Waking Up: Using Integral Deep Listening to Transform Your Life

You may know how to wake up; do you know how to stay awake? Most people who have mystical experiences quickly fall back asleep into the waking dreams of routine, habit, and culture. Integral Deep Listening is a dream yoga not of lucid dreaming but of lucid living, of waking up out of your life script, the Drama Triangle, and your cognitive distortions by finding and following your own inner compass. In the process you will learn to interpret any dream, end any nightmare, and access practical, powerful tools that you will not outgrow. You will learn how to access your own amazing inner potentials in the form of your dream characters and the personifications of oyour life issues. They will teach you how to use your breath to turn your life into a meditation to awaken into fearless confidence, a life of service and compassion, balance and wisdom, detachment and acceptance, freedom and inner peace, clarity and witnessing, whether awake or dreaming.
