Your Life is Your Practice

Posted on Aug 22nd, 2007 by Huy : Integral Monk Huy
 

(This is a continuation of the post titled, "Turn Your Inspiration into Transformation" (above).  I know, technically I entered this one first, but I figured it was easier to read from top down.)


Thanks for following the bread crumbs and now on with the story...


In my previous post, I discussed how we might have peak experiences that inspire us to grow, but then find it difficult to follow through.  I then posed the question, how do you turn a temporary state that you experience, into a more permanent trait that you develop?


The answer is simple and challenging.  In a word, practice.  If we want to be a better golfer, musician, writer, triathlete or yogi, we need to practice these things.  That's pretty obvious.  But what if we want to live as our highest selves and act mindfully and compassionately in all areas of our lives?  How do we know which practices will be most effective at helping us to actualize this?


The Integral Life Practice program was developed by using the Integral model to organize the many practices available to us today - east and west, ancient and modern - to help us answer this question. 


Basically, ILP provides the framework for us to translate our inspiration to grow, into powerful practices that can lead to sustained transformation.  The Integral Life Practice Kit was created so that anyone can take advantage of these insights - whether you are trying to bring more balance into your life, or you are exploring how to live at the leading edge of consciousness. 


The ILP Kit focuses not only on one area of your life, but rather on the whole of it.  It provides specific practices to engage the fundamental aspects of your being - body, mind, spirit and shadow, so that your life becomes your practice.


The ILP Kit can show you how to:


  • Increase your physical health and energy with the 3-Body WorkoutTM, a daily practice that integrates strength training (physical body), energy practice (subtle body), and feeling to infinity (causal body).
  • Catalyze your spiritual growth with Big MindTM Meditation, a profound experience of your highest self and biggest heart, using an elegant integration of Zen and Western psychology.
  • Restore emotional balance and relational joy with the 3-2-1 Shadow Work ProcessTM, a quick and powerful technique for revealing-and integrating-hidden or "shadow" aspects of yourself.
  • Provide mental clarity with the AQALTM Framework, the most comprehensive map of reality available.  Allows you to take anything you're already doing and place it within a comprehensive framework that fully makes sense of it: a place for everything in your life!


To use a sports analogy, if you wanted to be a great basketball player, you would probably train in other areas as well.  You might weight lift for increased strength, jog for increased endurance, and even practice a martial art for increased speed and focus.  Cross training in these different areas can help you to be a better basketball player, then if you were to just play basketball all the time. 


The ILP Kit uses this same concept to create a complete psycho-spiritual cross training approach that engages the four core aspects of your being.  And since it's true that, wherever you go (or whatever you do), there you are... as you grow in depth and consciousness, it benefits every part of your life.  This is the evolutionary process through which we turn our states into traits.

Back to school special...  I remember that when I was a kid, I always hated hearing this because it meant that summer vacation was almost over... Well, let's see if we can create a nice happy feeling from this phrase now.  Even though most of us may not be technically going to school anymore, we're all still in the school of life.  And until we die (or may even after that), we always have the opportunity to learn and grow each day. 


To make it even more enticing for you to explore how the ILP Kit can help you, we are pleased to offer a discount of $50 off.  And now, for the first time, we are also excited to offer Ken Wilber's latest book, The Integral Vision, for free with the purchase of the ILP Kit.  If you are new to Integral, this book is a great introduction.  Order the ILP Kit now and receive the discount AND the free book. 

Here's what Publisher's Weekly had to say about it:


"Philosopher, psychologist, and mystic Wilber delivers on the subtitle's far-reaching promise. . . . Chock full of handsome illustrations and spare, Zen-like diagrams and tables, Wilber's work here is still accessible and at times surprisingly practical. Some language spirals up majestically, recalling great Eastern texts. Reminiscent in spirit and watershed import of Ram Dass's Be Here Now, Wilber may well have created a popular classic for explorers on the frontiers of humanity."


Our mission is to help you to further awaken to who you truly are.  We believe the ILP Kit has everything that you need to help you create you own ILP, and to live a more conscious and compassionate life. But if it doesn't work out for you, it can be returned for a full refund at anytime.


Make no mistake though; the ILP Kit will not change your life.  Only you can change your life.  The question is do you really want to?  If you do, the ILP Kit is a valuable tool to help you along your path of growth and self discovery.  Whether you are just starting, or already have been at it for years, the Integral Life Practice Kit will help you to take your practice to the next level.    I hope you join us in this amazing journey.

Huy, I love your article!  And it hit's close to home, exchange raves with love partys (no, not that kind, rather swap warehouses with lakehouses, glow sticks with glitter and you're right there).  I am looking for ways to bring my spirituality in to my every day routine.  However, that 200$ price tag is a little steep for me right now.  Is there a cheaper way to get the package?

Thanks,
Rob
