Ford explains how individuals hide, deny, and reject their Dark sides--and how, through stories and exercises, they can reconcile these impulses, finding the gifts they offer and Reclaiming our wholeness once again.
The very impulses we most fear may be the key to what is lacking in our lives..
This is for fans of Marianne Williamson, Neale Donald Walsch, and Deepak Chopra.
Through the stories and exercises in The Dark Side of the Light Chasers , Debbie Ford shows us not only how to recognize our hidden emotions, but also how to find the gifts they offer us.
But most important, we deny ourselves the Power and freedom of living authentically.
When we are unable to reconcile similar impulses in ourselves, Ford explains, we waste our own energy judging others instead of empathizing.
We find ourselves disproportionately frustrated and angry at the selfishness of friends, the laziness of colleagues, the arrogance of siblings.
She shows us the effects of living in the dark, of keeping all our supposedly unsavory impulses under wraps.
It is to these feelings that Ford turns our attention, these parts of our selves that don\'t fit the personae we have created for the rest of the world.
So when certain impulses arise, we deny them instead of confronting them, giving them a healthy voice, then letting them go.
But, Ford points out, our families and our society send us strong messages about which ones are good and bad.
We are born with the ability to express this entire spectrum of characteristics.
Debbie Ford believes that we each hold within us a trace of every human characteristic that exists, the capacity for every human emotion.
