Getting Started:  'Dancing With Your Shadow' is a two part practice. Part one is developing the “witness consciousness”, learning and practicing detached mindfulness, connecting with the spiritual energies of our higher self. This simultaneously leads to an awakened alpha trance state which is the optimum brain wave rhythm for healing and the conscious experience of peace, a sense of unity and connection with Life.

Part two entails opening to the repressed energies of our subconscious mind which are exercising an undesirable influence on our behavior and our intentions, sabotaging our will and our conscious choices. These energies may be the result of trauma, memories which are experienced as annihilating to our sense of self. They may be unflattering character traits with negative emotional qualities such as jealousy, manipulation, lust, violence, etc. in need of redemption. Or they may be defensive support patterns we developed as substitutes for unmet needs. As these energies are by definition repressed and quite subjective, the help of a facilitator is almost always initially required to get a glimpse of their presence and influence in our character makeup.

We find it most helpful to have some amount of facility with “the Witness” to have a grounded and supported “container”, a basic idea of healthy love of self, and some ability for detachment as we begin to open, non judgmentally to our shadow material. The following affirmations can be helpful in grounding, centering, and establishing our connection and relationship to our higher self. When properly understood, these affirmations should lead us to a peaceful sense of enthusiasm and encouragement for the path of “dancing with your shadow”.

DECLARATION OF SPIRITUAL IN-DEPENDENCE:

I declare my freedom from dependence on any person, place, or thing.

I declare myself In-Dependence to my Higher Power: The Source, Strength, Destiny, and guidance for my life.

I unconditionally accept myself exactly as I am and allow myself to fully recognize my self-defeating ways. As I forgive myself and others, I free myself
to make new choices for greater freedom, moment by moment.

I free myself from all blame of others for my current situations, knowing myself to be a co-creator with God.

Day by day, I discover spiritual freedom through the commitment to the
practice of:

1) Living fully in the present moment.
2) Standing in and expressing the highest truth I know.
3) Demonstrating the Light of pure Loving through all my thoughts, words
and deeds.

In and through the power of The Source, The One Presence, I declare and
accept my freedom to experience and express my divine Self.

The Source

The Source of our lives is holy.
I am a pure expression of The Source.
Here and now I receive my complete 
fulfillment from The Source, as I allow
unconditional self-acceptance and forgiveness. 
I realize that only Love, which is our essence,
is real. Everything else is a call to love, to be
reconnected to The Source, which is our home,
our strength, and our destiny. So it is.
