The Shadow can be thought of as the unconscious realm of the psyche that contains all the material that we find difficult to confront within ourselves. This can include traits, behaviours. However it can also include beliefs, desires, archetypes and most certainly emotions or feelings. This uncomfortable, unrecognised material often plays out in real world situations which, through the conflicts that are created, compels us to look at this material and gives us clues as to what may still need to be resolved in ourselves in order to develop self knowledge.

In this exercise we'll be using active imagination to proactively approach some of this shadow material, understand how it may have been affecting our life, bring it into conscious awareness and reconcile with it to reduce inner conflict.

Before we begin, bring to mind an area of your life that isn't working as smoothly as it could be. This could relate to relationships, career, health, financial situation, or any other area where you are aware of a conflict.
