About this episode

Do you feel like there's a part of you you try to hide from everyone—even yourself? Learning to love that part of yourself is essential for self-forgiveness, self-acceptance, and emotional healing. And it has a name: shadow work. 

Balance meditation expert Ofosu discusses his experience with shadow work and how you can start to do this shadow work yourself. He also shares why self-forgiveness is necessary for self-compassion. 

Listen to Ofosu’s new album “AMIDA,” an exploration of self-compassion and mindfulness through hip-hop, released under his stage name “Born I.” https://onerpm.link/amida
