This track is an invitation to explore the beauty of the present moment.

Join me on a journey towards the peace of the present moment and embrace the beauty that is all around us.
Hunting My Own Shadow - A Story Of Transformation | Ep 236
This is the story of a dark night of the soul, of traversing the depths of despair, and of rebirth.
It is the story of transformation from a shadow version of myself into my embodied fullness.
It is the story of reintegration with my body after years of trauma, and of letting go of old wounds and identities that no longer serve me.
It is a story of reframing my inner world, from victim hood into strength.
It is a story of how I am now hunting my own shadow.

It is impossible to judge people objectively - your basis for forming an opinion is a function of the unique circumstances of your life (location, time, genetics, environment etc), thus your conclusions are dependent on factors external to you.
