"An Integral Vision"

Hello All,

I hope the Holiday Season finds everyone well. I have another recommendation for you. "An Integral Vision," by Ken Wilbur (the brilliant mind behind integral theory). I compare it to the Tao Te Ching in that it is a quick read, but you could really spend your entire life reading it! He says, "The purpose of an integral life practice is to realize the full spectrum of your unique and special capacities."

And my favorite:

Everything is you.
You are empty.
Empty is freely manifesting.
Freely manifesting is self liberating.

It is amazing how my classes at JFK are continually reinforcing/coinciding very similar ideas. I have found another connection between the Taoist/Buddhist approach to health and integral theory. This "opening" within us (aka: space that is created through breath) is changing every day. We have the ability to find our "awakened" state in the here and now. However, there is a process aspect that is emphasized, and that striving for anything can lead to being focused on the outcome. When we accept our current state of health, no matter at what level, we possess a heightened awareness for the present moment and can only grow from there. Open your mind, body, and spirit to integral theory!

Be Well (RIGHT NOW!),

Erin
