Integration

Integration in a spiritual awakening is a process in which energy begins to settle, shift, and integrate within the human energy system. After a significant period of excavation, processing, and shedding work, energy will now need a period of time to re-integrate and re-allign with everything. During a cycle of integration, one can feel like they no longer have a self or identity. They may feel they are in an in-between space of existence. A space of nothingness, stillness, nonaction. This period of space and time can seem as if nothing is happening at the surface, but a lot is happening below the surface.

Integration is a significant period of rest and reflection in between other phases of transformation work. It typically comes after a cycle of shedding or any significant or intense experience, in which one must ‘integrate’, process, and reflect upon everything that has just happened. It can seem like nothing is happening on the surface, but actually, a lot is shifting, updating and aligning beneath the surface. Integration can sometimes feel incredibly boring or strange, or even frustrating if impatient and relatively new to the process, as we are so conditioned to constantly do and take action. Especially after a period of intense change in one’s life, it can feel even anticlimatic, as if we’re expecting immediate transformative results to occur in our lives. It may seem as if nothing is happening, but this period of nothingness is essential to sit with to allow the process to effectively unfold. It represents the final phases of clearing of space as energies are releasing, shifting, and integrating. The whole being is in the process of cleaning, regenerating, and changing, so it is vitallly important that the individual do absolutely nothing and create plenty of space and time to sit in it as long as necessary. Avoid the urge to do, act, or accumulate additional energies. Exercising and learning patience is key here, and will only help you exercise this necessary muscle in life.

The following outlines a brief summary of my earliest integration cycle in the beginning phases of my spiritual awakening process.

My first integration cycle came after an intense period of excavation work, processing, shedding, and energy reconnection. With it, came life changes that forced me to let go of everything. My first integration period was ultimately forced upon me via an accident, and a series of ascension sickness. This forced me to sit in space, silence, and stillness. I had to sit in the empty space and simply do nothing, as everything else was being updated. Like a really long software update on your phone, where you can’t use it or do anything. My whole human system was undergoing a massive update, and my body was shedding, purging, and undergoing an energetic upgrade. But also in this period of time, I was gifted with the space to rest and regenerate. Space to continue surfacing and releasing remaining programming and patterns. Space to just be and practice patience and acceptance. Space to contemplate what I actually desired moving forward. If I had mindlessly pushed forward to fill the space, I probably would have unconsciously filled it with the same junk. I was being gifted with space and time to re-evaluate, consider all of the possibilities, align with what I want, and to be more intuitive, conscious, and intentional in the process moving forward.
