Shadow Work

The concept of the shadow is found within almost every culture and spiritual tradition the world over, but it was first popularized in the West by the legendary Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung.

He used it to describe the part of the unconscious mind that was made up of all the seemingly undesirable aspects of the psyche that we had rejected, denied or disowned.The shadow is whatever we hide from others: our shame, our fears and our wounds, but also our divine spirit, our blinding beauty and our unexpressed talents.

There are two aspects of the shadow: dark and golden. Shadow work involves shining light into the dark caves of our unconscious mind to reveal the gold that is stored there. We have been looking for that gold in all the wrong places.

Our true power is found not in the saccharine sweetness of ‘spiritual bypassing’ – overlooking our unenlightened human condition – but in the dazzling darkness of our shadow side. The light that we will find there is brighter than we can ever imagine.

Do The Shadow Work

Our shadow is the part of us that we hide from others: our shame, our fears and our wounds, but also our inner gold, our unexpressed talents and our untapped potential.

Shadow work is a form of psychological training that asks you to face and embrace all the parts of yourself that you hide from others – your fear, your shame, but also your highest potential and unseen talents. Shadow work is about turning fear into love and shame into acceptance. It's about owning our shit and stepping into the most authentic versions of ourselves.

This highly practical book uses guided meditations, self-inquiry, mask work, art therapy, creative writing and dream work  to integrate our shadow and reveal our inner gold.

Dreaming Through Darkness

The shadow is made up of all that we hide from others: our shame, our fears and our wounds, but also our divine light, our blinding beauty and our hidden talents. The shadow is a huge source of benevolent power and creativity, but until we bring it into the light this power will remain untapped and our full potential unreached.

In this transformative book, lucid dreaming teacher Charlie Morley guides you into the dazzling darkness of the shadow and shows you how to unlock the inner gold within. Using ancient methods from Tibetan Buddhism alongside contemporary techniques and Western psychology, he reveals how to use lucid dreaming, meditation, shamanic mask work, creative writing and spiritual practice to help you to befriend your shadow with loving kindness, heal your mind and open your heart to your highest potential.
