Embrace your shadow self from "summary" of Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés Phd
The concept of embracing one's shadow self is like looking into a mirror that reflects the parts of ourselves we may not always want to see. It is about acknowledging and accepting the aspects of ourselves that we tend to hide or deny - our fears, insecurities, flaws, and vulnerabilities. These shadowy parts of ourselves often stem from past experiences, traumas, or societal conditioning that have shaped our beliefs and behaviors.
When we embrace our shadow self, we are not giving in to darkness or negativity. Instead, we are embracing the full spectrum of who we are, both light and dark. By facing our shadows head-on, we can begin to understand and integrate these parts of ourselves, leading to a deeper sense of self-awareness and wholeness.
Embracing our shadow self can be a transformative process that requires courage, compassion, and self-reflection. It involves confronting our fears and insecurities with honesty and vulnerability, rather than pushing them away or pretending they don't exist. Through this process, we can uncover deeper layers of our psyche and tap into our inner strength and resilience.
By acknowledging and accepting our shadow self, we can learn valuable lessons, heal past wounds, and cultivate a greater sense of authenticity and empowerment. It is through embracing our shadows that we can truly shine and live more fully in alignment with our true selves. So, let us embrace our shadows, for they hold the key to unlocking our deepest truths and allowing our light to shine brightly in the world.
