LEARN TO MEDITATE<\/h1>\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.<\/em><\/p>\n

There are dozens of different ways one can learn to meditate.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr. Reginald \u201cReggie\u201d Ray, the founder of Dharma Ocean, offers a style of meditation designed to bring attention into the body, which is always in the present moment. This method is a fundamental principle of ancient tantric meditation schools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The body is the most direct and perfect path to profound spiritual transformation. It is through our body that we can connect with the inherent, self-existing wakefulness already present within. The body, is always in a profound state of being \u2014 all we need to do is access what already exists and abides.<\/p>\n

Rather than counting breaths, focusing on breathing, or labeling thoughts, we instead bring our awareness slowly and gently into the body, to discover what\u2019s waiting for us here and now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
