Psychology, Neuroleadership, and Neurofeedback: Resources

Much of what shapes the Principles of Practical Psychology comes from a mix of sources. One I keep returning to is Ken Wilber's Integral model of human development. If you want to understand where a lot of this thinking originates, Wilber's work at IntegralLife.com is a good place to start, and you'll find other material there that overlaps with what's collected below.

Two of Wilber's frameworks tend to come up again and again. The first is the shorthand he uses for Integral theory itself: all quadrants, all levels, all lines, all states, all types. The second is the Wilber-Combs Lattice, which maps how stages of development intersect with the different states a person can move through over the course of spiritual growth.

Most people arrive wanting the same thing, which is a fix for whatever problem is in front of them. That turns out to be harder than it sounds. The difficulty isn't the problem. It's that the underlying skills haven't been built yet: holding executive attention for any length of time, steadying your emotional and psychological state when it starts to swing, dropping into deep relaxation or climbing into a high-energy peak state when you actually need to, rather than whenever your nervous system happens to cooperate.

This is why we point people toward Mindfulness and Meditation and Neuro-Training before anything else. Those practices are where the capacity gets developed. You can request access to the program by filling in your contact details.
