Learn a professional skill set that will provide income through meaningful and beneficial service to others
Money follows when you provide a service that heals, balances, and transforms the lives of others. Practitioners of IDL report that more important than the money is the satisfaction that comes from providing real help that makes a concrete difference for people in need.
Learn interventions that are fundamentally spiritual and transpersonal, rather than basically psychotherapeutic or religious, yet which heal, balance, and transform
Integral Deep Listening is a psychospiritual methodology that is primarily self-directed. In addition to being integral, transpersonal modalities are internal and experiential, yet based on prepersonal wants and personal reason.
Awaken the highest potentials within your clients
You don’t know what is best for yourself, much less for your clients. If you pretend that you do by playing spiritual parent, they will eventually come to resent the disempowerment that represents. As an Integral Deep Listening Practioner, people will come to you not only to help them listen to their highest potentials, but to keep them accountable to act on what rings true for them.
Identify, listen to, and defuse resistance within your clients
IDL allows your clients to understand how and why they are blocking their own development and then shows them practical ways to stop sabotaging their happiness. Your job is to help them listen to their resistances in a way that frees them to attain new and higher potentials.
Teach your clients to listen to the healer within
Integral Deep Listening does not awaken the healer within. It is already awake! What it does is teach how to first listen to and then implement the amazingly perceptive and appropriate recommendations of self-aspects.
Teach your clients to listen to self-aspects that will tell them how and why they are stuck and what they need to get unstuck
Everyone knows that they are stuck. They know they need your help to get unstuck, but they either put on the brave face or do not want to appear weak or dependent. It’s both easy and fun to interview a character from a dream or the personification of a life issue that speaks to them a truth they cannot deny about who they really are and what they need to do.
Learn how to provide support and accountability for your client’s ongoing integral life practice
Most health professionals are taught to provide interpretations called diagnoses, prognoses, and treatment plans. When clients do not do what they are told they blame them for lack of “compliance.” As an IDL Practitioner, you do not provide interpretations. You teach your clients how to listen to their own legitimate, authentic, and appropriate interpretations (from interviewed self-aspects) as well as recommendations for how to put those interpretations that make sense into practice in their lives. To do so, they need your ongoing support.
Learn strategies that complement many other interventions, including counseling, massage, hypnotherapy, coaching, reiki, and ministry
As an IDL practitioner, your work blends in seamlessly with the tools you already provide to others. Whether you are a naturopath, mother, physician, mediator, acupuncturist, teacher, adolescent peer counselor, or professional therapist, the quality of your services will be enhanced. If you want to improve communication, trust, and intimacy with friends, family, and lovers, Integral Deep Listening is here to help.
Learn to offer others something unique
As an IDL Practitioner you get to practice crazy wisdom. That means you get to make money having fun. How many people manage to do that? The only problem that you will have is that life will become so much fun that you really won’t care whether you have money or not or if you charge people for your time and expertise. You will have to learn that what you have to offer is so special and precious that giving it away gives some people the wrong message – they don’t take their own innate wisdom seriously. They don’t realize what an incredible gift you are in their lives because you mirror their own highest agenda rather than imposing one on them.

Integral Deep Listening helps you to awaken from the dream of your life. It does so by helping you to see clearly how and where you are stuck and what you need to do to get unstuck. It seeks out other legitimate internal perspectives on how to heal, balance, and transform your life. To this end, it teaches you deep listening to your soul through interviewing aspects of yourself that appear as physical symptoms, emotional upsets, relationship problems, dreams, and nightmares.
