During an expanded state experience, especially an intensive retreat, it is easy to feel that all our questions have been answered, that the healing has completed. To this day it still happens to me, this "honeymoon phase". These incredible moments of clarity and connection feel unshakable as if they will integrate immediately and lasting change has occurred. While this can be true, it often takes quite a lot of intention to change our patterns and our lives once we are faced with the realities once again. Because of this honeymoon phase many people feel that the integration piece can be skipped. Trust me, it cannot. 

Long before I became an integration guide, sharing my passion of the necessity for it was a foundational piece of how I held space. Not everyone needs another to walk with them in the process. Some can implement heightened awareness and impact change all on their own…and most of us need support, someone to ask the right questions to inspire reflection. I certainly have needed this type of support, and still do at times.. It is beautiful to share our truths, our vulnerabilities and our humanity with someone, especially an unbiased and honest ally who can allow you to come just as you are.
