Shadow work (As envisaged by Carl Jung) is about exploring all the parts of yourself that you deny. All the parts of yourself you have disowned. All the parts of yourself that you would rather not be, and cannot accept about yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For everything that you identify with; it’s shadow, it’s negation, it’s opposite also lives in you. In your unconscious. In your shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brightest light casts the darkest shadow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doing shadow work helps you understand and heal your deeper emotions, making you feel more at peace and true to yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It helps you get along better with others by being more genuine, less judgmental and more compassionate because you are no longer shadow projecting and can recognise where others are projecting their shadow onto you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When lots of people do shadow work, it makes society better too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People become kinder and more understanding because they see their own struggles in others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This leads to less arguing and stronger connections between everyone. In short, shadow work can make both individual lives and the whole community more harmonious and connected through compassion for everyone via our common struggles.
