TRANSCRIPT
Integral Life Practice is . . .
The Ultimate in Cross-Training,working synergistically on body, mind, and spirit in self,culture, and nature.
Modular, allowing you to mix and match practicesin specifi c areas or “modules.”
Scalable, adjusting to however much—or little—time youhave, down to the 1-Minute Modules.
Customizable to your individual lifestyle—you design a program that works for you, and adapt it on an as needed basis.
Integral, based on AQALTM technology, an “All Quadrants, All Levels” framework for mapping the many capacities inherent in human beings.
Distilled, boiling down the essence of traditional practices—without the cultural or religious baggage—to provide a highly concentrated and effective form of practice for post-postmodern life.

Symptom Original Shadow Formmanifests from
Resentment of outside pressure
Rejection (“Nobody likes me”)
Guilt (“You make me feel guilty”)
Anxiety
Self-consciousness
Sexual Dysfunction
Fear (“They want to hurt me”)
Sad
Withdrawn
I can’t
Obligation (“I have to”)
Hatred
Envy (“You’re soooo great”)
Drive
Rejection (“I reject them”)
Resentment (of another’s demands)
Excitement
Outward focus (on others)
“I wouldn’t give him/her the satisfaction”
Hostility (“I’m angry and attacking without knowing it”)
Mad
Rejecting
“I won’t, dammit!”
Desire (“I want to”)
Self-hatred
“I’m better than I realize.” (A golden shadow form)
Often, you can translate a 3rd-person shadow symptom back into its original1st-person form. Use the chart above as a handy reference guide. These aresome of the more common examples of how shadow translates into symptom(and vice versa). As you continue to practice with the 3-2-1 Shadow Process,you’ll gain more insight into your own individual shadow dynamics.

I love to go rock climbing with Rick (my husband). I haven’t done this in almost two years, so I shouldn’t list it as a practice. However, I do want to plan a rock climbing trip in two months. Play regularly in a league. I’d like to explore more of the inner game of tennis. Why do I get angry when I miss an easy shot? Attend classes regularly. What kind of yoga would activate my subtle body more? I’d like a simple 5-10 minute routine I can do every day at home.

Play regularly in a league and practice focusing awareness on my head, heart, and hara. My game has improved signifi-cantly. Next season, I’ll be ready to play in a more advanced league. Practice with Ashtanga teacher who focuses on all 3 bodies. Wow! This practice has helped ground me in my hectic life. I want to increase the frequency of my yoga practice, but just a little. Eat fresh, whole, natural foods only, and minimize simple carbs. It’s hard for me to maintain this practice when I eat out. I think I will spread out my one “free” day to cover the few times a week I eat out.

Full 45 minutes every weekday morning. I only stuck with this for 3 days! Now I only do the 10-minute version, which seems to work.Eat optimally and only buy organic, free trade foods. It’s working better to eliminate junk food, emphasize raw food, and strictly limit snacking. Also, one day a week, I eat whatever I want. On the subway to my graduate classes. – This practice still works great (although I’ve missed my stop a few times). Participate in league and compete in competitions. I’ve cut back here and now only play informally with a co-ed group. Less stress.

We’ve only know each other for 2 months but I’m happy how the relationship is unfolding. Explore ways to deepen my current friendships. – By cutting back on my other practices, I’ve had more time to connect and share with friends. Assist in local senior center. This was wonderful, but again, too much. I’ve cut down to 1x/month, which I’m enjoying.
