Inner work is like a quiet pilgrimage into the mysterious dark forests of the mind and heart.
Indeed, whenever we experience a spiritual awakening of any kind, we become like lone wolves beginning our quest through the dense vegetation of our inner worlds.
We don’t know the way.
We don’t know the path.
We may feel lost, disoriented, and a little scared.
Yet, something deep within us – the Soul perhaps – knows that this is a journey we must undertake in order to find true freedom, healing, belonging, and fulfillment.
Like any journey, there are many routes and paths we can take to get us through that subterranean world of our deep psyches and toward our inner Center.
So, which path do you take?
That’s where this test can help you out.
Remember: you can return to this test as many times as you want to get an idea of what your needs are, because they can and do change throughout your journey as a spiritual wanderer.
Treat this test as a resource that can help you tune into your inner wolf and what path it wants to traverse next.
You can also see our illuminating Inner Work Journal Bundle if you’d like more in-depth and guided help exploring all inner work paths, which has been created with the greatest level of care and integrity.

Greetings beloved Soul. Thank you for this blessing and advise of which has not resonated as yet. ( I will get the subconscious mind around this). Your article was an awakening to the new paradigm of letting go of the past, working this through in the most kind and gentle way. I Humbly thank you for this for teaching and new ways of changing the past. This is a different way and perceptive of dealing with the past and now embracing the new. Your teachings and work is gratefully appreciated.
Love and light

Thank you for sharing this, Sallyjane :)
I’m really struggling right now with the realities of global politics, especially in my country of origin (US). I feel a deep sense of betrayal, not only personally, but of so many people everywhere.There’s almost nothing I can do to change things, especially since I now live outside the US, but I can’t figure out where exactly I should be expending what little energy I have left. How can one work towards a better inner equilibrium when the world is clearly spinning totally out of control?
By not making our inner peace dependent on external circumstances. By understanding that “charity starts at home,” as the old saying goes, and sorting out our own inner and outer immediate lives. This will then ripple into the whole. We may not be able to change the shitstorms around us, but we do have control over the one inside of us.
Ugh! I honestly believe I’m supposed to just stay in the shadow world …lol. I end up needing to go back to my shadow work and shadow workbook “A LOT (I believe I’ve printed and reprinted 9x times already, that’s just what I can remember. Ugh!).
Don’t get me wrong, it is extremely helpful,and my therapist and I generally open a new shadow every time I go back into it. Just FYI…We do EMDR as one option to get deep into where those past shadows are hidden. (Do not attempt EMDR on your own, talk to a therapist if it’s something you’re interested in learning about, it can be extremely and highly triggering and emotional; you will need a professionals help, just FYI). Shadow work alone is exhausting and triggering and difficult. It’s not my favorite, yet it is my favorite. Once I’m through all the work, it’s absolutely amazing, beautiful, freeing, invgorating.I feel like I can take on anything and everything. My problem is I do. That’s why I personally end up right back in “shadow world” again and again. I know what I need to change, and I know why, It’s the how to do it without loosing who I really am that I struggle with. I do really good for awhile and then I’m right back where I was. I am easily manipulated and people know this and eventually I get broken down once again.
I’m glad you have 1:1 support, LaVonne. It’s normal to go back and forth repeatedly. You’re certainly not alone. ;)
