How to Befriend Your Shadow
Welcoming Your Unloved Side
EACH OF US HAS A "SHADOW" composed of everything we have driven back into our unconscious for fear of being rejected by the people we loved when we were young. Over the years, we created a whole underground world filled with things that were shameful, displeasing, upsetting to those around us. Our task as adults is to what makes up our shadow, bring it into the light, and to use it for our own spiritual growth. If we refuse to do this work, we risk being out of balance psychologically, and our lives and relationships will not reach their fullest potential. Is your shadow your friend or enemy? That will depend on how you see it and how you relate to it. This book offers you the tools to welcome your shadow, befriend your shadow, and let your relationship with yourself and others grow and deepen.
