Specializing in shadow work, Melanie Ryan teaches meditation as a way to cut through self-deceptions and see the totality of who you are. In The Golden Shadow Method, meditation is used as a way to awaken consciousness and overcome obstacles of negative thought patterns, false beliefs and misperceptions. Meditation practice helps to develop self-awareness, clarity, mental strength and stability. Meditation is a practice that helps us become a spiritual warrior; a person who is brave, vulnerable, gentle and tender-hearted.
