This past weekend, I started reading Integral Life Practice: A 21st-Century Blueprint for Physical Health, Emotional Balance, Mental Clarity, and Spiritual Awakening by Ken Wilber, Terry Patten, Adam Leonard & Marco Morelli. It appeals to me because it is a holistic/integrated approach to well-being that can be applied regardless of one’s spiritual or religious orientation. It includes practices for the body, mind, spirit, and shadow dimensions of one’s life.
When I see the Sanderlings at dawn busy searching for sustenance, I think of my own spiritual practice and the ways that I nourish myself. I begin my day with yoga and meditation, and then (after barn chores!) I enjoy spiritual readings with my partner. This has become such a treasured and compelling time for me, though I struggled for many years to come to this. I look forward to seeing how I may refine these practices as I continue reading Integral Life Practice.
I would love to hear about your practice or struggles with practice.

I love the pinks in this shot, Carla–so refreshing…
Yes, the colors in that photo are absolutely magical.
Let me know what you think of the book. I have always been fan of Wilber’s work and there’s no denying it is great stuff, but I lost interest in it a bit after ‘One Taste’, which I enjoyed less than any of his other books.
