Carl Jung said, ‘90 percent of the shadow is pure gold’ and through The Golden Shadow Method, Melanie Ryan shows us not only how to find that gold but also how to reclaim the power it contains.” Charlie Morley, Best-selling Hay House author of Dreaming Through Darkness “The idea of a golden essence, hidden in plain sight, but often unseen or unacknowledged, is common to many authentic spiritual traditions. In the Buddhist tradition, this golden essence is referred to as Buddha nature – a fundamentally uncorrupted core of sanity, decency and brilliance which all human beings can uncover and manifest. Melanie Ryan has crafted her own unique hybrid of several powerful traditions, a revelation of methods that enable us to uncover our Buddha nature – our hidden gold.” David Nichtern, Buddhist Teacher, author of Awakening from the Daydream “”Gold and precious metals are mined from ores – heavy rocks carrying yet hiding the treasures. Melanie Ryan teaches us, our inner gold – our talents, gifts, creativity and many positive and beautiful traits – are also hidden and buried in the dark ores of our psyches. This book is a well-written, loving, and wise guide to integrating our shadow dimensions, positive and negative. Melanie guides us in using time-honored practices to excavate that which is best and most fulfilling in us and shares her journey of discovery – to spirit, self and inner gold.” Edward Tick, Ph.D., Psychotherapist, Board Member of the Jung Association of Western Massachusetts, author of The Practice of Dream Healing “The Shadow is nature. Duality is found everywhere in the Universe – like yin and yang, the shadow is an energetic force of dark and light. Using ancient wisdom, modern psychology and intuition, Melanie Ryan shines light on the golden shadow – our inherent gifts, power and potential just waiting to be activated.” Nana Shuni Giron, Internationally recognized Maya Ajq’ij “”Melanie Ryan is an alchemist, weaving the best threads of Buddhism, shamanism and Jung psychology into a practical guide for personal transformation. This book is full of tools anyone can use, for those who are willing and have the courage to look into their shadow and mine the gold that is found there.”” Brett Bevell, author of Psychic Reiki “”When the Shadow is fully accepted as part of the self, it can become one of our greatest teachers. Melanie Ryan weaves a rich tapestry of techniques that allow the inner journey to the Shadow safe, deeply felt, and profoundly life affirming.”” Kenneth Johnson, author of Jaguar Wisdom ABOUT THE AUTHOR Melanie Ryan is a psychotherapist, Buddhist, shamanic teacher.
