Why is it that what a person see's is rarely an accurate reflection of the Truth? Women seem to suffer greatly with this self induced sense of perception, when it comes to the subject of weight, women seem to view themselves as bigger than they actually are, this however seems to be the complete opposite to how men perceive themselves.

This self perception issue is not just related to weight, I have lost count of how many 'victims' of life I have had the pleasure to meet, everyone of these so called 'victims' have one recurring theme, these people will shout from the roof tops till they are blue in the face....it's not me, it's them...I never asked for this to happen!

The vast majority of people have no understanding of basic psychology, how much do you know about your own psychological make-up? Do you know why you get angry? Do you consider your anger as justified? Is it possible that your anger is in reality your own Shadow Projection? The Human Shadow isn't inherently bad, there are alot of positive aspects within the Shadow.

The Shadow is at it's most destructive when you are resting under the illusion that you are never at fault for any situation that you find yourself in. This is called Projection, you are basically externalizing everything that you feel; for example if you are feeling Angry you will Project that feeling onto an external screen (person). That way you can justify never excepting your anger as part of who you are, you have no need because your not angry it's them!

Try this little exercise: next time you feel that you are projecting, take a moment to focus on your Breath. This is a very simple exercise, but it is also very effective when performed correctly. This exercise performs two functions, first it calms you down and second it makes you conscious of the current situation. Once you have calmed down, you can then evaluate the current situation and make the relevant rational choice/s. When you are conscious of the Present moment there is no Stress, because you are making the conscious choice of ether accepting the current situation or changing it.

Once you have spent some time focusing on your Breath you will learn to understand and recognize your own Shadow before you Project it onto another person. I will be explaining more about the power of the breath in future articles and writings.
