Vipassana meditation is usually translated as “Insight Meditation” because the practice quite naturally triggers off a process of purification that develops progressively through stages of insight knowledge. With each stage, a meditator incrementally gains insight into the Dhamma or the ultimate reality. Thus “Insight Meditation”.

Have you ever been bothered by something to the point that you recoiled with a feeling of “Oh, shit!”? Then as you settle into an acceptance of what bothers you the internal feeling moves into “Oh, ok.” Then as your acceptance stabilizes, hidden insights about yourself bring the feeling of “Oh, wow!”. Then as the process matures you move into the final, and completely natural stage with a profound feeling of “Oh, thank you!”. This is Shadow Work in a nutshell. (more…)
“Shadow” is quite literally the parts of yourself that want to be lived, but isn’t allowed to. And the bad news is that when your shadow continues to be suppressed, exiled, and not allowed, it is mistakenly seen as a curse. On the other hand, when you access, befriend, and heal the parts of you that want to be lived, this integration then becomes the source of your inner light. It becomes your unique gift to the world.
