Testing everything against your own experience. Returning to essentials again and again, and maintaining a sense of the relative importance of things. Establishing fuller, richer, and more varied connections between your deepest self and the world. Integrating Not separate from Centering and Grounding, but with a different emphasis. Integrating is the process of assimilating experience into the self and interrelating experiences.
Dreams perform a vital integrative function in life, as do feeling and creative work.
In life, there are no separable categories. Integrated knowledge is grounded in each person's body, feelings, values, and needs. Analysis and rationality can be important steps in integrating, as long as they are not treated as ends in themselves. Creating Creating takes place at a level of living at which life is continuously created, thought, felt, renewed. Creation is not a particular activity, but a way of living, a way of being and doing such that your basic center is expressed in all things possible, your needs met through a continuous contact with self and world, and your life renewed through a constant testing and remaking of personality, habit, tradition, society, and relationships.
