Very often we deny the dark side of our personalities, which is understandable to be sure...and, in doing so we deny a foundational aspect of our essential nature that when properly channeled and embraced can create a True balance, the yin to the yang so to speak. In this episode we explore a thought experiment to access both sides for generating new, creative ideas to overcome life challenges.
