Product Information

Life is constantly reflecting this information to us — but it’s a cryptic code. In a nutshell, you will only be able to see it in another person if that is a quality you have rejected in yourself but that which is still in you. Debbie Ford guides us past the self-punishing patterns that often bind us. Her ideas are exceptionally compelling.”

Dark Side of the Light Chasers, by the late Debbie Ford, is a challenging, sometimes confrontational book. It gets you thinking about aspects of your personality that you don't own up to—and might not want to. Debbie Ford basically states that within us are all qualities, good and bad. That is what makes us human and once we can accept that, we can encounter the Divine. We do this by taking responsibility for our actions and learning how to use our negative characteristics for good. I never thought of doing that but by looking at my negative traits in that way, I feel like I have come to accept myself more. She also points out that we also have to embrace the wonderful qualities that we contain.

The Shadow Effect 9. Shadow Dance: Liberating the Power & Creativity of Your Dark Side by David Richo. Courage: Overcoming Fear and Igniting Self-Confidence. Wayne Dyer (Foreword). HarperCollins, 2012. ISBN 0062068997. It focuses on exploring and integrating our shadow self, as all of these books do on some level, but also to fully embrace ourselves and have greater empathy for our own shadow selves, as well as others. A Guide To Shadow Work” by Michelle L. Geldenhuys offers a 9-step guide to healing that can help you explore and integrate your shadow side, so you can gain a deeper understanding of who you are and live a more fulfilling life. The exercise where you own words you have judged others on by saying "I am _____" was particularly powerful for me. As I said them, I can feel these words just pushing at me at parts of my energy body. It's like something there needed to be released. The more I said it, the more it released. At times, it hurt. There was a tremendous amount of pain to release. But it was the most painful ones that was the most rewarding. As she said in her book - you felt lighter. This feeling of burying a secret inside yourself no longer needed to be veiled.Debbie Ford goes on to explain that even the dark sides of ourselves may prove to be important strengths in our journey. Embracing and accepting them is the key to healing that which we are ashamed to admit or expose to the world. We know the shadow by many names: alter ego, lower self, the dark twin, repressed self, id. Carl Jung once said that the shadow "is the person you would rather not be". But even if you choose to hide your dark side, it will still cast a shadow, according to author Debbie Ford. Rather than reject the seemingly undesirable parts of ourselves, Ford offers advice on how to confront our shadows. Only by owning every aspect of yourself can you achieve harmony and "let your own light shine," she explains. "The purpose of doing shadow work, is to become whole. To end our suffering. To stop hiding ourselves from ourselves. Once we do this we can stop hiding ourselves from the rest of the world." In this groundbreaking book, Debbie Ford teaches us to recognize, embrace and ultimately love all aspects of ourselves. Highly recommended.”
