Do the Shadow Work

Learn what shadow work really is and how to reclaim and integrate your shadow self for healing and personal growth.

To do the shadow work is to face all the parts of yourself you might not like – the bits that make you embarrassed or feel lonely or shameful. In this transformative guide, Charlie Morley will show you how to really look at who you are, to hold yourself accountable, and uncover the stuff you’ve hidden away or suppressed due to pain or trauma.

Integrating ancient techniques with contemporary spiritual and psychological practices, this book offers a roadmap to embrace your shadow to finally learn to truly love every single part of yourself. You will learn:

• What shadow work is and isn’t
• The different types of shadow, such as the golden shadow, the ancestral shadow, and the sexual shadow
• The transformative advantages of shadow work, such as healing the inner child, moving through shame, and finding self-love and acceptance

Full of practical exercises, visualizations, and meditations, Do the Shadow Work will take you on a life-changing journey to befriend your shadow self and reach your highest potential. This is how you heal.
