Healing is Integration

The “unhealed” aka unintegrated parts of me recognize the healed/integrated parts of me as the person I have to hold back to “protect” me from the world. 

She casts paralyzing effects and coolness into my heart and my mind.

She makes it slow to think, slow to respond, slow to feel anything. 

She has a hard time recognizing how big we really are because she’s so focused on minimizing and hiding ourselves. 

The healed/integrated parts of me recognize the unhealed/unintegrated parts of me as the person I need to bring home and show them that it’s okay to move forward. She is the seer of the things. She guides the fear out by illuminating the truth of the things (and not being offended by it). There is no need to attach ourselves to the experience of how we feel because it isn’t meant for us to be changed by or influenced in our sight in spite of it but rather pivot in the direction towards our truth because of it. She bears a warmth that can be hot depending on how you hold her. She speaks in perspective not in belief. She speaks to open your mind not to insult you. But again, that’s all in how you hold her. 

Seeing how these 2 states of being weave and dancing with each other shows me just how much power I have over how I perceive my life experience. How things affect me is all up to who I allow to guide me through these situations.
