This is a blog I wrote for my personal blog, and it's a How-To Guide on how someone can start their spiritual and personal development journey through doing shadow work. This post goes in-depth about what shadow work is, where it began, how it's used, and what the advantages and disadvantages are of doing shadow work.
Carl Jung refers to the “shadow” as the unconscious parts of your psyche. Your shadows are the “dark sides” of your personality, the parts you have repressed.
