A Question of Embodiment

There's no question about it—an Integral approach to spirituality requires no small amount of brain power. With dozens of maps, models, charts, and graphs; a vast canon of essays and books; a seemingly inexhaustible body of community-generated content; as well as hundreds of hours of audio interviews and video clips—all in service of helping us to live as fully and free as we possibly can—it might seem somewhat exhausting. Doesn't all this fancy intellectualism actually get in the way of authentic spiritual experience? Shouldn't we learn to clear our mind of such mental concepts, reconnect with our feelings, and stay rooted in our bodies in order to more clearly perceive what is really real? Ken's approach to embodied spirituality disarms these sorts of questions entirely, as he discusses three very different types of "feeling," all of which dance naked upon the ceiling of awareness.
