We all have a shadow self. This is the part of us we may find unattractive, problematic, troublesome. You may try to hide or ignore this part of you. It can take great effort to do this, and emotional vulnerability can prompt its emergence. Two years ago I found a beautiful meditation that allowed me to lovingly work with my shadow self, the Meditation for Guidance. I shared this meditation video a few months ago if you would like to practice it. It is my go to meditation when I'm finding that I have resistance with my shadow self or its causing me problems (again). Through this meditation practice, you can learn to embrace your shadow self and lovingly, compassionately integrate it with your total self. Sit quietly or with music and allow yourself to gently call forth this part of you. Cradle it in your loving arms, breathe healing breath through it and breathe out as you reflect on all that you love within yourself. You cannot have one without the other and through this practice you can learn to love every part of you.
