Let’s get real for a minute.
Shadow work isn’t just a buzzword for healing or a trendy caption for your journal aesthetic. It’s not all incense, candles, and sweet affirmations (though those things can support the process). Shadow work is about looking straight into the darker parts of yourself—into the things you’ve tried to hide, forget, suppress, or numb out—and saying: I see you.

🜁The Shadow Is the Unconscious

At its core, shadow work is a deep dive into the unconscious. This is the realm of the psyche that lives below the surface—below the curated self, the ego, the mask you wear in daily life. It’s the place where your raw instincts live, and often, those instincts were shaped by trauma, pain, and survival.
Your unconscious holds your fears, your shame, your self-sabotage patterns, your knee-jerk reactions. It also holds powerful wisdom—but only if you’re willing to do the work to access it.

🜄 Trauma Creates Shadows

Every wound you’ve endured—every betrayal, every abandonment, every moment you weren’t seen, held, or protected—created a ripple in your system. Those ripples became blockages in your body and spirit. And those blockages? They lower your frequency. They create resistance. They trap your energy.
And the worst part is: the longer you ignore them, the louder they get.
You may find yourself stuck in cycles of fear or resistance. You might act out, lash out, or rebel against the very boundaries you wish you could hold. You may self-sabotage, or keep attracting the same painful lessons over and over.
That’s your shadow speaking.

✧So, What Is Shadow Work?

Shadow work is the courageous act of turning toward those wounds instead of running from them. It’s sitting with the uncomfortable truths. It’s asking yourself, Why do I react like this? What am I really afraid of? Where did this belief come from?
It’s realizing that your fears, your darkness, your anger, your shame—all of it—is not bad. It’s not evil. It’s not something to exile. It has a purpose. Your shadow formed to protect you. To keep you alive. But you're not surviving anymore—you're here to thrive.
So now it’s time to understand the origin of those shadows. To give them space. To listen without judgment. To stop gaslighting your own pain and start holding it with radical compassion.

🜂Do the Work

Write it out. Scream it into a pillow. Cry until you feel hollow. Meditate. Journal. Rage-dance. Sit in silence. Create art from your wounds. Go to therapy. Breathe deeply. Get bodywork. Read your triggers like holy texts.
But whatever you do—don’t pretend it’s not there.
Because sweetheart, it’s fucking there. And it will keep running the show until you decide to take the reins.

✧Love Yourself Through the Icky Parts

Shadow work isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s not about becoming more “positive” or “spiritual.” It’s about becoming whole. That means embracing the parts you’ve called ugly, shameful, broken, or unworthy.
You’re not broken. You’re layered. Complex. Mythic.
You are the storm and the stillness. The wound and the healer. The shadow and the light.
So go into the dark. Hold hands with your shadow. Learn its name. And then rise, not in spite of it—but with it.
That’s shadow work. That’s where the real alchemy begins.


Alchemical Transformation is not just "spiritual coaching program" it is a transformation through the darkness. It is raw and guided. 
Are you ready?

Much Love,
HP Sandi

About Our High Priestess and Founder

 

About High Priestess Sandi Santiago 

Founder of Liminal Soul Healing
I am not here to soothe the surface. I am here to summon your soul.

For over two decades, I have walked beside those lost in the fog—stress-bound, soul-weary, aching from the weight of trauma and the silence of blocked potential. Through the sacred shadows, I have helped guide them back to themselves. Whole. Sovereign. Transformed.

I am High Priestess Sandi Santiago, known in the unseen circles as High Priestess Sage Moonmaiden—a name earned in the space-between, where the old self dies and the true self is born. I serve under the fierce and holy gaze of Kali Ma, the Great Liberator, the Dark Mother of sacred destruction and divine rebirth. It is She who moves through my work, clearing illusions, awakening truth, and forging the alchemical path for those ready to rise.

A Liminal Soul is one on the edge of transformation—no longer what they were, not yet what they are becoming. This is the threshold I hold. This is the work of Liminal Soul Healing: to guide seekers, sensitives, and sacred rebels into their divine remembrance through healing, teaching, and radical community.
I draw from a vast apothecary of healing tools—ancient and modern—to build custom experiences for every soul I serve.
I am an Ordained Minister, Reiki Master, EFT Practitioner, Sound Healer, Light Worker, Starseed, and Yoga Therapy Instructor. My path is one of integration—of combining sacred technologies into something powerful, personal, and alive.

My own healing journey has been one of fire and grace. I have faced autoimmune disease, depression, dissociation, trauma in both body and mind—and I have alchemized it into wisdom. I carry that lived experience with compassion and reverence into every session, ritual, and initiation.
 This work is in my blood, my bones, my breath. And now, I offer it to you.
If you are standing at the threshold, aching for truth, ready to shed who you are not—
I am here. Let me witness your becoming.
