Notes on Debbie Ford’s, The Shadow Effect.

This is a very powerful movie.  I recommended it to everyone, especially those interested in transforming their lives.
What are you hiding?
When will you face the truth?
What will be possible when you do?
What do you want others to see about you.  You hide that part of yourself that you do not want others to see.
We repress our “shadow.”
Life has to be in alignment with the Shadow.
The Shadow is created early.
We created shame, that something is wrong with us.
We pretend to not be that which we hate.
We create a mask that attempts to show that we are ok.
We sabotage ourselves.
There is an inner life below the mask.
We feel we can not express our dark side.
Either you are going to use it or it will use you.
Every quality we see in another exists inside us.
We project the shadow onto other.  We do not own them ourselves.
What we can not be with will not let us be.
What we judge in others is merely a disowned part of ourselves.
When you react to a projection you become that projection.
Be with what you resist.
Health and emotions are connected.
Stress is a major factor.
Think and thought are the toxins that hurt us.
Thoughts and emotions affect our bodies.
What am I getting from staying stuck in my life.  What am I avoiding by being stuck?
Create that you are still in charge.
To be authentic is to express the hidden part of yourself.
Face the darkness to find the light.
It is our light and greatness that truly frightens us.
Our treasure is hidden under the shadow.
Forgiveness is the answer to releasing the shadow.
Most people do not want to consider that they even have a shadow.
Shame can devistate our sense of self.
