A Framework for a Fractured Age
We are living in a Crisis of Separation: disconnection from our bodies, from one another, from authentic identity, from the living earth, and from a sense of purpose. At its root, this is not just a psychological or social problem â it is a perceptual crisis, a misrecognition of who and what we are.
Integral Recognition is the response to this crisis. It is a method for restoring embodied awareness as the foundation of identity, relationship, and belonging.
What Is Integral Recognition?
Integral Recognition is not a single technique but a living framework that adapts to each person and situation. It draws on classical Tantric teachings, somatic psychology, and relational practice to support healing, awakening, and integration in everyday life.
At its heart is self-recognition â awareness recognizing itself behind thought, feeling, and conditioning. From there, the method unfolds into body-based, relational, ecological, and purpose-oriented practices that reweave the fractured threads of human life.
Core Aims
Self-RecognitionÂ
Returning to awareness as the stable ground of identity.
EmbodimentÂ
Meeting contractions in the body and nervous system with presence and care.
Emotional IntegrationÂ
Transforming emotions into opportunities for self remembrance, wholeness, and realization.
Relational Belonging
 Repatterning intimacy, boundaries, and presence with others.
Ecological Connection
 Restoring relationship with the living world as conscious and alive.
Purpose & Dharma
 Aligning decisions with deeper orientation rather than fear or habit.Â
Modalities Woven Together
Integral Recognition integrates a range of practices, chosen responsively for each individual or group. Some of the main practices are:
- Self-recognition practices (Ätma vichÄra, Yoga Nidra)
- Somatic awareness and regulation (Há¹idkaya, spanda-based movement)
- Emotional integration (Tantra Yoga of Emotions, titration, shadow work)
- Relational repatterning (Tantra Yoga of Relationship, attachment-informed presence)
- Ecological belonging (Eco-Tantra, earth-based ritual)
- Embodied decision-making and dharma work
What Makes It Integral
- Multi-layered: Works across the five bodies â environmental, physical, mental-emotional, energetic, and vastness.
- Adaptive: Practices are tailored to the unique needs of each person or group.
- Embodied: Recognition is not left in the abstract but lived in the body and daily life.
- Relational: Practice unfolds not only within the self but also in relationship.
- Purpose-Oriented: Realization is integrated into dharma and everyday choices.
In Short
Integral Recognition is a synthesis of self-recognition, somatic practice, relational healing, ecological belonging, and dharma work â designed to restore wholeness in an age of separation.
