Ken Wilbur on the Shadow Self and Coming into the NOW

I am working with Ken Wilbur's "Shadow Self" practice. In essence, it is meant to help bring you into the present moment without projections from the past shaping how you react to life. Throughout my life I have projected things onto other people and they have projected their baggage onto me as well. None of this makes up who we are in this moment. Projections cloud many Beautiful experiences. Ultimately, when we project, we bring ourselves out of the present moment.

In sum, the "Shadow Self" practice is to identify a monstrous or positive image, dream, or person and ask: "What do you want?" Then, answer the question regarding the desire. Next, take ownership over this desire and befriend and own it.

Feel free to watch and learn.
