SUMMARY:Awakening the Body: The Way of Somatic Meditation
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n"Meditation is learning to tap into the wisdom\, inspiration and unconditional love of the body. All we need to do is let go and let the body show us our true life." \n~ Reggie Ray \n\nAn Online Course with Reggie Ray\nOur body is the most direct and perfect path to profound spiritual transformation. Through our body\, we connect with the inherent\, self-existing wakefulness that is already present within it. \nIn this online immersion\, Reggie leads us in exploring the view and practice of somatic meditation and how it reveals the joy\, altruism\, and creativity that reside at the core of our being. Designed for beginning and advanced students alike\, the training focuses on a series of powerful somatic meditation practices drawn from Tibetan and East Asian Buddhism and spiritual Taoism. \nThis program offers an in-depth guided exploration of the practices presented in Reggie’s book\, The Awakening Body. We’ll be learning how to uncover the full fruition of the guided practices in both our formal meditation and in our daily life. For those of you who have already worked with the practices in The Awakening Body\, the course will allow you to deepen your experience with the practices through Reggie's direct oral transmission which is so essential for the life of these teachings. \nThis is an introductory course and is a prerequisite for further courses in this series.
