Welcome to your free mini-course, Say Hello to Your Shadow: Empowering Yourself Through Choices. My name is Debbie, and I'll be the one guiding you through the process. But first, I want to thank you for making a choice that will lead you to become a more authentic and empowered person.

And now, I want to describe what is contained in the course.

In the first lecture, you'll discover the shadow, where it came from, and why shadow work is essential. Next, you'll be given several real-life examples of situations where the shadow is creating pain or blocking your ability to create a happy life, a life with purpose. See if you identify with any part of these examples.

After you finish the lesson, a downloadable file containing many shadow aspects for your review is provided.

The second lecture contains vital preparation tips for your journey. I highly encourage you investigate several, or more, of them. The more grounded and centered you are, the more you'll be able to take an in-depth look at your shadow and not run from it in fear or denial.

You can print out the Free Resources list with three links for each preparation area: Breathing Techniques, Meditation, Mindfulness, Journaling, and Yoga. There is a total of 15 links from which to choose.

The following module, How the Shadow is Formed, gives you a brief summary of how beliefs are created. There will be a list of sentences for you to fill out spontaneously, without thinking about them. The form is available for you to print out and revisit at a later time.

The mini-course theme is to equip you with a basic foundation of knowledge and tools so you can be prepared to start your way into expressing, embracing, and then integrating your shadow.

There will be a simple quiz to see if you recognize the shadow and its aspects, and can identify some of your own. I recommend you write down any aspects that resonate with you so you can further investigate them.

I also have a special message for you as you complete the course. Here, you'll be able to submit any questions you may have. Thank you for your courage to heal. May others have that same courage to follow.

So let's get started and say hello to your shadow!
