The Dark Side Of Light Chasers
We know the shadow by many names: alter ego, lower self, the dark twin,  repressed self, id. Carl Jung once said that the shadow "is the person you would  rather not be." But even if you choose to hide your dark side, it will still  cast a shadow, according to author Debbie Ford. Rather than reject the seemingly  undesirable parts of ourselves, Ford offers advice on how to confront our  shadows. Only by owning every aspect of yourself can you achieve harmony and  "let your own light shine," she explains. "The purpose of doing shadow work, is  to become whole. To end our suffering. To stop hiding ourselves from ourselves.  Once we do this we can stop hiding ourselves from the rest of the world."As threatening as shadow work may seem, it is often very effective in creating  transformation. Ford's step-by-step guidebook is modeled on a highly successful  course she developed about embracing the shadow. Ultimately, she helps readers  illuminate the gifts and strengths that lie within the shadows. Although this  works sound vague, clouded in dark metaphors, Ford manages to make it clear and  specific. She has the writing gifts of a successful seminar                leader--inspirational, trustworthy, and able to convey murky material with grace  and ease.--Gail Hudson--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
