Indeed.

I will add this - there are basically two ways to handle the darkness/shadows. First is to process it, why it happens, what is the lesson for me, what are the reasons this shadow is in my life, etc.
The second way is to avoid mental processing all together and breathe it in and then release.
It's interesting to note that there's a great gift in traumatic events which comes in the first moments of the occurrence, when we are surprised and caught un- prepared, so the mental guards are massively forced to come down and new energy enters. It's like when we hit our small toe. The pain is sudden and sharp and for a spilt second we lose all thoughts. Darkness does the same for our psyche!

Your darkness is your divinity
