As a child i was very clumsy (still am) but could somehow do very good gymnastics tricks - especially on the balance beam. It was a unique feeling of my head, body, solid objects, physics, speed, balance... all just worked for a few minutes.
Was that integration? If not I'm sorry, and hope it was a nice story anyways.
yes thats what it is... you put all the different elements together to form one whole memory of accomplishing your gymnastics tricks and you have that conscious memory of doing that. All the different elements came together for you to be able to do that. Thank you for sharing one of your times when you did the integration process.

(integration doesnt have to be this big major thing, human beings do this every day of their lives where they are putting their thoughts, behaviors, objects, concepts together.)

another one of my first integrations that I remember was cooking my parents a meal on mothers day. there I was just a small child trying to put together eggs, sausage and cheese in a pan to make breakfast for my parents. that breakfast didnt look the greatest but my parents still ate it and I enjoyed the fact that I could "cook" something other than cereal. in order to do this and remember doing it so many elements had to come together with one goal in mind.
