Diving Deep into Shadow

You may be rocked by what you saw during the shadow recording yesterday, but don’t be frightened. We have been programmed by social conditioning to tuck so much into our shadow side. And if you figure that we’ve been alive for 20 or 40 years, there are a LOT of feelings, details and attitudes that will be living underground in our own personal Hades.

Remember, Pluto is named after the god Hades of the underworld, a dense place of darkness and shadow. But the underworld also gives birth to brighter, lighter and more joyful states. Like the Lotus that grows in shit in the Vedic tradition of enlightenment.

The first time I did the shadow recording yesterday I felt like for a moment I was going clinically insane. I had as hideous a shadow as you may feel you have, promise. During this time of DECONSTRUCTION it’s important to rest, to call a friend for support if you need it, to nurture your inner child and your angry or depressed teenager. Exercise and swimming is great, yoga and meditation and prayer is even better. Baths, massage, whatever it is you need (no numbing with more than a glass of alcohol at the day’s end or any drugs) is great too.

The more you see the darkness in your self, the more room you are making to call in the light.

Listen

Now listen to this recording, where your lower self meets your higher self. In pluto terms, this is your lower shadow meeting a part of you that can help you transform.
