All rights reserved. 2 www.EvolvingWisdom.com www.IntegralSpiritualPractice.com Welcome from Terry Patten Welcome to Integral Spiritual Practice: The Eight-Session Course to Activate your Conscious Evolution and Awaken the Full Potential of Your Body, Mind and Spirit! I’m delighted that you’ve made the decision to engage this journey into the next phase of your growth and development with me, and with the whole community of Integral practice that includes more and more people all over the world. Even if you never meet each other in the flesh, when you engage in practice, you are connected with all other practitioners, and especially with those in the virtual “we-space” that has been created by the hundreds of fellow practitioners who have engaged in Integral Spiritual Practice and who continue to practice this profound work. I look forward to walking with you through the curriculum via the rich audio, video and print resources of this course. Additionally, you’re invited to dive into the Bonus Workshops I created with my brilliant, wonderful friends and teachers: Ken Wilber, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Andrew Cohen, Diane Musho Hamilton, and Saniel Bonder. I’m sure you’re excited to get started, but I suggest that you first review the Principles of Integral Spiritual Practice. This will set a powerful context for the journey that you are about to embark upon and help you to connect with your core integrity and commitment to practice. If you need technical assistance, you will also encounter the good people at Evolving Wisdom’s Customer Support Department. Just email them at [email protected]. And that’s just the visible dimension of a much larger spectrum of people who’ve come together to help develop this course. I’m grateful to all of them, and to you, for helping to co-create what’s about to unfold! In practice and service, Terry Copyright Terry Patten/Evolving Wisdom 2013. All rights reserved. 3 www.EvolvingWisdom.com www.IntegralSpiritualPractice.com Quick Start Instructions ➡ The foundation of the Integral Spiritual Practice course is the 8 audio sessions with Terry Patten. Please download these from the Course Materials page on the website. ➡ You will be invited to begin a Daily Practice. In the audio sessions, and in the written materials found in this guide, you will find “Core” and “Optional” practices recommended by Terry. Please begin practicing as soon as you can! ➡ Please keep this Course Guide handy so that you can refer to it as we move through the course. We recommend keeping a copy on your computer desktop, or printing it out and putting it in a binder for easy reference. Copyright Terry Patten/Evolving Wisdom 2011. All rights reserved. 4 www.EvolvingWisdom.com www.IntegralSpiritualPractice.com Elements of the Course How the Course Works, and What You Need to Know (More Detailed Instructions) To participate in the course, all you need to do is listen to the Course Sessions, and, above all, practice. But there are rich supplementary videos, audios and PDFs, and this Course Guide has been created and revised to help you make sense of everything. We have found that what fosters the greatest transformation is engagement with the Course Sessions and the other elements of the course. Quick information on all aspects of the course is below, followed by more in-depth explanations and instructions that you can read as needed. The Course Materials Page You’ll see that after the Introductory and Bonus Materials Section, the Course Materials Page is organized with one section for each session. In the Introductory Materials you’ll find this Course Guide and other materials that are general to the course. When you click on any session you’ll find: 1. The Core Materials for that session. These consist of: • The Session Audio—the recording of Terry teaching that session • The Transcript of that Session Audio • The Q&A Audio—an audio recording of Terry answering questions and coaching students. These sessions are highly recommended; students have reported that they powerfully enhance their understanding and practice. But note that they do not strictly follow the content of each session. Copyright Terry Patten/Evolving Wisdom 2013. All rights reserved. 5 www.EvolvingWisdom.com www.IntegralSpiritualPractice.com • The Practice Assignment and Reflection Questions for this session. They will focus your attention on both the recommended practice focus for the week or two, and iguides you through a journaling exercise that will deepen and enhance your personal engagement with the teachings of this session. 2. 3-D Workout videos and Posture Charts and Key Resources • These videos and Posture Charts teach the 3-D Workout step-by-step, so they are organized session by session, helping you to easily notice what is relevant to you as you go through the course. • In Session Four you’ll find additional printed handouts such as Making a Change to Your Diet, The Spheres of Integral Spiritual Practice: A Blueprint, and Principles of Integral Spiritual Practice 3. The Meditations and Other Materials for that session A key dimension of the course are the audio meditation instructions and guided meditations Terry created for this course. They are also organized session by session, pointing to what is relevant to you during each session. To participate fully in the course, all you need to do is listen to the Course Sessions— and practice. However, we have found that engagement with the Course Sessions and at least one other element of the course fosters the greatest transformation. Quick information on all aspects of the course is below, followed by more in-depth explanations and instructions that you can read as needed. Course Sessions The core and most fundamental parts of the course are the 8 Course Sessions, where Terry will teach the course material. All of the Course Sessions are available on the Course Materials Page. You can head through the course at your own pace, though we find that between one and two weeks per session is an optimal range of time to work with and have a beginning integration of the material, while keeping your momentum going through the course. (Tip: creating a “playlist” in iTunes with all your audio and video downloads is a great way to keep the material organized!) Copyright Terry Patten/Evolving Wisdom 2011. All rights reserved. 6 www.EvolvingWisdom.com www.IntegralSpiritualPractice.com To Sum Up ➡ Integral Spiritual Practice’s material consists primarily of 8 course sessions. ➡ You can listen to the sessions at your own pace, but for the best integration and momentum with the course, we recommend a pace of one session every one to two weeks. ➡ Each audio is available on the Course Materials Page. Question and Answer Sessions You’ll find recordings of Coaching and Question and Answer (Q&A Sessions) sessions that Terry conducted when offering this course to a group of people live. These are highly recommended, because they convey the spirit of ISP, help bring forward the humanity of the whole community of practitioners, and they help clarify many very real questions about practice. Practice Assignments and Reflection Questions Practice Assignments and Reflection Questions accompany each session. The Practice Assignments and Reflection Questions are designed to help deepen your inquiry and engagement with practice. We find that engagement with the Practice Assignments and Reflection Questions greatly facilitates growth and transformation. The Practice Assignments and Reflection Questions are included in this Course Guide for you to engage with at any point after you listen to the corresponding Course Session. To Sum Up ➡ Practice Assignments and Reflection Questions are inquiries and practices designed to help you deepen your engagement with the material. Copyright Terry Patten/Evolving Wisdom 2013. All rights reserved. 7 www.EvolvingWisdom.com www.IntegralSpiritualPractice.com ➡ The Practice Assignments and Reflection Questions for each session are included in this course guide, and can also be found on the Course Materials Page posted as PDFs.

