The Jungian concept of the Shadow (all that we hide from others: our shame, our fears, but also our divine spirit and our hidden talents) is a huge source of power but until we bring it into the light this power will remain untapped and our full potential unreached.
Although it’s important to stress that Vajrayana Buddhism does not include the term ‘the shadow’, it does take a wholly transformational approach to the dark side and is full of stories of practitioners integrating their shadows on the path to awakening.
It is said that the Tibetan Buddhist practitioner must be like the peacock: one who can ‘transform the poisons of ignorance, attachment and aversion into the medicine of wisdom and compassion’. It is said that this approach, of literally digesting and gaining nourishment from the shadow, will allow us to utilize potentially poisonous emotions as food for the feast of spiritual growth and enlightenment.
Can the tantric path be seen as a form of shadow integration?
And yet surely the duality of concept of the shadow is negated by the non-dual teachings of Vajrayana?
In this unique talk Charlie Morley, lucid dreaming teacher and author of Dreaming Through Darkness will explore these questions.
Charlie Morley is a bestselling Hay House author and teacher of both lucid dreaming and shadow work.He received authorisation to teach lucid dreaming within the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism in 2008 and has since run workshops and retreats in over 20 countries.
