irritates me most? Do I see it in myself?
- What emotions do I try hardest to avoid?
- What did I love as a child that I was told wasn't okay?
A little deeper, when you feel ready:
- What do I secretly want but tell myself I shouldn't?
- What pattern keeps repeating in my relationships?
- What part of me might actually be a gift in disguise?
Write for a few minutes, then close the journal and do something grounding: a walk, a warm drink, a few slow breaths. You don't have to finish a prompt in one sitting.
Helps with
- Daily practice
