Dreaming Through Darkness: Shine Light into the Shadow to Live the Life of Your Dreams

Description

Learn how to fearlessly embrace your shadow side in both your dreams and daily life, thereby manifesting the awakened power of your full potential. The Shadow is the part of us made up of all that we hide from others- our shame, our fears, and our wounds, but also our divine spirit, our blinding beauty, and our hidden talents. The Shadow is not bad - in fact it is the source of our creativity and power - but until we bring it into the light this power will remain untapped and our full potential unreached. Being a shadow-worker (rather than simply a "light-worker") is a new holistic approach to spiritual growth that doesn't shy away from our hidden aspects but instead uses them for alchemical change and harnesses the power of the shadow to manifest gold from within! The dark shadow can be seen as the cellar of our unexamined shame, and our light shadow can be seen as the attic of our unclaimed brilliance. Imagine if you could regain the power that lies in your hidden places and bring your darkness into the light? Imagine if you could have less stress, more energy, and more creativity through tapping into the disowned source of the shadow? Imagine if you could actually meet your shadow in a lucid dream? You can, and this book will show you how. Using practical "how to" exercises sourced from lucid dreaming and dream-work, Tibetan Buddhism, and mindfulness meditation, Charlie Morley takes us on a revolutionary journey deep into the dazzling darkness of spiritual transformation. This book explores how to- Transform the dark and light shadow side Meet the shadow through your dreams Unlock your creativity Transform Nightmares through lucid dreaming Manifest your hidden potential Make friends with fear & anxiety Decrease stress through Mindfulness of Dream & Sleep This book will show you how to fearlessly embrace your shadow side in both your dreams and daily life, thereby manifesting the awakened power of your full potential.

Sergio Magana, author of Caves of Power and The Toltec Secret 'Morley surpasses discussion of dream yoga by inviting the inspired reader into the experience itself.
