Welcome to Integral Wellness Solutions
Greetings!
An overarching message of this month is to rest in the simple truth of your wholeness. We are meant to be vital and unique expressions of our fullest potential. We are meant to love unconditionally, be of deep service in the world, and experience the pervasive joy that is encoded in our very being. I hope you find the information inspirational and take advantage of some of the opportunities offered this month to remember your wholeness and begin living as that vital and unique expression you were meant to be. In service,  Mike Brabant, Founder/CEO

STOP & Remember Who You Are
So I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news: this article is not going to provide you ultimate fulfillment, nor is seeing a psychotherapist or coach, nor is attending a transformational workshop, or filling up your 401K, or receiving forgiveness from someone you hurt in the past, or getting a promotion, or being loved in a way you felt you never were, or ANYTHING that is external to who you already are. Don't worry, I'm bringing some serious "good news" to offset this rather dreary picture being painted.
The "good" news: everything you have ever looked for outside of yourself has been under your nose (or heart) all along. This basic goodness, this truth of your being was never born and will never die, did not require you to "do" anything to receive it, and can never be taken away from you. So you may be asking yourself "what I am supposed to do if engaging in these aforementioned things will not provide me ultimate fulfillment, when I am still feeling unfulfilled?"
I'm not saying to disengage from your transformational practices, just to realize that you are not creating anything that will lead to fulfillment, rather you are simply revealing what has always been there. Think of the core of who you are as this vibrant, whole, fully alive presence that lives inside of you. This core came into a family dynamic that necessitated it create a personality buffer to survive in an non-ideal environment, conditioning you to fit certain roles and expectations. Then culture came in shortly thereafter and conditioned you to believe that you are separate from everyone else, not good looking enough, not skinny enough, not the right skin color, etc., etc.
That conditioning is just that, conditioning. Extra stuff placed on top of your perfect core. For a brief awareness exercise, take a moment to feel into all the ways that how you "do" you is based on a striving to be "seen" in some way, to control some circumstance or person, or to prove to yourself that you are good enough. How would your life look if you could just have a sense of ease in your being with the embodied understanding that you are completely loved, in fact you are Love itself, and that nothing you do or don't do can take that away from you. So STOP your doing, just for a moment. Relieve yourself from the duty of self-betterment, of putting on the face of who you feel you should be and simply be as you are.
Allow yourself to touch into this truth and hold it in your awareness as you engage in any sort of transformational practice, process, book, workshop, therapy, etc. With this understanding in your back pocket, the things that you engage in for personal growth will not be expected to provide you with ultimate fulfillment that simply is impossible to achieve through "doing" anything. When anything is external to us, it is impermanent and can be taken away from you at any moment.
I encourage you to engage in your life holding this truth of your inner beauty, wholeness, and love, NOW, not after therapy, not after you save enough money, not after your kids are secure in their lives, NOW. When you find yourself putting emphasis on external things for ultimate fulfillment, realize that what you are really wanting rests inside. Turn inward and deeply acknowledge that you have all that you need already and perhaps see what emotion is underneath this striving towards something outside of you. If anything, it will provide you some self-knowledge and opportunity to experience some unexpressed emotion that will help you more clearly see what true beauty lies within. Remember who you are and know that any inner work you do will be a revelation of your true radiance that has always been shining brightly from the core of your being, waiting patiently for you to realize it.

Revealing Your Wholeness
Integral Wellness Solutions main goal is to help as many people as possible to remember their wholeness. To be inspired and empowered to engage in their life in a way that helps them remember more and more of their inner divinity, wholeness, and deep worth.
As the article above stated, engaging in a coaching program such as the one that we offer is not going to add anything to you. Nor is it going to provide you with ultimate fulfillment. What it will do is to help you untangle the ways your psyche, your body, and your relationship to Spirit is impeding your ability to remember your innate wholeness.
Many of us don't want to invest in a long-term psychotherapy stint because we are functioning well enough in our lives. The coaching work offered through IWS is a short-term and potent combination of several healing modalities that enable you to see the ways you are holding yourself back, empower you with tools to make those changes, and help you shine the light of awareness into your shadow to use those unexpressed emotions as powerful fuel for healing, wellness, and transformation.
Please click here to see what to expect from the initial 3 sessions of Integral Wellness/Awakening Coaching. Feel free to call 925.997.9449 and schedule a free over-the-phone 15 min consultation to discuss your healing, and/or wellness and/or transformation goals and see if our coaching program can aid you in achieving your goals as well as go far beyond what you thought you were capable of becoming.

New Public Yoga Class
Mike is now teaching a new public class at the Danville Yoga Center on Tuesdays from 8-9:15a.
His regular class will be
a level 1-3 class called Heart-centered yoga. It will be a blend of psychology, spirituality combining into inspirational themes of personal and collective evolution. Coming from the notion that we are all perfect just the way we are AND we could use some work.
Although each class is not geared around opening the heart through back bends (although many will be), the focus on connecting to that universal heart that resides in all of our body-minds will always be a focus of each class. Each class will offer an perspective shifting theme around how we can open ourselves more to life and heed the teachings available to us in every moment.
Class will be a blend of asana, meditation, humor, flow, and deep holds for an all-levels blend of healing, heart, and self-actualizing inspiration! All levels are welcome as modifications will be given for every pose.
