Hello self-loathing, my old friend – Elisabeth Svanholmer

Hello Self-loathing, my old friend…

Click on the link above to visit Elisabeth’s website – http://www.livinglifegently.live – to read this post. The writer experiences regular turns of this wheel herself, and so do most of those she works with. Elisabeth’s perspective feels interesting and helpful. From where we are looking, every aspect of our being has meaning and purpose – and brings light and shadow. The more of ourselves we are able to encounter and include, the more deeply and richly we tend to inhabit ourselves and our lives – and that brings personal, relational and social benefit. As Carl Jung put it:-

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.’
