Integral
meditation emphasizes balanced spiritual development. Balanced spiritual
development is achieved by meditating on each of the four poles of spiritual
development. By developing the ensouling entity (Soul), spirit, and the
inner vehicles of the mind to the same nodal point, harmonious transition
from one nodal point to the next is achieved. The attentional principle
then contemplates this new state of being, looking for the emergence of
novel abilities, for fresh vistas of intuitive knowledge and understanding.
Integral
meditation also incorporates many aspects of spiritual practices in a
single system. These are the ten steps of the process we teach in the Mudrashram® Master Course in Meditation.
