Shadow Work: The Parts of Me That I Cannot See Part 1

This episode offers an introduction to shadow work. Our shadow includes all of the denied aspects of ourselves–the parts of us that we can’t accept, and so we push out of our conscious awareness.

The problem with voting our unsavory aspects off of the island of “me” is that these shadow parts continue to heavily influence how we interact with the world around us. And they can have profoundly negative impacts on our relationships as well as our ability to live a fulfilling life.

The process of shadow work involves turning toward these rejected parts with the intention of accepting and integrating them back into our self-concept. This reclamation of our wholeness is key to revealing our intrinsic loving, peaceful, compassionate nature.

While shadow work can seem intimidating or scary at first, it is liberating and empowering work. And it’s a necessary step for gaining emotional maturity, deepening relationships, and showing up authentically and joyfully in your life.

I end the episode with a helpful method for identifying our shadow and a guided meditation for cultivating nonjudgmental awareness.

Tending to Change is hosted by Jeni Juarez, a 500-hr Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), a mother of four, and a dedicated student on the path of the heart. She offers public classes as well as personal sessions designed to inspire and empower the individual to reclaim their wholeness and sovereignty, for the benefit of all beings.

Having struggled with trauma, addiction, and debilitating anxiety, she has deep gratitude for the power of nature, stillness practices, and loving community to completely change the trajectory of one’s life.

Jeni believes there is a significant undervaluation of emotional resilience and cultivating peace of mind in our fast-paced, over-achieving culture, and she’s excited to be a part of the momentum that is actively working to change that narrative.
