Welcome to My Blog! Here You'll Find a Pathway to Healing.
Well, well, well. You have made it to my first ever blog post. Seriously though I welcome you to this blog because healing isn't always easy. Within this blog I will give you the tips and tricks on how to actually make healing easy and beneficial to a better life.
My name is Adalyn, I go by Adalyn Jamesly. My name is sort of an alter ego for me when it comes to Jamesly. I started my transition from male to female when I was 16 years old and I decided I wanted to be named Adalyn when I was 18. My former middle name was James Lee but I didnt feel like it was feminine enough so, I put the two names together and out came Jamesly. My name brings me a lot of pride.
Growing up I didn't get the easy route, but who does? Don't we all have some hardship we have to face within our lives? Anyway, a little about me. I was put on this path of healing because I grew up having severe depression, anxiety and PTSD.
Unfortunately, my childhood was a hard time for me. Instead of the opportunity to just be a child I was pushed into the life of becoming an adult really quick. I went through childhood sexual abuse, having n unbalanced family dynamic of parents divorcing when I was young, going through abandonment traumas and the continuing of sexual abuse throughout my teenage years into my early 20's.
Not to mention all the backlash towards me being a transgender woman. Firstly, I came out as a gay male and then slowly found my way to figuring out who I really was but none of it was easy. You can read that story in my future book one day!
I knew because of how my life turned out I needed to heal myself. I was tired of being depressed, I was tired of constantly being triggered by things people would say or do and I was tired of not living my life to 100% authenticity, so I changed my perspective.

How Shadow Work Healed Me
I was 20 years old when I started my shadow work journey. At the time I didn't know it was even called shadow work, I just knew I was doing some sort of healing that needed to be done. I needed to be happy.
I felt like I would have fluctuations of happiness and I learned how to ride that roller coaster of emotions as best as I could until one day I just said enough is enough. I wanted to live authentically and be happy all the time. Why do we have to be sad or angry more than the usual emotional responses we should have?
I started to understand that my fluctuations were because of my traumas and whenever I was triggered I would have an emotional response that I couldn't control and that's what I didn't want in my life. At that stage of my life I knew I had to change why I was being triggered, so I started to study myself. I started to study why my brain acted when I was triggered. What emotions I would feel and how those emotions made me react. Everything I did I watched until I started to learn that this is similar to what everyone experienced and I wasn't alone.
A very good friend at the time told me about meditation. I'm going to tell you that was the best decision I made that changed my life for the better! I would meditate every day for at least 10 minutes. The results that I had after the first week of meditating every day for 10 minutes was miraculous! I could finally feel some sort of ease within my body without having the pressure of anxiety eating away at me like a worm within an apple.
But the true work started when the studying of myself merged with meditation and I took it to a whole new level. I would take hours out of my day meditating and finding the root causes to why I acted the way I did and why I had certain emotional responses when I was triggered.
I found out that I had a whole library of information within me that helped me understand a new perspective around my traumas and limiting beliefs that helped me to heal them completely resulting in manifesting the life of my dreams, living more authentically, loving who I am and having peace with what I have endured.
Becoming a Shadow Work Coach
Now 5 years later I decided to help others find their inner healer by becoming a Shadow Work Coach. I help others with the same methods I used to heal myself when I first started.
I use holistic wellness practices like meditation, visualization, quantum leaping, breath work and more. Within the 5 years that I have had this knowledge I never thought I would get to this point but here I am. I am ready to show you how to unlock your inner healer so you can change your life forever.
