If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. This collection of repressed emotions and aspects of our identity is what Jung referred to as our вЂshadow.вЂ™ In вЂPsychology and ReligionвЂ™ Jung writes: вЂњEveryone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individualвЂ™s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. Jung believed that we were all born as a blank canvas, but due to our social and cultural conditioning, we all have parts of ourselves that we push down into our unconscious psyche. Everyone has a shadow unless they are standing in the dark.вЂќД¬arl Jung first coined the term вЂshadowвЂ™ when he was trying to answer the following question: вЂњWhy do seemingly good people do obviously bad things?вЂќ The Swiss psychoanalyst used the term to describe those aspects of the personality that we choose to reject and repress. If you had only truth, goodness, and harmony on the inside, and the complete absence of the other, there would be no creative impulse. All experience is the result of contrast. So today, weвЂ™re celebrating our shadow selves, to release ourselves from the taboos that keep us trapped, defensive and fearful.Дeepak Chopra, co-author of вЂ The Shadow Effect: Illuminating the hidden power of your true selfвЂ™ says: вЂњ In order to have manifestation you need to have opposing energies.

Our shadow selves have huge gifts to offer us all. Then we can learn from them, we can create more choice in our lives, we can access more creativity and we can be fully ourselves. And instead of pretending they donвЂ™t exist, we need to embrace these parts of ourselves. We all have a вЂdarkвЂ™ side to our personality. All of the sides of ourselves that we- or society- consider to be abnormal, unacceptable or wrong end up hiding in the вЂshadows.вЂ™ This binary approach to life- good/bad, hot/cold right/wrong вЂ“ is the foundation upon which the shadow self-forms. Emotions like rage, jealousy, bitterness and lust may be repressed because they are typically dismissed as вЂbadвЂ™ emotions. Due to our upbringing and conditioning we have learnt that certain parts of us are not вЂacceptableвЂ™ and as a result we start to deny or hide these parts. Our shadow selves are the parts of ourselves that we believe to be unacceptable (or what we believe society considers to be unacceptable). Join us as we step into our shadow selves and unlock repressed feelings in order to connect to a much more complete and centred sense of self.
