All of us have a shadow-self - the unconscious side of your personality that contains all the parts of yourself that you don't want to admit to having like anger, greed, envy and many others. Over the past decade, shadow work has become a popular way to heal the repressed part of our being.
My guest today, Indra Singh, is well-versed in this modality and she uses unique tools such as flower essences and plant medicine in her practice. She's an intuitive guide for those that are ready to face their shadow, embrace their own wild inner guru and live an authentic life. She is the creator of the international flower elixir brand ‘Silent Moon Imaginarium’ and is on a mission to spread awareness of ‘The Power of the Flower’ and vibrational medicine to the masses.
During our conversation, Indra and I discuss how we can gain personal power by facing our shadow. She recommends healing practices, including the use of flower essences, that we can incorporate into our lives to create a state of balance, joy and peace.
