In today’s episode, Reggie discusses how the spiritual journey unfolds in relation to our experience of the awakened state. He says, “We begin the Five Yana journey with what is called sudden enlightenment – the experience of abrupt vastness.  But then you get triggered and you’re back in your ordinary neurosis. Or you get distracted and you’re back in your small mind. The journey of Mahamudra is to bring that vastness into every moment of our life.”

In this episode, we listen to the second part of a talk Reggie gave on the stages of embodied meditation. Here he covers the Mahayana, Vajrayana, and Fifth Yana. He says that Mahayana practices of the heart awaken tenderness and love. Vajrayana practices meet our inspiration to become “a spontaneous expression of nature.” And, in the Fifth Yana, we let go of a spiritual path altogether.

Today’s podcast features the first part of a talk Reggie offered on the five stages of embodied meditation. What follows is a description of the first two stages of the journey: the Ground Yana and the Hinayana. He says, “Enlightenment is dropping conventional notions of the body. It’s not that you separate from the body, but you drop the limitations that you impose conceptually on your experience of the body – you discover your own body as the body of the Buddha.”
