The shadow is defined as the parts of yourself that are hidden away within your unconscious. They may be "positive" or "negative." The shadow is composed of all of the things about ourselves that we have repressed, forgotten or denied. According to psychologist Carl Jung, you must get in touch with your shadow before you can truly get in touch with your true self. He called the initial step of this journey "The First Act of Courage." And the first thing that is necessary is simply to acknowledge that your shadow exists
Numerologists and Astrologers focus on ways in which you can utilize the readings and charts that they can provide to help you to get to know yourself and develop your true potential. Working with your shadow is a way to develop and discover your power and full potential. In Numerology, many of your personal numbers have a "balanced" side, and an "unbalanced" side. Accepting all aspects of your personality as real is an important first step in living consciously and working with your shadow. Accepting and admitting that you do possess certain qualities or characteristics, rather than dismissing them or sweeping them under the rug, is a healthy, although sometimes difficult, part of the process.
