An Integrated Life

What is an integrated life anyway?

Well it's all about you and your innate gifts, attributes and qualities that are already inside you yet mostly hiddden. We are all born with unique wisdom, personal giftedness and creative abilities, but many of us are beaten down by the demands of life, work and relationship not to mention that inner voice that wants to keep us small and limited. I have one of those, it tries to keep me quiet, hidden and shy. My little voice has a lot of energy, the kind of energy that can throw an invisible cloak over me, and whisper,things like "its better under here, no one can see you, you can't fail or say the wrong thing if you stay in here with me, I'll protect you, yes I will."  

Living an integrative life requires that we approach life through conscious awareness. Awareness of the major commitments we make in our lifetime, these can be understood as our commitments to work and play; our relationship to our spouse or lover, family, friends etc. and our relationship with ourselves, our deeper nature, our uneexplored intelligence .
