"One of the most challenging parts of the critic in the Shadow is the inner critic.
“When your inner critic has completely taken over, and you don't have the clarity to trust yourself, this becomes a significant spiritual crisis." Caroline Myss (from her video on The Critic below).

Caroline Myss comments:
"The shadow has many definitions. I think the best one, one of the most effective ones is to think of the shadow as the parts of yourself that you don't know much about that circumstances in life activate so that you can find out a lot about [them] … The shadow is neither good nor bad.”
Why bother to learn about our Shadow Self? Caroline Myss explains.

This podcast includes excerpts from The Sacred Path of the Shadow video series.
Producer Sounds True summarizes:
“Join world-renowned spiritual teachers Caroline Myss and Andrew Harvey for a FREE three-video teaching series on the psychological and spiritual implications of investigating those parts of yourself that you have buried, abandoned, or disavowed.
“Have you ever had a pattern of falling in love with the same type of person, over and over again, even though the relationships seemed doomed from the start?
“Or wondered why certain events were triggering for you, seemingly out of proportion to the events themselves?
“Or had a sense that there was some creative endeavor wanting to be born through you that you couldn’t quite name, as if it were hidden on the very edge of your awareness?
“All of these experiences are indicators of the Shadow at work. The Shadow is that part of us that is unknown, yet influences every aspect of our lives.
