The Ken Show Integrating Shadow

The shadow refers to aspects of our self that have become disowned, broken off, our pushed into the unconscious. One of the most important goals of healthy integral living is to recognize and reclaim these broken pieces of ourselves, and to reintegrate them back into our total selfsystem so that we can become less reactive, more responsive, and more fulfilled. In other words, we do shadow work so that we can become whole again, to become more of ourselves, to reown and reintegrate all those splintered pieces of ourselves that we may have unconsciously pushed away over the course of our lives.
