If you have been doing self development work honestly and consistently, you may have recognized that you have become more sensitive or empathic to things like your environment, your diet, the contents of tv and social media you consume... so why is this happening if we are doing this work to overcome these types of things? We answer this question and cover a plethora of ways to alter your perspective and carry out the step by step practice to begin managing your environment as you peel away those layers.

In our return back to our initial format, we discussed the term 'Shadow Work' and how it relates to self development work within the J.U.S.T. Philosophy. We then shared some step by steps and tools & techniques for how to discover what your main shadow work is and how to begin working on bringing it to light and healing the triggers and traumas related to it.

When we hear the terms masculine and feminine, many minds go straight to male or female. But when we are talking in the context of energy, this is actually relating to the frequencies of certain attributes and how we possess the ability to tap into these energies within us, as each of us is made up of a combination of both. In this episode, we present a look at the Divine Masculine and Feminine for a grounded and useful application to our self development work.Other Relevant Episodes:A Powerful Tool for Navigating the Emotional Process: The Three Rshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/the-three-rsPolarity Vs Duality and the Role of Acceptance when Judging Right and Wronghttps://wise-whys.com/episodes/polarity-vs-duality-and-the-role-ofWhat Are The Five Levels of Overall Wellness?https://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/what-are-the-five-levels-of-overall-wellnessHow to Utilize the Concept of Attachment to Further Self Growthhttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/how-to-utilize-the-concept-of-attachment-to-further-self-growthThree Questions to Help You Define Your Authentic Selfhttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/three-questions-to-help-you-define-your-authentic-selfTwo Questions to Help You Define Your Authentic Relationshipshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/two-questions-to-help-you-define-your-authentic-relationshipsWhat is Unconditional Love and the Process of Reaching Ithttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/what-is-unconditional-love-and-the

A mainstream view of relationships that seems to be useful is that they take work to work. However, what may be missing from that perspective is that most of the work in relationships is really individual self development work. Our relationships seem to be in our lives to reflect back what and where we need to make adjustments, shifts in perspectives and healing, if we are truly intending on fostering a conscious relationship.Other Relevant Episodes:How to Utilize the Concept of Attachment to Further Self Growthhttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/how-to-utilize-the-concept-of-attachment-to-further-self-growthWhy Sacrifice & Compromise Are Not Useful In Conscious Relationshipshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/why-sacrifice-compromise-are-not-useful-in-conscious-relationshipsHow to Consciously Navigate Friendships Outside of Our Relationshipshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/how-to-consciously-navigate-friendships-outside-of-our-relationshipsHow to Utilize the Six Priorities in Relationshipshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/how-to-utilize-the-six-priorities-in-relationshipsThe Foundation Principles of Relating: Attraction, Love, Respect, Trust & Forgivenesshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/the-foundation-principles-of-relatingHow to Redirect the Energy of Competition Into Inspirationhttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/how-to-redirect-the-energy-of-competition-into-inspirationThe Push & Pull of Subtle Energy Around Our Wantshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/the-push-pull-of-subtle-energyA Powerful Tool for Navigating the Emotional Process: The Three Rshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/the-three-rsWhat Are The Five Levels of Overall Wellness?https://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/what-are-the-five-levels-of-overall-wellnessThree Questions to Help You Define Your Authentic Selfhttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/three-questions-to-help-you-define-your-authentic-selfTwo Questions to Help You Define Your Authentic Relationshipshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/two-questions-to-help-you-define-your-authentic-relationshipsWhat is Unconditional Love and the Process of Reaching Ithttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/what-is-unconditional-love-and-the

Over the last year, The Five Levels have been talked about in just about every episode of ours. So many of you have a pretty good idea of what they are and the purpose they serve within The J.U.S.T.

So here it is.
