Item Description

The successful bidder for this item will receive a two-book set on somatic meditation from Reginald A. Ray and Shambhala Publications.  

In The Awakening Body: Somatic Meditation for Discovering Our Deepest Life Ray explores the way joy and freedom are the essence of who we are and how our conceptual filters keep us from connecting to this wonderful inherent truth about ourselves. But the solution to the problem is literally right at our fingertips (and feet, head, and ears): the body. When we learn to see through the mind-body dichotomy we also see through the unreality of the painful knots we tend to tie ourselves in.

The Practice of Pure Awareness: Somatic Meditation for Awakening the Sacred presents the core and essence of this tradition through the somatic practice of Pure Awareness—a unique kind of meditation that is thoroughly grounded in the body and in ordinary experience. This fundamentally transformative practice offers the possibility of enlightenment in this present life and invites us into the immensely powerful journey that Tibetan tantric spirituality has to offer.
