Integrating with Our Shadow-self

We usually avoid connecting with our shadow-selves, the parts of us that have been rejected so we have learned to do the same. We keep unexpressed pain, anger, sadness somewhere unseen within us, living in darkness, numbed.

The thing we don't always realize is that we are holistic beings, absolutely every part of ourselves is connected to another and thus is connected to our reality. Denying any part of ourselves isn't really possible- it will show up in your life somehow, usually in many ways.

Connect with and honor your shadow, your darkness, and see what gifts integration brings into your life.
