We find our balance in wholeness, not in one-sided holiness.
Ever feel like you're teetering on an emotional seesaw, trying to balance the good and the bad within you? In this eye-opening episode, Father Bill W., an Episcopal priest who has been sober since 1972, takes us on a deep dive into the concept of 'shadow work'. Drawing from Robert Johnson's teachings, he explores how focusing only on the 'good' parts of ourselves can actually throw us off balance.
Father Bill uses the metaphor of a seesaw to explain that true wholeness comes from embracing all parts of our personality, not just the ones we like. He emphasizes the Seventh Step prayer, “My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad”, reminding us that we find balance in accepting our whole selves.
Father Bill also revisits the lost 11th Step practice of Two Way Prayer, which he believes can help us connect more deeply with our inner selves. This episode is packed with practical tips for engaging in shadow work and finding that elusive central balance in our lives. Whether you're in recovery or just curious about the deeper aspects of your personality, this episode offers valuable insights and guidance.
Tune in to discover how embracing your 'shadow' can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life.
