Integration

When I began to see my life as a journey of healing my perspective changed. I began to see opportunities in all situations and areas. Big shift! I had some wonderful insights recently as I journaled and meditated on the theme of integration.  

When I was working as a mortgage broker I built a bridge between my day job and night! I spent over  20 years in lending.  The last 10 years of that career I studied and learned Reiki, took life coaching classes as well as classes on energy healing, meditation, essential oils and crystals. 

Yes, math and numbers, finances, credit and debts, government regulation, rules and paper were my day job. Which was contrasted by my after work hours by Reiki, meditation, emotional healing, energy clearing, crystals and sound healing. For a long time that is how I saw my two worlds. Separate! My day job; masculine energies and my wanna be day job, embracing the feminine energies of healing.

Then I realized that the ‘institutions’ and industries that needed healing was already in my corner; the masculine world of housing, mortgage lending, banking and finance. Wow, could I add an element of healing into the work I did during the day?

Why, yes!  I transformed my work space with incense, crystals, healing art and music at the mortgage company I worked. I set intentions for my clients and their loans. I did Reiki on my files, sent Reiki to the underwriters, appraisers, Realtors and customers. I looked at my own feelings of anger, resentment, insecurity, scarcity and fears with acknowledgment and healing.  I came to a place of peace with what I was doing during the day, taking delight once again in helping a young couple understand their financing options and getting a loan for their first house, instead of resentment. 

What shift in thinking, and attitude.

Suddenly, I was able to hear a Realtors concern about a closing with new understanding and compassion. I walked thru foreclosed homes with the purpose of healing the wounds of loss, anxiety, embarrassment and failure. I could counsel those with credit problems with greater compassion, understanding, insights and wisdom. I heard the frustration and concerns with greater clarity and offered healing at every opportunity. I embraced the challenges of the industry with new openness. I stopped resisting and found more joy in my day.  I was able to integrate my two worlds, this brought more authenticity to my work and greater satisfaction into my day.

Integrate: to bring different things together, combine one thing with another so they become whole
