Episode 12: Light Within the Shadows - The Inner and Out Spectrum


Listen Later

In this episode Alan and Michelle begin discussing this month’s topic the “Light Within the Shadows…”

As we venture through life, we often encounter both light and dark moments. These seemingly opposite forces actually work together in harmony, each providing their unique gifts and lessons. When we embrace both light and dark, we discover the balance and growth they BOTH bring to our lives. 🌓✨

“God is an infinite Presence and an indwelling reality. The silent whisperings of this inner Presence come to each as a divine revelation, an inner communion of the individual spirit with the Over-Soul …” Ernest Holmes, This Thing Called Life (p. 108).

Some Points Discussed During Podcast:

  • What do we mean by shadows?
  • What causes us to avoid our shadows? What does avoiding it look and feel?
  • Discussion around loneliness and importance of connection/community. (Link about advisory from US Surgeon General)
  • Light and dark are two sides of the same coin. They are both necessary for a balanced and complete life.
  • Michelle reads: Never Again! - A declaration of self-empowerment. (Get your copy.)

“In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.” Howard Thurman (reference unknown).
