Shadow Work

Shadow Work

It’s always easy to accept ones your good side. But, can you accept your dark side and give it love? Your shadow side is filled with childhood trauma, negative thoughts & traits. Your shadow side is the part of you that you don’t want to face.

Did you know that you can accept this side of yourself? You can integrate it with the light you have inside. You will become a superhuman. Subconsciously as children we loved superheroes in comics, wanting to be them. Not understanding that we are the superheroes already when we come of age. We become truly powerful only when we accept our shadow side. We can then use that energy to help those in need.

You can’t be only light without dark, you will be blind others and they will run. You also can’t be only dark, it’s too dangerous. (others will still run)

Accepting, joining, understanding and loving all sides of self, we become enriched with self wealth awareness & true power.

True Superhuman

Shadow work, is not an easy. But it is part of living and self elevation to have peace and become one with self. Why not, be the best you can be.

Footnote:

Here on MonkeyBrain has been my personal shadow work/ therapy . Now it’s coming from my fingers in the way of painting. So I’m writing less & painting more.

The Ladies

We are all made up of many different people within ourselves. I love all the ladies who make up my wonderful MonkeyBrain who all keep me entertained. Meet my Girls!

#1, #2, & #3 If you know me you already know their names, LOL.

They all had the same start and I painted them simultaneously.

Do they speak to you? If yes, what are they saying, to you?

Bizzy Monkey Brain

Words have not been coming into my brain as of late. Though my fingers have not been busy writing they have been painting. I have been letting the paintings form themselves. No pre-thought went into any of my pieces other than trying many different techniques. I hope you enjoy.

Ascension : I finished this 1 day before my Born Day

This painting I stared the day after my birthday, it began so different. Then took a form all it’s own.

We are all, Enlightened within.

Happy Birthday @8:59am

October 11, 2025

Current time: 7:10 am

I want to say goodbye to an incredible year of witnessing miracles.

This past year in my life has been a full one, I feel fortunate to say.

People used to say to me, “MonkeyBrain you are such a lucky person”. But this past year has shown me, what one would say is luck is actually a miracle. I feel privileged and humbled by the miracles I witness. They are also ways we are guided by those watching over us. I just choose to listen to them.

In the weeks close to my birthday an amazing thing happened. 

I naturally can show miracles to others. 

How, you ask. 

Well, when I am one on one with a being or a few beings, something inside me will be listening. My attention will divide itself among the conversations around me. Then I will have a few words of what will happen if the narrative is change slightly.  And BAMM! Like that, a few minutes later someone will point out. Look, at what just happened, just as MonkeyBrian said. These moments always fill me with a warm light. I can show and watch someone witness a miracle. The look of astonishment and understanding on their face, for me is total joy.

These beings have seen a simple miracle. They saw how easy it is when you change what is going on inside of yourself. It is not always so easy to do.

Miracles happen when you have TRUE love within your heart. 

TRUE love for self and all others beings.

So I am thankful for what this past year has given me the ability to do.

I will keep witnessing and showing others miracles all around their lives.

I’m so happy!!!!

——————————————————————-

After 9 am today I will blow-dry my hair. Get dressed and put the finishing touches on my first new painting. I have not painted for 13 years, but this year many different beings have blurted out “MonkeyBrain, you should paint.” 

Then while in California a friend said to me. “I had to see you because I had a dream that our mothers were together and they said. You need to see Issa and tell her to start painting.”

I felt love at that moment but did not feel the urge. Then 1 month ago, painting is all I can think about. So today I will finish my painting, as a birthday gift to myself from all who has come before me.

Then I will continue with my day and rest of my year, with as little planning as possible.

I am so excited about this year to come. Trying to always stay in the moment. This way, I can enjoy this beautiful life I have been given. Appreciating all the tiny to big things that happen, from the good to the not so good. The not so good things happen for a reason. We must just trust and to wait to see the reason.

I LOVE LIFE, I LOVE ME & I LOVE YOU

Relationships

Some people fight and argue a lot and some people don’t.

Lately I have been an observer. 

I personally don’t like fighting and arguing.

-I have noticed that many times when two people argue it’s because they are mirroring each other. 

-They are actually arguing with the part of the other person. They don’t want to admit, that this part is most like them.

-The similarities that they have within each other come out at the same time.

Family, Friends & Couples.

Family:

When family argue, it’s ugly for us to witness because many times. They are arguing because of the similarities they don’t want to recognize in themselves. No one wants to admit they have a snarky side. As the saying goes family is family. 

Friends: 

When friends fight, it’s ugly for us to see because many times friendships end. But if they can overcome the anger and the situation. The bond of their friendship becomes stronger.

Couples:

When couples fight, it’s ugly for us to witness. Many times they make up but don’t learn from the argument. It goes on repeat. We, as witnesses, see them have the same argument repeatedly. This continues until they start to really hear each other. When this happens they  can grow as a couple.

Us:

We beings want to think of ourselves as perfect, but we are far from it. If we can not look within ourselves and see our snarky, mean, short tempered, undesirable side (The shadow side). Our journey in this lifetime will be hard when it comes to sharing our lives with other beings. Our shadow side is just as important as our light side. When we accept both sides and coexist with them, we become perfect together. Our journey here on this planet will be easier.

Light side: love-happy-innocent. What we want everyone to see.

Shadow side: pain-anger-trauma. What we don’t want anyone to see.

To be whole we must accept and love both sides of ourselves.
