Homeschool on the Run!

Not the barbie Ken!

I have spent the last few days reading Ken Wilber.  I am very impressed with his all encompassing schematic that organizes philosophy and psychology not to mention the spiritual realm so that it is possible to get your head around all of that stuff. There are so many interesting facets in his book. He has also written more of a self help type of book aimed at integrating this wisdom into your life so you can be as alive, vibrant healthy and as spiritually evolved as possible.  It is like having a life coach in your hand.

…like I need one!!   (Of course I need one!)

…I will just pour myself a glass of wine… 

Anyhow…

I have read a Brief History of Everything and I’m part way through Integrated Life Practices.  I already have the next 2 books on the nightstand. 

…and I am thinking…why haven’t I read any of his work before.  I started googling him and it turns out that he has quite a following.  I think it is amazing just how much stuff you can dig up on the Internet about a person, good and bad in a very short period of time.

What I like about the his Integrated Life Practices is that rather than work on one thing to improve your life such as nutrition, he suggests taking small steps in many areas.  As in cross training the work you do in one area will support the work you do in other areas.  There are four core areas that need to be addressed each day that support the mind, body, spirit and work on your shadow side!  Anyway I think this is a very balanced way to start living better and it is this kind of balance that I would like to integrate into my homeschooling method.

I will write more about this but I just can’t seem to get my nose out of this book.
