Everything you want: all the riches of the world, the depth, beauty, the
fun.
Everything you want is in the underworld of your psyche.
This is where our capacity to experience lives.
Yet, most of us barely know what is happening in our own mind and are at
least a little terrified of who we might really be.
Just as our wishes and dreams live in the underworld of our psyche, so do
our worst fears, the things we desperately want to run from. This is the
treasure.
Our traumas, patterns, addictions, seedy desires, and repressed memories
once welcomed and transformed by the light of our consciousness give us our
greatest power, creativity, and magnetism.
This is your guidebook to your underworld that you might claim everything
that you are.

Fracture to Integration in the Psyche
It is easiest to understand this process of fracturing and integrating if we start by examining how integration happens so beautifully on its own, without our conscious involvement or effort. Consider for yourself a moment of challenge in your life that you now feel nothing but gratitude for. Look for an experience that tested you, something you felt was beyond your capacity or safety, but now it is free of fear or resentment when you think of it. Bring this experience up in your mind as we move through the stages of integration below.
The psyche goes through the following stages when separating and unifying to become more:
- Survival Response
- Surrender
- Rebirth
- Integration
Each of these stages is like an initiation to a new level of being. It could be that you went through all of this in minutes, or it could be that it took years to transition from stage to stage. In the following pages, I will outline each stage in more detail. To illustrate it more tangibly, I’ll use an example of how my own psyche and system naturally integrated an important experience in my own life: the birth of my children
