Publisher's summary

"Why are the people around me so difficult?" "Why do I keep getting in situations like this?" Our shadow side, teaches Robert Augustus Masters, contains the emotions and desires we've disowned, neglected, or hidden from ourselves. If not skillfully worked with, it can easily direct our lives on every level.

With Knowing Your Shadow, this acclaimed psychotherapist and author shows us how to illuminate and wisely engage with the endarkened aspects of who we are. Join him to explore in depth the areas where shadow work can most benefit us, including:

  • Discovering and cultivating intimacy with the endarkened aspects of yourself.
  • Identifying and healing your core wounds.
  • Working effectively with anger, fear, shame, guilt, and other difficult emotions.
  • Understanding how your shadow influences those around you, often beyond conscious awareness.
  • Guided practices, meditations, and exercises for developing more authenticity and wholeness in your personal and workplace relationships, your sexuality, and your spiritual path.

Our moods and relationships often seem to have a life of their own. Knowing Your Shadow offers exceptional support for taking charge of your life at a deep level, providing expert guidance and instruction to discover and make wise use of what lies hidden or otherwise neglected within us. Learn More About:

  • Becoming intimate with your shadow.
  • Relating wisely to shame and guilt.
  • Ending your suffering by entering your pain.
  • Exploring the presence of your past.
  • Freeing yourself from your inner critic.
  • Working with fear, anger, and other darker emotions.
  • Bringing sex out of the shadows - how we eroticize our unmet needs.
  • The signs of spiritual bypassing.
  • Healthy spirituality.
  • Becoming intimate with all that you are.

A Powerful Tool For Those Ready to Do the Work

This book will challenge you. For those who are sick enough of living inauthentically, this book is a powerful course correcter - but it is NOT light reading or food for thought.

This is an interactive tool for healing that requires your deepcparticipation. You'll be asked to engage in exercises that may freak you out. But if you're ready to finally know yourself, here are the materials. Nobody said it would be easy! If it was, we'd all be fully integrated, right?

Be ready to surrender everything you think about who you are, how you are, and why you are the way you are. If you're truly ready to do the very uncomfortable work of self discovery and integration, this is required reading.

Deep work on the shadow

This is not a book to listen to while commuting or for leisure. It is a deep book working on the darkest sides of our being.
Listen to it slowly, in small segments
Do the meditations and work prescribed
Keep a pen and paper for taking notes

By doing so you will cultivate the wisdom and enlightened guidance in the book. Otherwise you will get bored and drift off track, and you will have no idea of what is going on.

Thank you Robert
This was enlightening

Fantastic - highly recommended

Just what I was looking for! A wonderfully organized series of guided shadow meditations and exercises, interspersed with genuinely useful theory and concepts - all from a man who is really walking the talk himself, and has been doing so for decades. Thanks very much Robert, this has helped me very deeply.

THIS IS AN ACTUAL WALKTHROUGH BOOK.DONT RUSH IT!

What made the experience of listening to Knowing Your Shadow the most enjoyable?

im seeing people complaining about the pauses that this audio comes with and i still bought it as soon as i realized this is a work book then it all made sense, as you're listening the author talks about exercises that you can do in the moment, he guides you to get inside your subconscious which is where all shadow work needs to be done. so make sure you take this book slow and follow the author as he guides you.

Interesting, helpful but at times lengthy

I could not read the book in one go. It was interesting to try and do all the meditations, some of which I found very inspiring. Several times I lost interest and had to make myself pick up the book again to continue reading. Now that I am done I have the feeling, I have to start all over again... I guess it is a process...
