What do we mean by the term “the shadow”? You might instantly think we’re referring to evil, but in fact, the shadow is simply disowned aspects of the self, which could be positive or negative traits. The spiritual path isn’t just “Love and Light”. It’s also growing through exploring the depths of your being. Uncovering your shadow gives you empowerment and conscious control in your life.
