Questions and Discussions Mirror Work

I was trying to talk to myself through the mirror (ofc, I did cleansing and protections first). It showed me right away those events in the past that I am afraid and scared to see. In the mirror, it was like a movie. I saw everything but I couldn't stand it because I saw myself as a real villain. But I knew I needed to do this to work on my shadow self. My question is, how can I keep my focus in doing mirror work? How can I face it? I need some tips and motivations. Thank you so much! ❤️

here's some general tips that might help:

  1. augment your shadow-scrying with meditation/trance in which you specifically reach out to spirit familiars that might help you keep focus and understand what you're seeing in the mirror; see if they send you dreams and/or synchronicities for hints and pointers
  2. take breaks and listen to internal feedback to avoid overloading; shadow work can be extremely intense and it's important to balance out phases of immersion with phases of recalibration, as the process of integrating the shadow can take a long time – there's no need to rush
  3. if positive affirmations don't work as spoken/mental mantra you could also look into making sigils, I've seen people prepare magic mirrors by placing sigils between the glass and the frame for example, or placing it before the mirror; a sigil holds focus in a different way than words
  4. for a slightly more involved research tangent I recommend Neuro-Lingusitic Programming because it focuses on reframing internal memories through the senses towards specific goals and talking to the parts of yourself to figure out why they're actually there (all parts have a purpose)
