Regardless of what has taken place in our past,
empathy enables our mind and our emotions to
join forces and become active in our
transformation.

When we live through empathy we live
through our real experience with enquiry,
curiosity and discovery, and in becoming
present to our here and now experience we
become a space for resolution and integration.

Integration is the birthplace of integrity. To
integrate and to become whole we need to be
living through relationship, with an internal
space of availability to process the experiences
that life is giving us.

Integration is not an end goal, it’s a journey, and
empathy enables us to be present and fully
available to participate in that journey.

To live well and to lead a healthy adult life, we
will need to embrace self-responsibility and
healthy self-care, balanced with an awareness of
the needs of others. We will need to become
mindful of the consequences of our actions, both
in the immediacy of our own lives as well as in a
wider context.
