The Shadow Effect is a movie creation from Debbie Ford released in 2009.
Along similar lines to the movie The Secret, the movie has known and
lesser know individuals speaking about the shadow.
As with any piece of work; a book, movie, essay or poem, it speaks to
you where you are at in your understanding.
For someone new to understanding the shadow it will provide some
curiosity and intrigue to know more about this important aspect of
our-selves.
It does a great job at explaining how the shadow is formed, why the
shadow is formed and the resulting effect the shadow has on our lives
as we mature.
With some clear examples of well-known and lesser well-known stories of
famous and supposedly respected figures in our society acting out their
shadow selves - including Michael Jackson - you get to see just what
effect the shadow has on our lives.
The Shadow Effect delves deep enough for an audience new to the work
and certainly will provide most people with some new awareness of why
they behave the way they do and what they can do about it.
However, for me the movie doesn't go into any techniques with which to
own and embrace the shadow.
Time and time again the viewer is told how the shadow-self behaves, how
to spot it in your own experience but throughout the whole movie I was
left hanging for some explanation of specific techniques to own the
shadow.
This is not so much for my benefit but I wonder how viewers new to this
work would leave the movie wondering how to go about this work.
I guess it is an age old marketing technique to let people know they
have a problem and then provide the solution. I don't begrudge Debbie
Ford this and I have no idea whether it was planned that way or not,
however there were many clips of her running her workshop so perhaps
there was a subtle advertisement in there.
Nevertheless I applaud Debbie for making this movie in an attempt to
broaden awareness of the shadow.
It is important and life changing work. Wherever you are in your
awareness this movie will open up some level of awareness.
If you have even a slight interest in personal responsibility for your
experience of yourself and life, this movie The Shadow Effect will help.
Watching the movie a few times combined with reading this website and
other resources will have your shadow-self owned and your self-esteem
changing quickly.
