SUMMARY:The Somatic Practice of Pure Awareness: The Tantric Style of Embodied Meditation
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nAn Online Immersion with Reggie Ray\nPlease note the prerequisite experience of the somatic meditation practices\, detailed below\, before enrolling in this course. \nThis online program centers around the somatic practice of pure awareness. This is the simplest and also the most advanced teaching--the essence--of the Tibetan tantric tradition. Pure Awareness\, also called the awakened state or the Buddha mind\, is our most fundamental nature\, a part of ourselves that is neither born nor dies and underlies all of the experiences of our human life. \nIn this online course\, Reggie leads us through the training stages of the somatic practice of pure awareness. We are invited into embodied awakening as we journey into the limitless openness\, wisdom\, and joy that are within each of us\, waiting just beneath the surface of our everyday experience. \n\nLocation \nOnline Program \n \nCoordinator \ninfo@dharmaocean.org \n\n\n\n \n\nA Call to Practice: An Invitation and Overview\n\n\n\n\nThis 10-week online course includes:\n\n\n\nVideo teachings and guided meditations\, recorded specifically for this course\nWeekly readings\nDiscussion forums facilitated by meditation instructors where you can connect with other practitioners from around the globe\nGuidance through the program by an assistant teacher\nThe ability to download recordings of the talks and guided meditations\nLivestreams where Reggie will give live teachings and answer questions (dates TBD\, but both will be viewable after the live events).\n\n\n\n\nCourse Structure\nNew course materials will be released each week for the ten weeks of the program. Participants may engage with that material at any time during the week\, and previous weeks’ materials will be available to stream or download. \nParticipating in the forums is encouraged but not required\, as is any engagement with an assistant teacher. \nThe Somatic Practice of Pure Awareness website will remain open for up to 60 days after the course is finished\, so participants may download materials or go through the course again at their own pace. \n\nRelaxation in Meditation: Gateway to Somatic Awareness\nThis video is from the Somatic Practice of Pure Awareness course. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Teacher\nDr. Reginald “Reggie” Ray draws on four decades of study and intensive meditation practice within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition to address the unique problems\, inspirations\, and spiritual imperatives of modern people. He is the founder and Spiritual Director of the Dharma Ocean Foundation\, a non-profit educational organization dedicated to the practice\, study\, and preservation of the teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and the practice lineage he embodied. Read full biography. \n\nPrerequisite Training for This Course\nThis is the second in a series of four online courses being developed to offer experiential training in the core somatic teachings and practices of the Dharma Ocean lineage. The courses are designed to be incremental\, with each course building on the practices of the previous one. The first course\, Awakening the Body: The Way of Somatic Meditation\, taught a series of foundational practices that included six core practices: \n\n\n\nTen Points Practice\nEarth Descent and Earth Breathing\nYin Breathing\nComing into the Central Channel\nWhole Body Breathing and Rooting\nTwelvefold Lower-Belly Breathing\n\n\n\nKnowing these core practices is a prerequisite for The Somatic Practice of Pure Awareness\, and participation in the Awakening the Body course is the preferred way to satisfy this prerequisite.  \nHowever\, we recognize that many people may have some experience with these practices through other means such as: completion of the Meditating with the Body 5-month program or a Winter Meditation Intensive\, practicing with Your Breathing Body Volumes 1 and 2\, or being trained in these practices in a Dharma Ocean practice group by an authorized teacher.  \nIf you’re not familiar with the core practices\, you can still enroll in this course. We ask that\, prior to the beginning of the course\, you read Reggie’s new book The Awakening Body\, which introduces the six core practices and provides a free download of the guided practices. The book is now available at Shambhala Publications. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration is now closed for this course.  \nTuition for the course is $379 with a sliding scale scholarship rate of $289 for those who need financial support to participate in the program. If you are not in need of financial support please choose the standard program tuition. \n\nFOR MORE INFORMATION\, PLEASE CALL US AT 303-955-2574 or 1-877-DHARMA9\n\n
