The shadow is made up of all that we hide from others: our shame, our fears and our wounds, but also our divine light, our blinding beauty and our hidden talents. The shadow is a huge source of benevolent power and creativity, but until we bring it into the light this power will remain untapped and our full potential unreached.In this transformative book, lucid dreaming teacher Charlie Morley guides you into the dazzling darkness of the shadow and shows you how to unlock the inner gold within. Using ancient methods from Tibetan Buddhism alongside contemporary techniques and Western psychology, he reveals how to use lucid dreaming, meditation, shamanic mask work, creative writing and spiritual practice to help you to befriend your shadow with loving kindness, heal your mind and open your heart to your highest potential. This book reveals: *What the shadow is, and how we create and project it *The different types of shadow, including the golden shadow, the ancestral shadow and the sexual shadow *Exercises, visualizations and meditations to connect deeply with and transform your shadows *The life-changing benefits of shadow integration, including increased energy, authenticity and spiritual growth *How to lucid dream and lucidly call forth your golden shadow and embrace it with love.Through over 30 practical exercises, this book will take you on a life-changing journey into the heart of spiritual transformation. The light you'll find there is brighter than you could ever imagine.

'With great lucidity, Charlie Morley show us how, instead of hiding from our shadow, rejecting it or indulging it, we can in fact integrate it so that we achieve much greater wholeness and personal freedom. I learned so much from this book and know I will return to it time and time again.'

'To dare to go into the dark I need a guide I know I can trust. Charlie Morley is that guide. What I love most about this wonderful book is Charlie's courage in authentically sharing his own shadow with me. Inspired by his enthusiasm for transformation and his willingness to be vulnerable, I feel ready for my own journey of discovery, going into the dark to find the light.'
Tim Freke, author of Lucid Living and Soul Story
'Charlie Morley has written a fine book that brings a fresh and modern approach to working with the shadow. He has created a pathway to integrate the shadow in a down-to-earth and yet inspiring way, led by his own walking-his-talk approach to life. Charlie is the real deal. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.'

'I have always been fascinated by what the ancient Mexicans named the Cave: the place where our ancestral patterns, instincts, personal story and highest potential reside. This book has offered me new ways to work with my own Cave in order to be a better person. I really believe that the practices in this book could be life changing for many people.'
Sergio Magana, author of Caves of Power and The Toltec Secret
'Morley surpasses discussion of dream yoga by inviting the inspired reader into the experience itself. To understand the pages ahead is to quicken the evolution of one's conscious awakening.'
Lama Choyin Rangdrol, author of Black Buddha
