the practice of shadow integration
What is shadow integration?
The practice of bringing into our conscious awareness that which lives in the dark in our minds and hearts.
The interior parts of ourselves we protect, suppress, or exile to keep the peace, to play along, to belong.
However, when we want to make courageous changes and transitions in our lives, deep fear can emerge, often holding us back from moving forward, even when we don’t logically know why.
Consider for a moment — we humans can feel scared about all kinds of life situations yet we still move forward with many of them. Think about the risks you take — you are choosing them, right? Even when you feel fear.
Yet when our fear actually holds us back from pursuing the opportunities, desires, and truths we long for in life, we can be sure a shadow abides within that fear.
Our common response is often to seek clarity in such situations, looking for a way forward that feels safe and secure. And the clarity we are seeking lives within the practice of shadow integration.
Integrating our shadows brings all parts of us together — no separation — to clearly and courageously cultivate the life we desire.
Shadow integration is a life-long practice that can be learned, studied, and practiced in a way unique to you and your deepest growth and healing.
integration: the practice of rendering whole; bringing separate parts together
embodied: to be fully expressed, wholehearted; one who lives and breathes their authentic truth

want self-paced, guided practice?
Healthy relationships & courageous living asks us to really get to know the layers of who we are — the lighthearted parts out in the open and the exiled parts left in the shadows.
We’re conditioned from an early age to diminish parts of ourselves to form (or retain) attachments to our families of origin, cultures, faith traditions, societal pressures, …you name it.
We learn how to be honest — up to a point — in order to stay safe and then we go emotionally underground with the rest of us.
In this trauma-sensitive practice guide, you will gently begin to befriend your shadows. You’ll also explore how your fears & desires intersect, and discover key next steps to love all parts of yourself forward.
