Do the Shadow Work - by Charlie Morley (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Discover what shadow work really is and how to reclaim and integrate your shadow self for healing and transformation.

Your shadow is made up of everything you hide from the world: your fears, your shame and your wounds, but also your untapped brilliance, unexpressed talents and potential. By learning to embrace and integrate these hidden aspects of yourself, you can unlock profound healing, self-awareness and personal power.

With over 20 practices that blend ancient wisdom and modern psychology, this transformative guide will help you:

• Recognize the shadow and how you create and project it
• Find and express the golden or 'positive' shadow self
• Transform fear and shame into loving awareness, energy and power
• Integrate the parental, sexual, ancestral and childhood shadows.

This book will take you on a life-changing and healing journey of self-acceptance. It's time to stop running from your shadow and start befriending it. It's time to do the shadow work.
