All of us have a shadow side. It’s part of who we are, we can’t run from it nor can we get rid of it, because anything that we push away just gets stronger. What we can do is take daily steps to acknowledge the ‘ugly’ parts of ourselves with love and compassion. Healing means coming to terms with our ‘inner beast’, allowing it to be seen and appreciated.
Today’s reading urges us to have patience with ourselves and allow our shadow to be seen so that we can integrate it and begin to transform it into something beautiful.
What are you hiding away?
