Are You Embodying What You Know?

Contained within the human heart is an inextinguishable drive to make greater sense of our world while also cultivating the freedom, passion and capacities to transform it.  This is why many of us are drawn to lead integral lives.  And I’m sure you have noticed that while living integrally starts as something you know, it proceeds to something you do, and ends as something you embody.  It is embodiment, this final step, that we all seek – the “on-board capacities” to grow anywhere we want to; to live completely, deeply in touch with our unique gifts and vision.  Not merely as something we know, but also as something we are.

So it is with great pleasure that today I publicly announce the launch of our Integral Coaching service.  Integral Coaching is an incredibly powerful vehicle to help you build whatever capacities you are seeking in your life.  Backed by ten years of development and global application by our exclusive coach training partner Integral Coaching Canada, it is also the most effective, and most integral, transformational platform for human growth we’ve ever seen.  Because you will increasingly see this “technology” start to infuse the Integral Life ecosystem, from media to events to online experiences, here’s why we’re so excited about its ability to serve as a genuinely integral platform on which to build our future:

1. Transformational: it works across all levels of consciousness and lines of human development to achieve real and sustainable capacity integration in any line of development: spiritual, emotional, leadership, self or any others. (In fact, it impacts all of them.)
2. Relevant: it works over the entire range of actual daily experience by always starting with what’s going on in your life right now in any topic, challenge or opportunity.
3. Integral: it employs a sophisticated understanding of subject-object differentiation to achieve growth in vertical stages and health in horizontal interpretations.
4. Integrative: Going beyond just knowledge, or “tastes” of experience that soon fade, this approach actually integrates new insight and skills into embodied capacities for deep living (or anything else you’re seeking).
5. Personal: it works with your 100% unique perspective on the world and accounts for your unique way of doing, living and being in relation to where you are right now.
6. Applied: it uses fun and engaging practices that will help you sustain your transformation.  It helps you unlock potential with real-life practices in the areas you care about, and in fact takes Integral Life Practice to a whole new level of precision and growth.

This is an approach that truly lives up to the higher standard set by integral philosophy itself.

Finally, I’d like to thank you for being who you are and continuing to participate with us as we grow.  There is pressure in many organizations to engage in “limbic-system” marketing to achieve growth regardless of ethical considerations.  I am deeply thankful that in this community I can offer a thoughtful picture of our hopes and intentions and that you take the time to listen and participate.  That is rare, and special.

As always, thank you for your time and your ongoing contribution to integral living worldwide.

Loving regards,



Robb
