Becoming aware of the inner voices within you and what they're doing and what function they have in yourself.

And then striving for wholeness, which is found in the present moment.

If you're aware of all your senses here and now, then you can show up more presently and consciously versus if you're not

feeling your senses and your mind is somewhere else and you're striving for perfection, then that really takes you outside and into a liminal place that doesn't exist, but we're creating in our minds.

Hi, everyone.

Great to see you too, John.

Thanks for having me.

Shadow work is all about turning towards what's uncomfortable or unseen within you.

So that could be your wounds, your patterns, your triggers, your projections, your past, your pains, your inner child.

So all of this kind of revolves around the practice of shadow work.

It's about trying to understand

dialogue and integrate your hidden self the one that's hiding or the one that you've never cared to see or look at and it's so full circle you mentioned the beginning of my journey writing the shadow work journal self-published then i got taken by publishers that i work with today my last book that i've written with the publishers is called the light work journal

And light work is this missing component to shadow work.

It's what you do with the wisdom that you've gained from that encounter with your inner self, from your hidden self.

Light work isn't pretending everything is positive and love and light and bubbly rainbows.

It's about showing up integrated.

And with my work in shadow work,

One of the big questions that I was asked was what does integration mean?

And that word can sound a bit obscure and not like fully present to the mind when you're first encountering like integration.

And what Lightwork does is it helps make integration a way of being a showing up in the world and
