The Importance of Integration.

INTEGRATION 😎

We are all integrative mini universes in our own right…

The way we craft and blend a “now” state from all that we have experienced and been through. Taking lived experience and reflecting on it we can then choose a better response to situations in our lives.

The way we eat, breathe + consume. Ingesting something and breaking it down into component parts to build new structures (physically, mentally & emotionally) within us

Or the way we “personally” craft and blend the different cosmic and planetary energies into our being, syphoning down different elements of archetypal consciousness into the container of our bodies - the universe knowing itself through our lived bodily experience.

Even though you may feel like you're not doing much sometimes - believe me you are!

For the most part, the wisdom that runs on “auto-pilot” goes unnoticed, it is integrated into the fabric of your being and thus unfolds with ease.

However what happens when we find patterning, disease or pain that doesn’t unfold with ease?

Well, personally and in my therapeutic role it is apparent to me that it’s a matter of allowing yourself to catch up with your dream.

💤💤💤

Stick with me here…

What do most people want...happiness, peace, calm, excitement etc…

The body knows this, the mind knows, the soul knows this and the ego...well for the most part thanks to our cultural upbringing is trying to protect us from all manner of pain, disappointment and bad memories when it comes to manifesting our lived dream experience.

We all too often, find ourselves one step behind with a heaviness as if we feel we are “failing”.

There is a point beyond all what you see here that is the decision maker. The quiet voice inside. The voice, the guidance, the love that guides us along the breadcrumb trail of our dreams.

Our lives, our habits, our thought structures, our bodies progressively respond to the summative dream of all our experience - in this life and others.

In short - we are the ever changing and morphing soil for the seeds of our dreams,

And different seeds need different soil

So in terms of integration with energy work, counselling, body therapy…..

Some of the turbulence we feel after a “session” or even our own personal realisations and life events that come out of left field (2020 anyone???) is because we are taking time to get up to speed, to embody our dreams.

It takes time for things to settle from the front of the house arena of our conscious and daily activities to sift and settle into our subconscious, restructuring as it layers down…making more aligned habits and practices instinctual.

It also works the other way up...a deep meditation, healing, body release allow parts of our being to bubble up, to be expressed, to be lived and experienced and FELT.

So integration in this way is the process of allowing the “glitches” to be what they are...you’ve dreamt of a more integrated, balanced and resonant way of being and it’s a fantastic opportunity to do this in a healing session - it feels good.

The body and mind recognise it feels good, that it is safe and thus all manor of creepy crawlies come out from the woodwork. And that’s ok.

Awareness of your own anxiety might heighten after a meditation coaching session. You might finally be able to “feel” how much your back is hurting after a massage.

Your feeling how you feel again and your caring about it - aware you have a choice.

As those parts of your being align, and sometimes it’s uncomfortable….

Gently remember the long game, get out of the minutiae of your healing just a little bit, interfere less and practice being ok with what comes up.

They are parts of you that want to come home, parts of you that feel safe to align with your dream and collectively we are all doing this right now as we are aware of just how great things are going to be.

I always think of it as having more dream juice to work with, those reconnections in our being feel so good and it’s you harmonising with you”

We have chosen to embody the dream, the energy, the soul and even though it might not feel like it sometimes...you are doing the work by feeling it.

We have to integrate so much right now, reflected in both the astrology of these times and the craziness of world events.

The whole reason it’s changing, the whole reason it’s expanding is because we are.

You are a mini universe my friend and take it from me…

You're doing alright 👌
