Balancing

In a world that rarely slows down, there’s a simple yet powerful practice that invites us to reconnect with nature, with our inner selves and with the present moment. Earthing (or grounding) is more than just walking barefoot on grass; it’s a way to tap into the earth’s energy, living a more balanced, purposeful and full-of-wonder experience.

Sometimes everyday situations can throw us off balance – a long line at the supermarket, holding the phone for some tech support, the waiting room of the doctor’s office. A Balancing and Centering exercise can be just what we need to return to a calm and accepting state. At the February ITPI Open House (on Zoom), Lucy Piper led this nearly 11-minute exercise that will help you find your center during life’s challenges.

As we navigate life’s transition, positive outcomes await. But sometimes, something holds us back. Listen to George Leonard explain our natural inclination to resist change.

Bring your entire being into balance during this guided ITP exercise led by co-founder George Leonard. Using the foundational practices of ITP and Leonard Energy Training, you’ll gain an understanding of why being centered sets the course for a harmonious and balanced life, and how to return to your center during life’s challenges.

In our life-long pursuit toward the further reaches of our potential, we must always proceed with that first step. I recently spoke with Bob about his own practice, particularly his extraordinary capacity to retain and recite poetry. As with so many special conversations we’ve had, it was a flow of wisdom punctuated with a poem.

The quick fix doesn’t work. Listen to ITP co-founder George Leonard as he shares his insight on how the key elements of lasting success and positive transformation require a commitment to a long-term, personal practice.

ITP member, Rich Sigberman, shares what happens when he approaches a task using an integral approach combined with love, and the steps he takes to reach this state in his daily tasks.

The powers of body, mind, heart and soul which, when balanced and integrated, awaken us to infinite possibilities for greater life. While the Kata is an extremely effective way to integrate and support body, mind, heart and soul evolution, I sought to bring these quadrants of being together through another passion – exercise.

This guided video on basic centering, from ITP's Leonard Energy Training, provides an easy path to somatic balance and awareness of center. In the ITP worldview, a change in the condition of the body, mind, heart, or soul affects the whole person and so it follows that a balanced body leads to a balanced life.
