SHADOW INTEGRATION

graffiti action, circa 2017

"Shadow integration is a process of bringing the hidden parts of the Self into consciousness. “Shadow” is a term coined by Carl Jung to describe the repressed or denied parts of the Self. It is a light metaphor for what many others have referred to as the unconscious. Shadow includes everything outside the light of consciousness and may be positive or negative. Integrating the shadow leads to greater integrity and healing in relationship to the hidden and perhaps more negative parts of the psyche. Additionally, because our greatness is often in shadow as well, shadow integration also entails a recovery of one’s deeper aliveness, leading to an enhanced sense of freedom and vitality."
