Quite strange really. Over a Christmas meditation retreat, I had a powerful vision that someone would boldly call out that man is insane and begin the healing. Eckhart Tolle & Oprah launched the New Earth series two months later.

Though I’ve heard of shadow work for years, something told me now was the time. February I did the class and this week a huge launch of the book is bringing shadow work to the world. And, you’ve already begun that journey here.

Here’s a video and article with Deepak, Marianne, & Debbie on the CBS early show. Each reveals one of their shadow qualities and how it has served them to be the leader they are today. Deepak was an addict. Marianne is tough on people. Used to be we’d condemn and shame someone for revealing this truth. Now, we embrace our own humanness and heal our own shadow.

Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, & Marianne Williamson have joined together to write a book on the shadow. It’s such a core to healing in their work, this makes so much sense. It’s time the entire world recognized the shadow and we each heal our own shadow, so we can bring peace, joy, and prosperity to everyone.

Here’s a video about the launch.

The Shadow Effect: Illuminating the Hidden Power of Your True Self
]]> https://erolfox.com/the-shadow-effect-book-gets-released/feed/ 0 374 The power and freedom of shadow work. https://erolfox.com/the-power-and-freedom-of-shadow-work/ https://erolfox.com/the-power-and-freedom-of-shadow-work/#respond Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:02:43 +0000 http://inherentexcellence.com/blog/?p=372 It’s been a while since I’ve shared the power of shadow work. I’ll bring you more in following articles. I run across the shadow so frequently now and see how much peace and freedom it brings.

Of course, calling it a shadow might have some shy away. We want to talk about Light, happy thoughts, and we don’t want to dwell in the darkness. But this is actually quick work, not dwelling. We find an area of shadow and turn on the Lights. Done. Light is the best disinfectant.

Today, I just wanted to remind us of how freeing it is to identify a shadow element, something shameful we are hiding from, and become free. Consider 12-step programs for example. The first step is to OWN the shadow. Unless we own it, it owns us! We declare what we’re ashamed of to loving people who will not shame us. When someone declares, “I’m an alcoholic”, they break the control of the ego. They step into the Light and realize they are not broken. They are human. They get more freedom in that instant, freedom from ego, and more connection with the Light.

Owning ALL of us sets us free to be human, not perfect. Let’s drop the idea of perfection that we use to abuse ourselves and others. Let’s instead be human, loving, and whole.

More to come…
