Shadow Work: Unlocking the Hidden Light

A Journey Through Darkness, Guided by Meta Pets, to Remember Who You Truly Are

For years, I’ve been asking a simple yet profound question: Why do we keep repeating the same emotional patterns, even when we consciously want to change?

As a coach, hypnotherapist, and founder of the World Happiness Foundation, I’ve seen the same root cause again and again: We haven’t made peace with the parts of ourselves we’ve hidden, repressed, or denied.

That’s why I wrote my new eBook: Shadow Work: Unlocking the Hidden Light

This is more than a book. It’s an invitation—a personal, practical, and compassionate guide—to help you recognize and integrate your shadow. And, as I share in its pages, it’s also a journey I’ve walked myself, time and time again.

What Is Shadow Work?

Shadow Work is the process of bringing to light the unconscious beliefs, emotions, memories, and identities we’ve buried—often to survive, to belong, or to feel safe.

These parts of us don’t disappear. They whisper through our triggers. They act out in our relationships. They shape our inner dialogue in ways that keep us small, disconnected, or afraid.

But here’s the secret I want you to know: Your shadow is not the enemy. It is a doorway. A sacred invitation to remember the wholeness you already are.

The Role of Meta Pets in Shadow Integration

In this eBook, I also introduce a unique and powerful system I’ve developed called Meta Pets. Inspired by deep trance work, inner child healing, and archetypal psychology, Meta Pets are symbolic cosmic animals that help you visualize, befriend, and transform aspects of your subconscious.

Each Meta Pet is a companion representing a trio:

• Shadow – a distorted or repressed part of you
• Gift – the superpower hidden within that shadow
• Essence – your soul’s true nature expressed through light and love

Through guided practices, I show you how to work with your Meta Pet—whether in visualization, journaling, or meditation—so that you’re not just thinking about your shadow, but actively engaging with it, dialoguing with it, and integrating it into your being.

This playful yet profound system brings softness to deep work. It helps bypass resistance. And it reconnects us to something magical: our own innocence, imagination, and capacity to love what we once feared.

Inside the eBook: A Glimpse Into the Journey

Here’s what you’ll discover when you download the book:

1. What the Shadow Really Is—and Isn’t

We explore the roots of the shadow in childhood, family dynamics, and cultural conditioning. You’ll identify the beliefs, behaviors, and emotions that make up your unique shadow and learn how they’ve protected you—until now.

2. Rewriting the Inner Narrative

Through guided reflections, NLP principles, and trance-based questions, I help you uncover the subconscious patterns that keep you stuck—and show you how to rewrite the story with compassion.

3. Dialoguing with Your Meta Pet

You’ll learn how to call in your Meta Pet, explore its three dimensions (shadow, gift, essence), and create a healing dialogue using Gestalt and inner child techniques. It’s one of the most tender and transformational parts of the journey.

4. Embracing the Whole Self

Shadow work is not about fixing what’s broken. It’s about remembering what’s true. As you integrate these parts of yourself, you’ll feel more grounded, creative, empowered, and able to love—all of you.

Who Is This For?

I created this eBook for:

• Anyone tired of repeating emotional cycles that don’t make sense
• Coaches, therapists, and healing practitioners looking to deepen their work
• Seekers on a spiritual path who want to embody—not bypass—their humanity
• And all of us who know, deep down, that healing begins within

Why I Wrote This Book

I’ve witnessed the power of shadow work to heal trauma, transform relationships, and reignite purpose. I’ve seen it in my own life and in the lives of those I guide through hypnosis, breathwork, and emotional integration.

But I also know it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. To avoid the shadow because it’s too painful or confusing.

That’s why I wanted to offer something simple, gentle, and effective—something that brings light, creativity, and soul into the process.

That’s the heart of this eBook. And that’s the heart of the Meta Pets system.

Your Invitation

If you’re ready to stop running from your pain and start listening to what it’s trying to tell you… If you want a guide that walks with you, not ahead of you… If you’re curious to meet your inner animals and explore the shadows they carry…

Then I invite you to begin this journey today.
