Do The Shadow Work
Our shadow is the part of us that we hide from others: our shame, our fears and our wounds, but also our inner gold, our unexpressed talents and our untapped potential.
Shadow work is a form of psychological training that asks you to face and embrace all the parts of yourself that you hide from others – your fear, your shame, but also your highest potential and unseen talents. Shadow work is about turning fear into love and shame into acceptance. It's about owning our shit and stepping into the most authentic versions of ourselves.
This highly practical book uses guided meditations, self-inquiry, mask work, art therapy, creative writing and dream work to integrate our shadow and reveal our inner gold.
In this transformative guide, Charlie Morley integrates ancient techniques with contemporary psychological practices to show you how to:
· Recognise the shadow and how we create and project it
· Find and express the golden or “positive “ shadow
· Transform fear & shame into loving awareness, energy and power
· Integrate the parental, sexual, ancestral and childhood shadows
Through over 20 practical exercises, this book will take you on a life-changing journey to befriend your shadow side and reach your highest potential.

NB: This book is based on my 2017 publication Dreaming Through Darkness but contains brand new exercises, whole new chapters and has been fully updated cover to cover.
And crucially, it does NOT contain any lucid dreaming practices, it is 100% pure shadow work.

Reviews
With great lucidity, Charlie Morley show us how, instead of hiding from our shadow, rejecting it or indulging it, we can in fact integrate it so that we achieve much greater wholeness and personal freedom. I learned so much from this book and know I will return to it time and time again

I have known Charlie for a long time and I consider him a very positive influence in the world. In this book he guides people in how to be more helpful human beings. I strongly believe his authentic confidence and sound mind give him the ability to do this.

To dare to go into the dark I need a guide I know I can trust. Charlie Morley is that guide. What I love most about this wonderful book is Charlie’s courage in authentically sharing his own shadow with me. Inspired by his enthusiasm for transformation and his willingness to be vulnerable, I feel ready for my own journey of discovery, going into the dark to find the light.
