Reclaim Your Shadow: Integrate and Celebrate Your Power

Are you connected to your Shadow? Is it part of you, fully integrated? Or, like Peter Pan, is your Shadow detached, on the loose, running around creatng havoc?

Separaton from Shadow is separaton from your power. Integraton of Shadow is integraton into your personal power. And that’s the reason to Reclaim Your Shadow!

Shadow is that part of you that is in your unconscious, not yet integrated into your conscious awareness.

We may sometmes mistakenly think of Shadow as the scary parts, the “dark” parts. The unatractve parts that we’re not proud of. The ones that we don’t want to admit we have. The parts that we cover in shame and secrecy. Yet, Shadow is much more than that.

It’s certainly true that sometmes our Shadow parts come from trauma and pain. From unresolved, unintegrated experiences in life.

But it’s also true that Shadow parts come from faulty perceptons about life and about ourselves.

Shadow contains the parts that we repress; the parts that we don’t consciously express. Those parts that are wild, untamed, instnctual, intuitve, creatve, threatening. Those parts that we’re told need to be controlled or eliminated.

When you reclaim your Shadow, you gain a greater and deeper understanding and acceptance of yourself and others. You connect to your authentcity, resilience, intuiton, creatvity, freedom, and power.

As you work in and with Shadow, you integrate those parts into the whole fabric of your life – the whole vessel of your life –beautfully adorned, decorated, celebrated at each point of integraton, as you create and live the life that makes you come alive!

Like the Japanese art of kintsugi, you recreate and reframe the “faws” of your life, adorned with gold dust, silver dust, platnum dust, stardust – the brilliance of all of creaton.

You no longer hide or disguise the “faws,” the diferent-ness. Instead, you see them as part of the history of your life. You adorn, decorate, celebrate, integrate them into the whole fabric and vessel of your life as you create an integrated whole, more beautful and dazzling than the original.
