Shadow Work: Exploring Our Hidden Darkness

Ever hear people say things like "only love and light" or "positive vibes only"? We can certainly try to be all "love and light" all the time, but it would require us to deny an essential part of who we are that is the opposite of this. Let's face it, we are both light and dark; there cannot be one without the other. Our Shadow is equally important to us as is our light! First termed by Carl Jung, our shadow is the unconscious and disowned parts of our personalities that the ego fails to see, acknowledge, and accept. It's any aspect that we haven't yet brought to conscious awareness for understanding, learning, healing, and growing. It is part of what makes us who we are, and we carry it in our soul fabric, meaning...we've traversed many lives with sets of challenges as shadows all in the name of discovering, working through them, and growing from them.  In this episode, Meo and Shannon dive deep into the discussion of shadow work. What is shadow work? Why is it important for our self-discovery, healing, and growth? How do you go about doing it? What does shadow work entail? We're talking ALL of the good stuff here. They even discuss how the process is not easy; in fact, it's hard as f*ck. But doing this deep, self-healing inner work, and loving the f*ck out of ourselves as we do, carries immense benefits.
