Hugh & Kaye Martin

Ken Wilber's 'felt body,' 'bodyself,' 'types,' 'functional invariants,' and 'horizontal translation.'[1] This installment shows how these abstruse and esoteric concepts square with the Martin's broader and more cohesive ADAPT Model.

Arenas in the Realm of the Body. Body-oriented growth practices: Homeopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture, Reichian therapy, yoga, etc. How each of the seven Chakras is manifested in various bodily systems and conditions.
Enneagram Types -- How They Grow. How each of the nine Enneagram Types can become healthier by growing from Fixated to Evolved.
The Functional Constituents of Self. The eleven fundamental components of human nature that enable us to function and grow as human beings.
Horizontal Growth. Normally, we think of Growth as Vertical -- that is, growing upwards from Stage to Stage. However, Growth can also be Horizontal -- i.e., growing within a Stage. We present two forms of such Growth:
- Improvement & Translation. We improve on abilities we acquire at a particular Stage. Then we translate those abilities to other related skills.
