COURSE

Shadow Work For Healing & Authenticity

With Saqib Rizvi

Our Shadow is part of our personality that we might not have embraced yet, because most of us don't even know it exists. But this subconscious Shadow is, in many ways, like our own physical shadow. It is always there with us but only becomes visible when there is light. In this course, Saqib will guide you to the depths of your Shadow so that you can heal, embrace, and then integrate it. We can experience a strong sense of self-worth only when we integrate our Shadow. Your commitment to do this work can become a significant and powerful step towards your awakening!

Lesson 1

The Unconscious Realms

The unconscious mind is the realm where the "shadow" resides. Before we begin to understand what the shadow is, it is essential to explore what Carl Jung called the realm of the unconscious. Our unconscious mind holds so much of our reality that it almost drives our entire lives! And what's fascinating is that we are totally unaware of these factors that decide why we do what we do. In this first lesson, we will explore an important aspect of our social conditioning, and then we will meditate on it. This aspect is known as Core Beliefs, and it is what forms the Shadow.

Lesson 2

Meeting The Shadow

In this session, you'll meet your Shadow. We'll first learn how the shadow forms, and then you'll see your own shadow in meditation. Our childhood has a significant impact on the formation of our shadows. What happened in your childhood that led to the formation of yours? We will also explore some of the statements made by our parents, teachers, relatives, schoolmates, etc., that contribute to the shadow's formation. By the end of this session, you'll gain more clarity on what your shadow is.

Lesson 3

Shadow Persona - Concept

Persona is the mask that we all wear when we meet someone. It is the outer personality that we show to the world, and it is essential for us to function in the world. But what is Shadow Persona? It is a deeper layer that you will explore in this session. Saqib will tell you ways in which you can not only get to discover your own Shadow Persona but also how you can embrace and eventually heal it. Are you ready for this discovery?

Lesson 4

Shadow Persona - Meditation

It is now time to come face-to-face with your Shadow Persona through meditation. You'll be surprised to discover how different these three parts of your being are: Your True Self, Persona, and Shadow Persona. This practice has the potential to raise our self-awareness to another level! The more conscious we can become of these different personalities, the more authenticity we can bring to our lives. This authenticity brings our Shadow to the surface, which can eventually be embraced and healed.

Lesson 5

Shadow Projection - Concept

The world around us is the reflection of our consciousness. The more unconscious we remain, the more we lose control over manifesting a joyful life for ourselves. Hence, it is necessary to become conscious of the unconscious to become aware and take control of what we are projecting in the outer world. But the question arises, what is the role of our Shadow in such projections? In this session, we will become aware of our projections. We will also do an interesting activity to figure out our projections.

Lesson 6

Shadow Projection - Meditation

This practice is one of Saqib's favorite meditations. It will take our awareness of our projections to another level. There is a beautiful quote by Rumi: "I am another you, you are another me." This is precisely what we will experience in this meditation. We will see how the people around us are just our reflections, especially those who trigger our emotions. Through this practice, you'll be having a conversation with these people. This conversation will reveal a lot of hidden stuff!

Lesson 7

Shadow Patterns

As the name suggests, a Shadow Pattern is repeated subconscious behavior that we exhibit due to our repressed Shadow. So what is your pattern? Don't worry if you don't know yet. This is precisely what you will figure out in this session. First, you'll learn how the Shadow Patterns form, the different types, and the techniques through which you can heal them. Then, in the second part of the session, you will do a contemplation meditation in which Saqib will be asking you to meditate on a few questions. This practice will bring your shadow patterns to the surface, ready to be healed.

Lesson 8

The Shadow Child

It is time to go back to childhood. The incidents in our childhood when we were judged for certain qualities are the roots of our shadow. But what if we let our consciousness travel back in time and change those situations? Join Saqib in this journey to explore such possibilities! This is the step in this 10-day journey when you will embrace your Shadow. Then, you will see how those judged qualities can be used as your strengths.

Lesson 9

Self-Acceptance

It's time for total self-acceptance! Can you accept yourself as you are? Can you love yourself unconditionally? This is the session where you will realize how your Shadow is a beautiful aspect of your being. You will now start using those strengths of the Shadow constructively. Saqib will guide you through an activity through which you will see how all those repressed qualities could be used to your advantage. Eventually, you will meditate with your Shadow and take your friendship to the next level.

Lesson 10

Individuation & Integration

How beautiful will it be to feel whole and complete in oneself? This can be done through the practice of Individuation. We are socially conditioned to look at this world in a dualistic way. Light and shadow, good and bad, feminine and masculine, and so on. But what if we integrate these seemingly opposites? We will then experience non-duality, also known as Advaita, in the Hindu tradition. This final practice will make you experience a total integration of your Shadow.

Beautiful course ;) I thoroughly enjoyed integrating my shadow and accepting parts of me that were once repressed. It’s taken me over a year to complete this course.. but I always kept coming back. I’m proud I completed something, if it it took way longer than 10 days. I think the initial meeting of shadow was too much for me at first and I needed time to integrate what I saw my shadow to look like. Last year was the first time I sought out and met my shadow. It was intense! And sad.. but I’ve since done lots of shadow work and fully embrace her! The only thing I had trouble with was trying to see myself in someone I disliked… from my PTSD/trauma hyper vigilance perspective, it’s hard to not envision a dangerous person. It took me quite some time to try to switch that mental image to something less scary/harmful. I tried my best to think of someone “annoying but neutrally something less dire/unsafe. It was so difficult that it threw me out of meditation each time and instead of integrating, I just became triggered and it took a long time to come back to baseline. Other than that, a beautiful course :)

Fabulous insight into all the aspects of myself. I loved the writing exercise about the columns of the people I dislike and like and the positive and negative characteristics. It’s all In me and I have accepted that more. Thank you.

An amazing course. Could t recommend more. I learnt so much about myself, but also learned how to catch myself doing things and analyse them in the moment. The exercises were hard, I cried a lot. However, I have healed a lot from this course.

I was actually quite surprised by my reaction on Day 9. While I felt the first 8 days were meaningful, Day 9 brought me to spontaneous tears that were, without question, a healing of wounds carried by my shadow for 6 decades. This course is well worth your time. It is powetful and transformative. Much gratitude!
