Shadow Work in Practice: The Why and the How

They say your shadow can sabotage your practice and in fact your every step. But what does that actually mean? Our experience in uncompromising shadow work is rich with stories to highlight that fact.
Most people’s personal practice lacks a deep and uncompromising way to deal with their shadow. And that is a real problem considering that the shadow can and will undermine genuine efforts in the rest of that practice. The shadow makes you miss your goals, complicates and terminates your relationships, sabotages your health, and overall lets you have a bad time.
For years we at Integrales Leben Schweiz have put our focus on effective shadow work. What we’ve come up with is a unique and effective process to integrate into your practice. Here you will get a taste for it.