  • Pharmacology Notebook a PDF (Searchable)
    The Shulgin Lab Books December 2016 Pharmacology Notes A (1985-1986) A Bit About This Document: While undertaking the work of investigating the chemistry and pharmacology of many varied psychoactive substances, Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin kept detailed notebooks. His documentation covered not only on his own personal research, but the research of friends and acquaintances. This book is the start of a new series representing a change of direction, stepping away from his personal work-ups, this book contains only the reports of others. It covers mostly 1985 through 1986. The Creation of This Document: The project to undertake the transcribing of Shulgin’s Lab Books was started in 2008 by a team of volunteers and staff at Erowid, along with members of Team Shulgin. Various books were transcribed without a clear idea of how to present the information as a final product; eventually this format was chosen and a volunteer began work assembling the document. Each page was painstakingly transcribed from scanned images. All the hand-drawn “dirty pictures” (molecule drawings) and graphs were edited from the original scans and combined with drawn-in marks, outlines, and arrows to form this searchable PDF. Most of the names in this document have been redacted and pseudonyms put in their place. Names are presented as much as possible as they were in the original book, for example “Robert Thompson” is also “Robert”, “R.Thompson”, and “RT”. Initials are frequently used, and no two people share names or initials so the reader can keep track of who’s who. (ATS is Sasha and AP is Ann) Words highlighted in yellow are words that the transcription team could not decipher.

All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled The Impact of Music Relaxation on Affect and Relaxation of Stressed Female College Students by YINGLAN HE has been approved for the School of Music and the College of Fine Arts by Kamile Geist Associate Professor of Music Matthew Shaftel Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT HE, YINGLAN, M.M., May, 2018, Music Therapy The Impact of Music Relaxation on Affect and Relaxation of Stressed Female College Students Director of Thesis: Kamile Geist Female college students have reported experiencing higher stress levels than their male counterparts. Relaxation techniques that alleviate psychological stress by helping them reach a better mental/emotional state may be more helpful for coping with stress. Music relaxation intervention in audio recorded forms were found to be effective for multi-faceted consequences of stress. However, effects of its live forms presented by a music therapist for alleviating psychological stress among female college students remain under-researched. This pilot study explored the impact of a live music relaxation intervention on female college students who self-reported as stressed (N = 31). The objectives of this study were to assess changes in five pre- and post-intervention states: negative affect, positive affect, contentment, relaxation responses, and observable relaxation responses. The focus of this study was to learn about qualitative differences in participants’ subjective experience with the intervention.

