COURSE
Self-Knowledge Through The Law Of The Mirror
With Maria Garcia
The people with whom we relate are bathed in our reflection: of who we are, of our fears, of our weaknesses, of our shadows. These are our teachers, especially when something about them bothers us. Through the Law of the Mirror, we will see our reflection, so that we can heal it. They will be presented to us in different cases. We will detect what situation is reflecting us and we will heal it through practice. Once it is healed and transformed, what the other reflects on us will no longer bother us and, consequently, the same situation will no longer be reflected. To quote Jiddu's phrase: "The only real and lasting relationship we will have throughout our life is the relationship we have with ourselves. The rest of the relationships are nothing more than a game of mirrors and projections". Why do certain people's comments make us uncomfortable? Why does it bother us when a certain person says a single "hello"? Why can't we stand to be contradicted? Why do we judge certain reactions or behaviors of other people? Why do we see our partner so differently than when we first met them, and why is it that what we loved about them now makes us angry? The Law of the Mirror and its mechanism can reveal all these unknowns. The outer world acts as a mirror, reflecting both our light and our shadow, being a portrait of our inner world. What happens in our life is nothing more than a mirror that reflects our heart. This law can give us clues about how to face the difficulties of our existence. If we look at what is happening in our life, we can discover what our heart is feeling right now, which will allow us to find clues that will help us to improve. Thanks to it, we can realize how we feel and we also have the opportunity to change. Applying this law serves you as personal self-knowledge, making conscious the unconscious, discovering and healing your shadow and freeing you from that which is generating suffering. You will move away from the extremes in your life to the center, to the balance where your peace is. Let's look at situations in which the law of the mirror reflects your shadow or something that you have to heal. We will cover some more, but the 4 main ones are: The mirror reflects similarities to you.The mirror reflects the opposite side. The mirror reflects what you do to others. The mirror reflects an idealization. Now, let's begin.

Great course! I loved how each class was a different mirror we were asked to look through. I've done a lot of shadow work, so I am already familiar with many of the concepts. It helped to reinforce what I already know, and deepen this work with useful information I hadn't learned before. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to free themselves from the suffering that comes with avoiding our shadow and projecting it on the world. 💜🙏

It's a good course for the first 8 days. On day 9 she unfortunately descends into the nonsense of "vibrational energies" and "unbalanced frequencies"

Loved the information. Had heard it before but never in a consolidated format. Unfortunately I found her voice somewhat irritating.

Very illuminating. Thank you for sharing this law. It is changing my life. I especially benefitted from learning to look at what comes into my life, be it people, circumstances, ideas or things, with an open heart and mind, as a teacher, and not as an obstacle to what I want when I face opposition in any given situation. Another beautiful lesson learned is that Idealizing people is a destructive force, and I have seen it at work in my life, both on the receiving and the giving end of it. You have brought clarity with your work. I had worked with the Byron Katy method and it is a bit too direct for my sensibilities at this point, but I get the point through your style of teaching. So thank you. Know that you are being used to better the lives of others.

Thank you so much for this wonderful course! It has been so timely for me. As I reflect on the last 2 years of my life, with personal and spiritual growth, this course has encouraged me to look even deeper at the remanence of what was my old self and only highlight where I am leaning towards. Thank you!

The material was good but the intonation was difficult. I listened ti course work before I go to sleep and listen to gentle material but this was pretty intense....at least for me. It may resonate better with others. Thanks
