Philosophy
The Individual
​
The main goal of Integravita is to enable and empower our fellow human beings to self-efficacy. We have grown up in a society where we are taught from childhood what is possible, what is not possible, what someone can and cannot do, what is good, and what is bad. These patterns, which are not absolute, and are subject to drastic change depending on culture and age, have become so ingrained in us (conditioning) that we are often controlled by them in our lives and thus unable to develop to our full potential. Thoughts such as, "I'm not musical," "I have a weak immune system," "I have to be diligent and work hard to be loved," "I'm actually bad," or "I can't learn this," are so deeply ingrained in us that they have grown into deeply internalized beliefs. Identification with these limiting beliefs lead us to sabotage our relationships, professional opportunities and even our own personal growth. Through these limiting beliefs, we sabotage our relationships, professional opportunities and even our health. We want to help raise awareness of conditioned patterns so that we can notice them in our daily lives and decide anew whether they still serve us. We take more and more responsibility for our actions, thoughts, words and our persoal life circumstances and in turn begin to navigate our own path in life. In doing so, we also make decisions that serve our health and well-being. Integravita sees the physician or therapist as an equal; a consulting part of the relationship with the other person. Only through the pursuit of self empowerment can we bring about lasting, positive transformations.
The Relationship
​
If one begins the path self empowerment, one must practice honesty, patience, humility and compassion. In time, one becomes aware of just how many non-beneficial relationships and interactions are fostered on a daily basis. One also realizes how much not only oneself, but also other people are trapped in their individual patterns which rob us of depth and connection. In this way, we are the cause of our own suffering. We all strive for the same things; happiness, connection, love, and peace. Unfortunately we have each learned different unconscious tools over the course of our lives to obtain these things. On this healing journey, we learn to see through these unconscious patterns to the true and beautiful essence below. We see the innocent child; full of love and wanting to be loved. And at the same time, we are also learning to lovingly but clearly express our needs and set our boundaries. No more doing things out of a compulsion! No more suppressing one's own truth. In this way, we slowly expand from seeing our own truth and innocence, to that of those close to us and eventually to all people.
The world
​
With this insight comes the insight that we are also related to animals, plants and the one earth that we inhabit. Decisions in everyday life, in small as well as large things, can be made more and more globally. One tries to act for the earth and thus for the relationship with others and thus for oneself.
