A Magical Intention: Honoring the Shadow-Self

"We all have a shadow self that is part of our total reality. The shadow is not here to hurt you but to point out where you are incomplete. When the shadow is embraced, it can be healed. When it is healed, it turns to love. When you can live with all your opposite qualities, you will be living your total self as the wizard."
~ Deepak Chopra, 1995 - The Way of the Wizard: Twenty Spiritual Lessons in Creating the Life You Want.

The other day I was taking my dog Meadow for her morning walk and noticed my shadow. I really had not been paying attention to it. But that particular morning I did. I thought to myself, "I'm glad I can still see my shadow."

Right after I said that, I thought — what an odd thing to say!

Dr. Roberto Assagioli, the Father of Psychosynthesis and the basis for Debbie Ford's first and best book "The Dark Side of the Light Chasers," talked about the Shadow Self and how we can learn from it.

I was once a student of Psychosynthesis and found it fascinating. It combined "incorporate religion and spirituality into an overall view of the human psyche." Very, very interesting subject.

We all have, and have always had, a shadow self. So why not understand who that is, why we have one and learn how the Shadow Self can help us in our journey towards self-awareness?

Making friends with our shadow self helps us incorporate the whole of who we are. And brings balance into our lives.

So many of us are afraid of that part of ourselves. Why? We don't have to be. Think of the Ying and Yang of life. The Shadow Self is a part of who were are. Learn to honor that self. You never know when you may need a little help from your Shadow Self.

BE FULLY PRESENT for this exercise. You can close your eyes or leave them open. Please turn off your cell phone and unplug your regular phone, turn on some soothing music and enjoy this exercise. No one is judging you. Be honest with yourself.

While you're doing this exercise listen to this lovely song by the late Sammy Davis Junior "Me And My Shadow"

Me and My Shadow

By Sammy Davis Junior

 

Imagine that you're going outside early one morning and see if you can catch your shadow.

Have fun with it!

Kick your heels up!

Move around.

Try to hide from it.

Be playful!

How can that shadow hurt you? It is a part of who you are and will always be.

Can you name your shadow? Are you ready to make friends with your shadow?

The shadow picture at the beginning of this exercise is a picture of my Shadow Self. You know what I love about mine? I can be tall and slim! I can stretch my legs and walk long distances in a short time. I can do funny things with my hands and feet. I love my shadow.

Can you love your shadow?

Just imagine you and your shadow having a conversation? What would it be?

Imagine that you are Honoring Your Shadow-Self Now!
