Exploring Inner Shadows and Balance
Have you ever wondered what lurks in the deepest corners of your psyche? Join me, Jeffrey Brunk, as I journey into the shadow realm, guided by the powerful presence of the archangel Michael. In this episode of Everyday Shaman, I share my personal encounter with the shadow, exploring how it influences our lives physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. Through the lens of Carl Jung’s psychology, we’ll uncover the profound significance of balance between light and dark, illuminated by a striking vision of celestial bodies and a pathway of light.
Our exploration doesn’t stop there. We dive deep into the metaphysical confrontation with shadows, bringing to light the delicate balance required for light and darkness to coexist. Through a vivid narrative featuring a shadow named Absalom, we uncover vulnerabilities and test our strengths. Additionally, we reflect on the importance of stillness and inner voices, learning to embrace quiet guidance. As we conclude, I express my gratitude for our shared experience and set the stage for our next journey together. Peace.
