Integral Life Practice PDA 2.0
Integral Life Practice is an important component of Integral Developmental Theory. ILP is based on a particular Integral developmental body of work created by noted philosopher Ken Wilber. A key quality of the Integral Life practice design is to move the participant from an intellectual understanding of the subject to a more experiential state. Research shows that in order for a human to effectively change unwanted habits, the approach has to be more than cognitive. It needs to evoke an experience of the desired new habit that takes into account the two interior and two exterior states that all humans experience the world through.
The videos on this page show some of the Integral Life Practice applications I developed for Integral Life. The developmental move in the design of Integral Life Practice from cognitive understanding to full embodied experience was a first step towards deeper brain states that can be evoked with Virtual and Mixed Reality technology.
