Reclaiming the parts of ourselves that we have relegated to the shadow is the most reliable path to actualizing all of our human potential.

Debbie FordTo get past your ego and its defenses you need to get quiet, be brave, and listen to your inner voices....When you embrace the messages of each aspect of your shadow, you begin to take back the power youโve given to others and form a bond of trust with your authentic self. The voices of your unembraced qualities, when allowed into your consciousness, will bring you back into balance and harmony with your natural rhythms.
Debbie FordWe must be willing to take an honest look at ourselves and step out beyond our judgmental mind. It is here that we will have a life-altering shift in perception, an opening of our heart.

Debbie FordJung first gave us the term โshadowโ to refer to those parts of our personality that have been rejected out of fear, ignorance, shame, or lack of love. His basic notion of the shadow was simple: โthe shadow is the person you would rather not be.โ He believed that integrating the shadow would have a profound impact, enabling us to rediscover a deeper source of our own spiritual life. โTo do this,โ Jung said, โwe are obliged to struggle with evil, confront the shadow, to integrate the devil. There is no other choice.โ
