Shen I first heard about shadow work decades ago, I wondered what exactly it was. I always thought of deep abysses in the soul, traumas, taboos, secrets that you didn't share with anyone because it was too shameful to talk about them. I thought that shadows are what we hide from ourselves and [...]
Psychic Being
II broke off my night meditation a little earlier to switch to writing meditation. A few things suddenly seemed clear to me.
