2025: When Your Shadow Becomes Your Greatest Teacher

2025: When Your Shadow Becomes Your Greatest Teacher

Audio Only Version of the Video Above:

I remember 27 years ago when I was first forced to look inward. A brown patch had formed on my arm seemingly from nowhere. Then there were more and more, until my arms and legs looked like I was covered in permanent bruises. I went to the GP who happened to also be a dermatologist, and she looked at the patches with alarm.

After tests, I discovered I had developed a form of scleroderma where, in a response to life, I had literally become thick skinned. The brown patches were mass dumpings of collagen into my system which, if they travelled inward, could mean my major organs would harden and eventually fail.

I wasn’t prepared for this fate to become a real possibility. I decided to dedicate my time looking inward for answers.

I was reading the now-famous book The Body Keeps the Score when I came across a fascinating insight: research reveals that “the only way we can consciously access the emotional brain is through self-awareness” (Van Der Kolk, 2015). This means that by activating the part of the brain that encourages introspection, we can truly feel and understand what we’re experiencing. Simply looking outward to the external world isn’t enough; meaningful change requires us to look inward.

This concept resonates deeply when you think about the energy of 2025. Numerologically, 2025 is a ‘9’ year (2+0+2+5=9). If we were to personify the energy of the ‘9,’ it would be someone who looks deeply within themselves and others in search of truth. This person wouldn’t just glance at the surface—they’d pierce through to your soul, uncovering who you truly are. For them, shadows wouldn’t symbolize weakness but instead serve as gateways to untapped strength. They’d have an uncanny ability to perceive your blocks and insecurities, almost as if you were wearing a sign listing your vulnerabilities. Their energy might feel intimidating, like someone who could read your deepest thoughts with unnerving accuracy.

The ‘9’ persona wouldn’t engage in trivial or superficial chatter. They’d be profoundly introspective, preferring meaningful conversations that challenge you to confront what’s unresolved. They’d encourage closure, urging you to release what no longer serves you and to embrace transformation. Picture them as a friend with x-ray glasses—able to see directly into your soul, stripping away pretence with compassion but also firm resolve.

Engaging with this energy would require depth and honesty. It’s not for small talk or casual interaction. The ‘9’ year demands substance, calling on you to face your shadows, reflect on your inner truths, and let go of what’s run its course. If you’re not ready to meet this energy with openness and sincerity, it might feel overwhelming—but if you are, it has the power to transform you.

The energy of the year therefore invites you to explore inwardly to gain the most from it. How do you do that? “Practicing mindfulness calms down the sympathetic nervous system, so that you are less likely to be thrown into fight or flight…mindfulness has been shown to have a positive effect on numerous psychiatric, psychosomatic, and stress-related symptoms, including depression and chronic pain” (Van Der Kolk, 2015).

My body after a dedicated period of looking inward instead of outward for answers, stabilised and, to this day, my affliction has stayed within my skin and hasn’t travelled towards my major organs.

Discuss this article with me

This article is about the profound journey of looking inward and letting our shadows guide us toward growth.

Common responses I hear from clients include fear of facing their shadows, uncertainty about how to begin the inner work, or feeling overwhelmed by what they might discover. Some have spent years looking outward for answers, only to find that the wisdom they needed was within all along.

Share your experiences with inner work and shadow exploration - what unexpected insights or healing have you discovered when you've had the courage to look deeper? What has helped you stay committed to this inner journey?

King Archetype Workshop

When the King energy is active, your inner world is conflicted. Each time you step into your own rules, you hear the voice of the King’s shadow – the tyrant suggesting you are less than, how you’ll never live up to expectations and the weakling ‘prince’ who doesn’t protect your new path.

The solution is to step into the energy of the true King, the matured ‘male’ energy offering centred, confident direction from deep within. The unconscious pressure to ‘fit in’ evaporates as you step into your own leadership. .
