| Touching Enlightenment: 2008 Teaching Tour
| | |
|
In the Tibetan meditation tradition, the body is considered the gateway to enlightenment — to discover the body is to discover awareness, and, eventually, the awakened state. When we look at the body from the outside, we see something ordinary. But when we view it through the eye of meditation, we find it holds unlimited interpenetrating realities. As Reggie teaches, “to discover the body is to discover our deepest self, and, in turn, to arrive at the genuine spiritual fulfillment we all seek.”
On this Touching enlightenment teaching tour, created for meditators of all levels, Reggie brings the practice of embodied meditation to students across the country. In evening lectures and weekend intensives, he will introduce participants to a series of body-based awareness practices drawn from Tibetan yoga — somatic protocols that open us to the full depths of our inner life in all its profundity and transformative power and allow us to come face to face with your own deepest unfolding journey.
Dr. Reggie Ray brings us four decades of intensive study and practice within the Tibetan tradition as well as a special gift for addressing the unique inspirations and spiritual imperatives of modern people. Here is a unique opportunity to study with Reggie, one of the most innovative meditation teachers in the West.
