The Shadow Gifts

Carl Jung, the legendary psycho-analyst who propounded the ‘Shadow archetype’ phenomenon says, “Everyone carries a shadow, the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is”.

Since we mostly tend to associate SHADOW with only dark, negative or un-likeable aspects, we often get in a suppression, denial, defensive or fight mode towards it. The truth is that SHADOW has more gold than dark. It contains unrecognized, unexpressed & undeveloped potentials of all kinds, not just dark complexes, but equally or even more so the ‘unrecognised & unclaimed potentials’. SHADOW is where ‘dark’ & ‘light’ co-exist & co-create a ‘WHOLE Self’ – aware, affirmative & creative.
