About this ebook
A radical approach to mindfulness and self-transformation that combines an ancient meditation technique with leading-edge theory
With practical teachings and detailed instructions, Ken Wilber introduces Integral Mindfulness, a new way of practicing the widely popular meditation. Integral Mindfulness applies many of the leading-edge insights of Ken Wilber's Integral Theory—the first system to combine Eastern teachings on the five stages of awakening with the eight major Western models of human development, thus portraying the complete path of human evolution. In addition to all the benefits to body, mind, and spirit that standard mindfulness meditation confers, practicing Integral Mindfulness promises a more powerful approach to personal transformation and brings within reach the fullest experience of Enlightenment possible.
Beginning with as little as fifteen to thirty minutes of daily sessions, the meditator can gradually expand from there by slowly and easily adding significant aspects of the practice. Meditation instructions and step-by-step guided contemplations are given in detail. Readers learn how to create a graph to track progress and discover natural strengths and potentials. The book also offers recommended readings and resources to facilitate further study.

I've been into Ken's work for quite sometime. It's nice to see it becoming a bit more accessible. SES is still my favorite. My only gripe is his writing style. I've tried recommending him to people and most of the time they're put off by his somewhat condescending tone. I'm able to push through it but I do wish after all these years he could work on that. All in all, great stuff, as long as you can get past all of his Integral Showing Off and constant superlatives when talking about his own work
