Integral Life Practice

Integral Life Practice

Integral Life Practice, often abbreviated ILP, is an approach to personal growth and transformation which aims to account for all aspects of one's being. Unlike the earlier, similar Integral Transformative Practice (ITP) popularized in George Leonard and Michael Murphy's seminal work "The Life We Are Given" [ [http://www.itp-life.com/books1.html The Life We Are Given] 2005, ISBN 0-87477-792-5] , ILP is based explicitly around Ken Wilber's integral/AQAL framework.

One of the central principles of ILP is that certain practices interact synergistically to produce a greater effect than any of them alone. For example, meditation practitioners find that if they also take up a strength training practice, they will progress much faster in their meditation practice.Fact|date=September 2008

In 2008, a comprehensive book on the subject was published by Shambhala Publications - "Integral Life Practice: A 21st-Century Blueprint for Physical Health, Emotional Balance, Mental Clarity, and Spiritual Awakening" [ [http://www.shambhala.com/html/catalog/items/isbn/978-1-59030-467-9.cfm Integral Life Practice: A 21st-Century Blueprint for Physical Health, Emotional Balance, Mental Clarity, and Spiritual Awakening] 2008, ISBN 1-59030-467-5] , by Ken Wilber, Terry Patten, Adam Leonard, & Marco Morelli.
