Shadow to Self with Acharya Shunya

Positive Thinking cannot solve all your problems. (Part 1)


Listen Later

In this episode, Shunya reminds us of who we are. She debunks the myth that positive thinking fixes all problems. She provides us with an alternative - Truth thoughts. She guides us towards relaxing into the "isness" of what is. In this acceptance lies reality. She spotlights the inner workings of the shadow, and how it focuses upon negative thoughts and magnification. On the other extreme, the shadow can justify and be okay with abuse, if one is showered with positive gifts. She invites us to see things as they are, as that leads us to the truth. She advises us to meditate and investigate the nature of our thoughts to go beyond the shadow and bring forth the self. Read transcript.
