Download Embracing the Shadow AudioBook Free
Our "shadow" side comes to the top in associations more than somewhere else. The glad tidings are that when we realize and recognize that we can work with our trend to project our shadow onto those with whom we're in relationship, we can release ourselves from the habit to hurt or control each other, and we can tame our retaliatory impulses. Using Buddhist-inspired mindfulness techniques and practices for cultivating loving-kindness, David Richo shows us how exactly we can become skilled at realizing our projections onto others and we can learn to withdraw them. We can expand from that process, exploring the wisdom in our shadow side that is covered even to ourselves. By befriending and embracing the shadow, we can uncover the gifts we would not otherwise have dared to identify or share.
