"Your identity is like your shadow:
not always visible and yet always present."
Fausto Cercignani
Our shadow self aught not be described as our 'darker' side. It is our quieter more reflective area where wisdom resides. It is the part for personal observations and awareness, sometimes shared with trusted friends. Perhaps there is a margin for incubation, our thoughts being like baby seeds, when nurtured, thrive.
Too much of anything whether internal or external can lead to poor use of our energy. It is through choice that we maintain balance. If we experience a sense of being 'off', it is a signal to realign. All of this requires us to be aware of our inner child needs, physical necessities and spiritual blessings.
When time is taken to monitor our self-care, we can use all of our senses while making decisions that best meet our needs ... not the demands or expectations of others. Life is most rewarding when we learn from our shadow self and then carry the lesson out into our world. The shadow is a positive force not to be hidden or ignored.
