Ruediger Dahlke - A lélek árnyai - Kibékülés titkos énünkkel

This book by Ruediger Dahlke, published in 2013 by Bioenergetic Kiadó, explores the shadow, the part of our personality we are least willing to recognise. Drawing on Carl Jung's concept, it describes the shadow as the unconscious: the traits and feelings we prefer not to identify with, yet need to accept in order to become whole.

Rather than a conventional read, the book is presented as a journey through the realm of shadows, interspersed with exercises to work through along the way. Working with the shadow aims at greater awareness, which the author describes as a form of light therapy. Readers who practise the shadow work presented here can expect to become more open, friendlier and more patient, both with themselves and with others.

The explanations are sometimes uncomfortable, but they show clearly how to reconcile oneself with one's own dark side.
