THE LIFE WE ARE GIVEN

Leonard and Murphy bring us results from their program, Integral Transformative Practice (ITP), the latest concept in the quest for self-knowledge and spiritual awakening. With a kind of tag-team approach, they switch off in explaining the principles of the program of focusing inward on one's mind, body, heart and soul in a lifelong practice. They also reveal helpful experiences with their own ITP classes. Leonard and Murphy integrate Japanese "katas" (body-warming exercises), Hindu meditation and a Western "group therapy" format to help students transform their goals into realistic and lasting successes. Although the physical exercises aren't incorporated into the audio presentation, there are helpful guidelines toward mental and emotional relaxation all listeners can benefit from.
