Episode 191: Path of Opening Down – Part I

August 21, 2017

In this talk, Reggie says that the samsaric approach to chaos is to try to limit it, control it, and shut it down. The purpose of meditation is to make room for chaos. In doing this, we open to the unknown and the unencumbered birth of our life.

This talk was given in April 2005 at the Meditating with the Body Retreat held in Crestone, CO.
