This is such an important, at least in my opinion, powerful, and very well written and insightful post by my dear friend, Laura Bruno. Laura does a wonderful job at explaining the energetic environment that we as souls are experiencing, and how that equates to the kind of lifetime you are in, this time around.

Some of us are experiencing Integration Lifetimes, which leaves many empowering and creative choices available than mere black and white, or even grey. Others are experiencing more “regular” lifetimes and so things that work for them will not work, and may feel either unsatisfying, or eventually backfire, for anyone living an Integration Lifetime who judges themselves against others not like them.

I got a sweet surprise that she actually included some of my way that I live with and embody shadow in her piece. So you’ll get a glimpse of that in her post.

We are all different and so we will need to choose the path of integration that works for us, without comparing to others. That said, if something you’ve chosen isn’t working, then perhaps you could revisit other options that may be more fitting for you, rather than ones you might have opted for as easier or because others seemed to be having success with it.

I know this is so true for me, as I have no desire to, or can’t engage in, many of the things that I see others around me getting so much out of in their own lives. I know that it is perfect for them, but it doesn’t feel aligned with or right for me and leaves me hugely unsatisfied and gaining nothing from it. That’s why people are surprised to learn that I don’t engage in certain things they would “think” I should be, based on ideas of what people have about a certain way of being. I’ve carved out a way and things that work for me and I’m not afraid to be different since I know it’s for my highest good to follow my intuition.

Remember, you are not someone else. So choose accordingly to your vibrational frequency.

Excellent and resonating post. Thank you Laura for so clearly explaining this. I hope people will find some gems of insight and comfort to support their process.
