Beschreibung

We all carry hidden stories—buried emotions, unhealed wounds, and forgotten pieces of ourselves. Shadow work is the practice of bringing those unseen parts into the light, so healing and transformation can begin. But it doesn’t have to be complicated.

Light in the Pages makes shadow work accessible and inspiring for beginners. Through clear guidance and easy-to-follow writing prompts, this book helps you confront limiting beliefs, uncover patterns holding you back, and reconnect with your authentic self. Every page invites honest reflection, self-compassion, and personal growth.

Designed as a hands-on journaling companion, this guide empowers you to process emotions, release inner blocks, and step into your fullest potential. With a warm and uplifting tone, it takes a practice that once felt intimidating and turns it into a powerful, life-changing journey of self-discovery.

Healing begins when you pick up the pen. Start your shadow work journey today.
