Learning to Face and Integrate the Shadow

We all a little bit Luke Skywalker and a little bit Darth Vader. Each of us has a light side and a shadow side. Often, our shadow side shows up in dreams as a dark, menacing character or a terrifying animal. Our shadow can also manifest in waking life as people we find difficult to deal with.

One way we can heal and overcome our fears and lesson our interaction with the shadow is to face, and then integrate, our shadow characters. 

In this episode, I am going to guide you through a gentle meditation that will allow you to face a shadow character and learn something from him, her, or it. You will be able to hear its message and I will give you ideas about how to work with what it says.
