Shadow Work Guidebook: Steps to Becoming Whole

by Jessica Cross

Do you have a part of yourself that you try to hide from others? Maybe it is a part that makes you sad or embarrassed or arrives unexpectedly with outburst of anger or tears. These parts are your shadow. They are the parts that you learned could not be shared with the world or even with yourself. In this book you will be given activities and meditations to start healing these parts and learn how to incorporate them to become whole. Reaching for the shadow is an important process if we are going to become the whole adult we want to be. We want to choose who we are, not have it dictated by someone else. Often our shadow aspects are scared children who need a hug. They need to be appreciated for how they tried to help us growing up and they need to know that they can come out and will be heard and supported. The shadow will rear its head regardless of whether you acknowledge it. Would you rather put your arms around your shadow and tell it you understand then have it periodically take over your body or prevent you from accessing some parts of your talent and abilities? Don't fear your shadow, it is you, but it is much easier to handle when you know it! I used to find myself overreacting to stress because a situation opened an old wound from the past. I started doing Shadow Work to learn to cope with current stress, rather than reliving stress from the past. Carl Jung described the shadow as the unknown side of the personality. Through Shadow Work you can learn to focus on the actual challenges of the moment rather than reliving the hurts of the past. Since this can be difficult I have created a 7-Step Process to ease into this work in a gradual way that focuses on Self-Care and Guided Meditation. Face the Challenge of Shadow Work with me in a nurturing format with this E-book. This book journey will help you heal, through guided meditation, practical activities and even some astrology for fun. Reaching for the Shadow is an important process if we are going to become the whole. Use the 7-steps provided to do this important work that will change your life, in a week or a few months. This 60 page E-book includes Mp3 recordings of the 7 meditations included in the book, so you can close your eyes, relax, and receive support from guides in meditation. Congratulations on taking this step. You will never regret the time spent learning more about yourself and how to improve your life! Step 1 - Introduction Step 2 - Workbook Step 3 - Exploration (Astrology) Step 4 - Self Care Step 5- Creativity Step 6 - Transformation Step 7 - Ritual Celebration!

Helpful Guided Meditations

This book was very informative and helpful. The meditations were written out thoroughly based on different situations that has occurred throughout one’s life. They’re meant to offer a person different viewpoints upon their own hidden subconscious mind and to help them release personal past aggression and negative aspects.
