Transformation

The most wonderful thing of all that is in man is his heart; for it orders his whole being.

ceramic sculpture, 35 cm high, 30 cm diameter

This sculpture symbolises what I have learned in meditation.

The most beautiful experience is when you realise that your own inner shadow (be it sadness, anger, fear, or any other inner shadow) is in reality only your own inner child longing for recognition, light and love. If you allow yourself to receive all this in meditation, then the shadow part is transformed and reintegrated, bringing it back into the light. Then you no longer need to unconsciously fight against this split-off shadow part – it is now part of you again and lets you shine in all your greatness.
