WHOLENESS + MULTI-PATH INTEGRATION:
As we explore sessions into one-on-one assisted self-discovery, a deep awareness of all the parts of us and paradigms within us comes online. We experience transformations and synchronicities. We experience this for ourselves. Our curiosity comes online. Our life transforms when we begin to integrate the parts, survival strategies, paradigms, and beliefs inside of us that are at odds. Each deep authentic step is important.
As we become more curious of all that is happening inside of us, a powerful intention is to open up to resources that resonate with a paradigm of wholeness or embracing a multi-path development: wholeness + integration. ‘Wholeness’ and ‘multi-path integration’ means there’s an emphasis on embodiment - which means maturely working with our core emotions, relationships, survival strategies, and authentic somatic experience so that a new reality can integrate at the level of soma, living practice, relationships, work, and our life. Wholeness and the emphasis on integral embodiment can serve as a guiding ethos, as a litmus test of what kinds of resources and experiences we curate in our life.
A Few Words + Thoughts to Support the Journey
Let’s explore the intention of wholeness a bit, and different ways to support embodying it more and more. It essentially means that we hold open a multi-path growth mindset, a curiousity to learn, discover and uncover the paths of being that most nourish the core of our daily life, relationships, and work. The sessions I offer are a very deep pathway into this embodiment. One-one-one assisted self-discovery sessions are relational, somatic, and allow the deepest layers + patterns to be explored and healed and liberated directly, with alot of safety and warmth. These sessions opens a portal to the curiosity and learning process around total integration. How do we support this journey? It helps to have continued resources and frameworks to begin to embody and work with: courses, communities, sessions, and approaches. Ideally from people who already integrate + synthesize MANY different aspects: relational, vocational, emotional, psychological, physical, spiritual, etc.
We can use the 5 quadrants (shared about in another post) and ask the question: What domains of development are most needed right now? Let our intuition guide us. Maybe it’s relational skills (attachment theory, NVC, Personality Patterns, Drama Triangle) or emotional healing (EFT, express and release) or maybe a regular meditation practice - ideally a more integral relationally-aware meditative tradition. Maybe it’s none of the above, and something else comes. Maybe we get a calling to make a new friendship with a certain person and it’s coming from a sense of our capacity to grow from the connection.
Maybe we feel called to read a survival strategies book like, for example, the 5 Personality Patterns by Steven Kessler - getting two copies, one for us and one for our partner or family member. Then talk about and laugh about all the insights. Maybe we feel called to have a couple friends all get a 14-day free trial at OneCommune at the same time and take Marianne Williamson’s ‘Relationship’ course or take the first 14 days of ‘Light Watkin’s 21-Day Meditation Challenge.’ Haha! To integrate our insights and keep track of them over time, it can help to take up a journaling practice. I journal insights daily in EverNote on my phone. The idea of ‘multi-path integration’ is like a guiding star, an intention to be curious in the growth journey, to embrace the full range of what’s inside and outside of us, and help it to all be held, balanced, and rhythmically experienced in greater harmony and wisdom. Maybe we feel called to write something like this intention: ‘I fully call in the journey of integration + wholeness + embodiment in my life, in all ways. Please reveal the most supportive path forward and the resources. Please guide me to unravel any key patterns or obstacles with utter clarity. Please bring whatever insights, lessons, people, teachings, guides or resources I need for that healing journey, and let the signs be absolutely clear for me so I can follow it.’ on a small piece of paper, put a tealight candle on it, and light it everyday. This is powerful psycho-magic to initiate this process within us. As the old dies in us, new orders emerge. As we embrace and transfigure our core survival wounds, it deepens our roots and, in turn, our branches are able to reach higher.
Life becomes a more and more living rite of passage, guided by the intention for wholeness, embodiment, and multi-path integration, with the support of our resources, community, and insights. It can be challenging at times but also generous, celebratory, and abundant as well. This intention, if placed at the center of our wheel of life, becomes an tremendously inspiring way to live, work, heal, love, and discover!
One of the powerful aspects of growth to integrate is paying attention to how to live + navigate from prayer, intention, and vibrational principles as well as tracking the way this actually works. When we begin to practice the toolsets around intentions + prayer, we are able to begin to track a real relationship with higher resources: responses, karmic movements, and synchronicities. We gain access to an enlivened field where intuitions guide us, where non-linear intelligence provides us with deeply practical support.
Getting familiar with many aspects of total integration, we are able to get good at reading ourselves, our relationships, and our environment with greater clarity and intuition - and use this context to take an outer-inner journey of ‘in tandem’ development.
