To honor and accept one's own shadow is a profound spiritual discipline.
Ever wondered what's lurking in the corners of your mind? In this thought-provoking episode, Father Bill W., an Episcopal priest and long-time advocate for sobriety, takes listeners on a journey into the mysterious world of shadow work. Drawing from the insights of Jungian analyst Robert A. Johnson, Father Bill sheds light on the 'Shadow' – those hidden, denied parts of ourselves that often reveal themselves through unexpected outbursts or persistent feelings of sadness.
But it's not all doom and gloom; these shadows can also carry valuable lessons and gifts if we dare to face them. Father Bill delves into Johnson's book, 'Owning Your Own Shadow: Understanding the Dark Side of the Psyche', and connects its teachings to the 12-step recovery process. Through his engaging commentary, he explains how acknowledging and integrating these hidden aspects can lead to profound spiritual growth.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the deeper layers of the psyche, this episode offers a unique perspective on embracing all parts of ourselves.
