Shadow Work for Beginners

We all have shadows. Whether we like it or not, acknowledge it or not, our shadows are a part of us. For some of us, our shadows loom large, dark, and foreboding. For others, our shadows are more like a nagging feeling in the back of our mind that we can't quite shake. But what is shadow work? And why should we do it?

Shadow work is the process of bringing our unconscious thoughts, feelings, and desires into the light of awareness. By doing so, we can begin to make peace with the parts of ourselves that we've been trying to hide away. In some cases, this may mean facing some difficult truths about ourselves. But in all cases, it will lead to a greater sense of self-awareness and calm.