  • Procedure of Teaching Grammar Using Memory Enhancement
    PROCEDURE OF TEACHING GRAMMAR USING MEMORY ENHANCEMENT Herri Susanto Sekolah Tinggi Teknologi Bontang Jl. Ir. H. Juanda No. 73, Bontang, East Kalimantan [email protected] ABSTRACT Teaching grammar has been regarded as a process of understanding from the context. It means a teacher teaches the pupils contextually more than just the rules. However, I have my own experience that teaching grammar methods must depend on the purposes of learning grammar. Some people learn grammar as a means to fulfill the syllabus needs for schools but other people learn grammar for special purposes out of school syllabus, such as for entrance test. For these reasons, the methods of teaching grammar should be different. The students who learn grammar based on the school syllabus probably needs longer procedure of learning that usually uses contextual teaching through listening, speaking, writing, and reading. Nevertheless, students who learn grammar for test need shorter procedure of learning such as memorizing. Therefore, I propose giving a workshop of teaching grammar using memory enhancement as another alternative teaching grammar method. This workshop would show the class that grammar can be learnt through memory enhancement process, i.e.; mind map, music, memory technique and drill to boost up students understanding for test preparation. Keywords: teaching grammar, teaching procedure, memory enhancement ABSTRAK Pengajaran tata bahasa dianggap sebagai proses pemahaman konteks. Artinya seorang guru mengajarkan siswa lebih secara kontekstual dari pada sekedar aturan. Namun, berdasarkan pengalaman saya sendiri bahwa metode pengajaran tata bahasa bergantung pada tujuan pembelajarannya. Beberapa orang belajar tata bahasa sebagai sarana untuk memenuhi kebutuhan silabus sekolah sementara orang lain belajar untuk tujuan khusus seperti ujian masuk.

In 1975 Palo Alto guitarist William Ackerman (1) coined the term "new- age music" and founded a record label, Windham Hill, to promote atmospheric instrumental acoustic music. New-age music was thus born as a reaction to rock music. Rock music was loud and noisy, expressing a teenage spirit. New-age music was quiet and melodic, expressing an adult mood. New-age music had no vocalist, no drums and no electric guitar. New-age music was, first and foremost, a synthesis. It was a synthesis of cultures (high and low), moods (upbeat, ecstatic, melancholy, spiritual), genres (folk, electronic, jazz, classical, psychedelic), formats (song, symphony, suite, jam) and lifestyles (western and eastern). Since each of these components had existed for decades (if not centuries), new-age music pre-existed itself. The most obvious ancestor of new-age music is classical music itself. Despite the aristocratic way it was presented in the symphony halls and opera houses, classical music had included "mood" instrumental music from the very beginning.

  • The Effects of Music in Kindergarten Lessons on Student Engagement and Student Learning
    1 THE EFFECTS OF MUSIC IN KINDERGARTEN LESSONS ON STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND STUDENT LEARNING A dissertation presented by Paul M. Sullivan to The College of Professional Studies In partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Education In the field of Educational Leadership Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts August, 2016 2 Abstract Over the past many years public schools in the United States have seen a reduction in art and music-based programming. This emphasis toward standards-based public education with its increased focus on learning in the content areas has, in many ways, subjugated music to the classification of an extraneous or secondary concern. Many kindergarten teachers contest that notion and feel that music, for many and varied reasons, should serve as an important presence in early learning settings. This research focused on the use of music in kindergarten classrooms to affect the engagement and learning of students in those classrooms. The qualitative study was conducted in an early childhood center which centrally houses all of the kindergarten programming within a suburban public school district in the northeastern United States. Data was collected from three distinct sources; transcripts from a focus group interview of six kindergarten teachers, transcripts of the researcher’s interviews of eight kindergarteners, and a document review of the researcher’s protocols from his classroom observations of twelve kindergarten lessons - two each from the same six teachers who participated in the focus group interview. Emergent themes were discovered, identified and discussed from the triangulated data. The key findings of this study strongly suggest that when music is used in kindergarten classrooms and included within kindergarten activities student engagement is enhanced significantly and the learning of those kindergarten children is positively affected.
