Memorable Quotes: "The more we come into the right relationship with our sexuality, shadow, let's be very clear, shadow does not mean negative. Shadow does not mean bad. Shadow simply means I am not aware of what is there. And the more that we bring conscious awareness to what may be there, the more that we develop a relationship with these parts of us that might be carrying shame or might be carrying fear."
