==========================

Do you know your Shadow?
Do you keep your Shadow hidden from others?

One of the most effective benefits of psychoanalysis is the process of uncovering the dark, unhealthy energy in your unconscious.  Carl Jung called these parts of the self that you placed in your unconscious The Shadow.

Here is what Carl Jung wrote about The Shadow, “Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected.”

“Psychology and Religion” (1938). In CW 11: Psychology and Religion: West and East. P.131

What this means is that if you are not aware of your so called bad habits, bad thoughts, bad behaviors, bad feelings, bad emotions you are sure to be really, really bad and continue to be bad.  You are hiding the fact that you are bad and the hiding of your “lack of goodness” makes you weak, mean, irrational and sick.

On the outside you are projecting goodness, but this goodness is not real.  As long as you keep your badness in the dark, you do not have a chance to transform your dark energy into light.  Instead, you are darker and denser than those of us who bring up this material to the light of the conscious mind.

Only those of us who bring up and admit we are not so good or so perfect have a chance to improve ourselves. Only when you admit you have thoughts that are judgmental, can you stop being judgmental toward yourself and toward others.

Personal growth, which leads to more self-confidence, is successful when you admit, know and own your Shadow.  It is to your benefit to know your shadow by admitting the truth that dwells deep inside of you.

Your dark, dense energy is dying to be exposed and set free so you can be relaxed, authentic and happy.

==========================

Does your Inner Critic still have the upper hand?
Do you let your brain tell you what you should and should not do?

In 2005, a published writer and teacher listened to my tele-seminar, “De-fang Your Inner Critic to Find Your Voice.”  During this holistic psychology tele-seminar, I interviewed my dear friend Emily Hanlon, author of the best-selling book, Petersburg.  Yesterday, the published writer shared this story with me in an e-mail.

“I still remember that call, and I use it for myself and when talking to other writers. I have two thirteen-year old cousins who are writers, and we have our own mini-retreats. Yes, that is a pure joy for me. 🙂 Your approach to the Inner Critic is SO good for them in writing and in life. I wish I’d had that at their age.”

What is so wonderful about this feedback is that it proves you can learn to stand up to your Inner Critic.  It also proves that once you know how to stand up to your Inner Critic, you can teach others to do the same.

So many people, especially parents, do not even know they are being controlled by their Inner Critic.  They go through life automatically listening, following and obeying the negative thoughts in their head.  Consequently, they teach their children to obey the should and should nots that have been handled down for centuries by rigid, controlling, unconscious thought patterns.

This is the reason the brilliant philosopher Nietzsche talked about the herd mentality of humankind.  The masses are controlled by their rigid, controlling thought patterns.  Millions of people are stuck in this mass consciousness, which Nietzsche called the herd.  The herd mentality follows false beliefs and negative conditioning without breaking free from the chains that have them locked in the dark prison of their own unconscious.

Everyone on the planet has an Inner Critic. This is a given.  Your Inner Critic is located in your brain and is fueled by judgmental thoughts. The judgmental thoughts that your Inner Critic spews out on you and others are learned from outside sources. The results of letting your Inner Critic dominate your personality are relationship problems, emotional distress, depression, anxiety, mental health problems and physical disease.

If you cannot recognize the voice of your Inner Critic in your own head, the first thing you need to do is expose its nasty comments to your conscious mind.  You need to know when your Inner Critic is talking to you or you will always be controlled by its judgmental energy.  Your left brain is very clever and often a bully.  Therefore, your Inner Critic has the power to confuse you, fool you and even reverse reality on you.

After you learn to recognize the voice of your Inner Critic, then you must learn the assertiveness skills needed to stand up to its constant fault finding.  Once you become strong enough, smart enough and willing enough to stand up to your Inner Critic, you break free from its irrational thoughts, find your authentic voice and walk your truth.

If you have children in your life, please teach them about their Inner Critic and show them how to stand up to its judgmental thoughts.  Do not teach your children to obey rigid, false beliefs and please do not condition your children into the herd mentality.

==========================

If you love to listen to audio, catch some of my 30 minute radio shows on Live at the Edge, free Internet radio. In the library are interviews with famous people like the transpersonal psychologist Dr. Charles Tart and the quantum physicist Dr. Amit Goswami.  Fascinating interviews with spiritual teachers Chris Chrisom, Laura Kamm and Lynn Andrews educate you about the subtle energies that surround you.

Interested in anxiety, depression and the process of transformation?  Listen to some of my solo shows where I share my new holistic psychology approach.  Suffering with emotional distress is not necessary.  These short audio radio shows educate you about real solutions to real problems.  You can even listen to a sample holistic psychology session with a woman who is getting a divorce.

Do you have goosebumps everyday? Many of the Live at the Edge radio shows are so exciting and enjoyable you could allow yourself to experience goosebumps right along with me!  My dear friend Harold Mesibov was a student of Dr. Barnes in Philadelphia when he was collecting his masterpieces from Picasso, Renoir and Matisse. My Live at the Edge interview with Harold turns into an inspiring, creative, art piece.

Not sure how much longer the Live at the Edge shows will be available on newvoices.com because my producer Georgia Jones is passing over. The Live at the Edge audio will be available until the end of the year at http://www.ladybuglive.com/edge.htm

I need help publishing my international Heart to Heart Columns, which were originally published by an English psychologist living in France. If you have editing skills and the time to work on a book project, please email me and let me know.

I am blessed to be hanging out with my mother this week as she turns 85.  Speaking of blessings, notice how often you bless something.  Then, notice how often you curse something.

You want to bless more things than you curse if you want to manifest positive energy in your life.
