Reclaiming your Child Within can bring up anxiety and a fear of not fitting into the ego club of making everyone feel comfortable in their dimness. To find your light, you will need to go back to the places in your life where you experienced trauma or felt self-diminishment, and discover the opposite strengths inherent in each choice point. When we close down, or diminish our light, our love, and our enthusiasm by becoming passive or careful, we limit the good that can come through into this world.
Transpersonal psychologist Chuck Spezzano writes so eloquently about the Golden Shadow which I paraphrase for you here:
"If you have a problem, there is something you could give that would resolve the situation. Any time we experienced trauma, there were soul level gifts that we could have given to prevent it. The trauma was a mistaken choice that led us down the path of the ego...
Most people are frightened of the gift that could have given because it was so magnificent. The gift was big enough to change a family pattern, or significantly help a family member, but it seemed too big. It was so glorious that it would have caused them to stand out too much, and they wouldn't have been able to hide. They thought people would expect them to lead or accomplish other great things."
