At last, a complete guide showing how to use KenWilber's acclaimed Integral Approach to design a personal programme of transformational practice. Integral Life Practice (ILP) is a customizable, user-friendly approach to spiritual practice that meets the needs of the whole person by including not only spiritual activities like meditation and prayer but also exercises for body, mind and "shadow" (any part of ourselves that we repress or deny). ILP allows practitioners to choose the practices that most suit them, in a mix-and-match style, adapted to whatever belief system or religion they may already be following. With its combination of exercises, explanations, theory, examples, personal stories, and illustrations, "Integral Life Practice" will be the bible of a truly integrated approach to practice for years to come.

"At once challenging and uplifting, tender yet assertive, this provocative and accessible book is the source text for a new movement in post-metaphysics and life transformation. This book is the definitive roadmap for your journey to an awakened life."--Anthony Robbins, author of Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power "From the moment I began an Integral Life Practice, it was as if my life was assigned a new trajectory and course setting from deep within the cockpit of my soul. 'Glory upon Glory' is the way my days are unfolding since I began to practice. An ILP is an incredible catalyst to growth in ways that I could never have imagined. See for yourself!"--Eddie Kowalczyk, lead singer-songwriter of Live "Integral Life Practice is an extraordinary achievement. Comprehensive, detailed, and powerfully rational, it inspires any and all of us to consider more deeply how profound is our embrace of the life we are living. The searing clarity of the integral perspective leaps off every page of this manual for personal evolution, clearly illuminating what it means to be fully alive!"--Andrew Cohen, spiritual teacher and founder of EnlightenNext "Ken Wilber's Integral Theory has created a road map. Now Terry Patten, Adam Leonard, and Marco Morelli have added a GPS (Global Practicing System) with Integral Life Practice. Travelers on the spiritual path will find this book indispensable."--Brother David Steindl-Rast, Benedictine monk, author of Listening Heart: The Spirituality of Sacred Sensuousness and Gratefulness, The Heart of Prayer: An Approach to Life in Fullness and cofounder of Gratefulness.org "Once again, Ken Wilber and his colleagues have taken a big subject, swallowed the wholething and the kitchen sink too, and then spent years working to understand it, digest it, metabolize it, and then translate it into clear prose and helpful practices. And the outcome? This wonderfully helpful manual for living: Integral Life Practice. A fantastic resource for a more peaceful, meaningful, intelligent, and exuberant life."--Elizabeth Lesser, author of Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow and The Seeker's Guide, and cofounder of Omega Institute <br>"Ken Wilber and the authors of this clearly written, sensible, well-informed book are fellow explorers with George Leonard and me in the development of integral transformative practices. Such practices grow out of a philosophic vision dawning across the world that joins our aspiration for personal and social transformation with both science and the contemplative traditions. This book will advance this developing worldview and the disciplines needed to actualize it."--Michael Murphy, author of The Future of the Body and The Life We Are Given and cofounder of Esalen Institute <br>"Integral Life Practice will help you build the healthy foundation from which you can wake up to your transcendent nature or Big Mind. Western aspirants have long needed a universal practice manual that wisely draws upon ancient traditions and modern science and psychology. Now we have it--an inspiring, straightforward guide for living a truly harmonious, awakened life."--Zen Master Dennis Genpo Merzel, author of Big Mind, Big Heart: Finding Your Way <br>"Integral Life Practice is a masterpiece guide of grounded, intelligent, self-transforming wisdom integrating the insights of all the great traditions of truth."--Caroline Myss, author ofAnatomy of the Spirit and Entering the Castle "This book makes Ken Wilber's ideas come alive. It spells out how to apply Integral philosophy to everyday life by working with body, mind, spirit, and the deeper psychological aspects of ourselves. Integral Life Practice presents a useful map of one's existential condition leading toward the attainment of the highest states of consciousness."--Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche "Integral Life Practice offers a finely honed
