Awakening the Heart: A Somatic Training in Bodhicitta

"A Somatic Training Program to Open Your Heart to the World There is no more powerful vehicle for knowing yourself and others than the human heart. For it is through the opening of the heart that we touch our own deepest experience, and come to connect with each other. In Awakening the Heart, Dr. Reggie Ray presents a 24-CD somatic training curriculum designed to help us dismantle the walls around our hearts and dwell in bodhicitta (literally “awakened heart mind”). Rediscovering the Vast and Mysterious Domain of the Human Heart “In the modern world,” explains Reggie, “we often feel lost in our relationships and uncertain in our ability to care about other people. But at the same time, as social creatures, we share a very deep inspiration toward connection, loving, and communion with others.” We find ourselves in this predicament because of our culture’s emphasis on the left-brain or “thinking mind” as the primary lens for viewing oneself and the world. In Awakening the Heart, Reggie will lead you through a progressive series of teachings and body-based meditations for rediscovering the vast and mysterious domain of the human heart—and accessing the depths of wisdom available within your body at this very moment. This is the path of bodhicitta, a compassionate commitment to be present to life and transform oneself in order to love everything that is in a way that is infinite and unconditional. “Who we are in our essence is a living field of awakened and boundless love,” teaches Reggie. Awakening the Heart is your invitation to the lifelong journey of reconnecting to our fundamental goodness and cultivating our capacity to love."

Somatic Descent: Experiencing the Ultimate Intelligence of the Body

"Engaging the Body as Your Source of Infinite Knowing Most of us sense that our bodies contain uncommon intelligence—we “feel it in our bones” or notice it in our “gut instincts.” But is there something far vaster here waiting to be experienced? With Somatic Descent, you are invited to tune into the natural wisdom of your body, refine and amplify it, and explore it fully. In this program, pioneering teacher Dr. Reggie Ray presents a fascinating audio program on this rich dimension of Tibetan Buddhism: how to go beyond the veil of the thinking mind to tap the wondrous yet wholly trustworthy domain of your body. Beyond Basic Mindfulness and into the Empowering Realms of the Soma For those who've worked with basic breath and body-based meditations, this course will be a revelation: step-by-step guidance into some of the most transformative and powerful experiences charted by Buddhism's vast maps of consciousness. Drawing on decades of teaching and scholarship, Reggie Ray shares a 13-CD curriculum of practices and insights to access the deepest knowing enfolded in the Soma, the landscape of your physical body and the source of immediate and greatest fulfillment. With him, you will learn: how your body is a field of infinite wisdom, the origins of somatic descent practices and how they transform us on both the neurological and non-physical levels, many meditations for connecting with and embracing the Soma, and how to integrate these profound changes into your daily life. HIGHLIGHTS • Your body as the field of infinite knowing • How to explore the wisdom of the Soma • Yin Breathing, Connecting with the Earth, and many other guided practices • Over 13 hours of investigation into the somatic dimensions of awakening "

The Practice of Pure Awareness: Somatic Meditation for Touching Infinity

"Accessing the Inherent Wakefulness at the Core of Your Being Your body is already awake. The journey of enlightenment, teaches Reggie Ray, ultimately leads you beyond the limits of the “head space” and into the living wisdom of the very cells that make up your physical form. With The Practice of Pure Awareness, Reggie shares what he sees as the essence of the Tibetan tantric tradition: allowing the depth and fullness of body-based or somatic intelligence to reveal itself. Nine Step-by-Step Sessions for “Waking Down” How can we discover this perfect, somatic knowing? It begins by removing the blockages that manifest mentally, emotionally, and physically. Join Reggie Ray as he presents the practice of pure awareness in nine guided, sequential sessions that lead to the direct experience of our true nature. Emphasizing deep relaxation, the power in the lower belly, opening the central channel, and the significance of posture, Reggie helps us unfold ever-subtler realizations of our capacities to love and heal. Through Yin Breathing, Earth Descent, 12-Fold Lower Belly Breathing, and more, we journey through the channels of the subtle body, releasing old traumas and stuck energy. “Through these meditations,” says Reggie, “our true selves begin to flower. We discover that, in essence, we are a river, a torrent, of love.” The Practice of Pure Awareness invites us into embodied awakening—a fuller and richer experience than the more arid or “above-the-neck” states of consciousness we find in many conventional spiritual approaches. Through committed practice, the body itself becomes our guide, teacher, and protector, illuminating the perfection inside and around us."

Buddhist Tantra: Teachings and Practices for Touching Enlightenment with the Body

"'Within my body are all the sacred places of the world,' the Buddhist saint Saraha once said, 'and the most profound pilgrimage that I can ever make is within my own body.' For 15 centuries, the realized masters of the tantric path used the crucible of their own lives to develop a powerful and accelerated means to enlightenment. Today, these teachings remain alive within the usually hidden inner courtyard of the Vajrayana vehicle of Tibetan Buddhism, a tradition that requires the courage to engage your body, your human desires, and your most challenging life obstacles as the basic fuel for insight. Now, with Buddhist Tantra, esteemed teacher Reggie Ray introduces you to these precious teachings, and invites you to explore the path to naked and unprecedented experience. The popular or exoteric teachings of Buddhism are known to many, yet its esoteric teachings remain relatively unknown in the West. If you have been seeking a gateway to this potent tradition, Buddhist Tantra is an unsurpassed opportunity to enter into the temple of its deepest truths. Entering the Vajra World through the Vehicle of Your Body The word 'tantra' means 'to weave through,' a metaphor that points to the vibrant fabric of intelligent and living energies that make up the essence of every cell of your body, every fleeting thought you have, and every particle of the universe. Entering this undefiled and ever-renewing vajra world is the promise of the tantric path. On Buddhist Tantra, through specific teachings and guided meditations designed to open your body and mind, you will begin to encounter this wondrous and indisputable realm of reality. From this embodied foundation, you will experience 12 sessions of rare teachings including: • The Feminine Principle—Why this primordial force is central to awakening, how feminine energies manifest themselves in human form, and how to bring them into each stage of your practice • The Inner Yanas—Working with your subtle body and its energetic centers, channels, and nodes to release karmic blockages, and move beyond the habits and distortions of your mind • Yidam—Advanced practices for invoking the support of deities, spiritual energies, and eternal buddhas • Mahamudra and Dzogchen—The pinnacle of Buddhist tantra, and its profound teachings about formless awareness and highest realization • Tantra's fascinating map of reality and spiritual realization • Why enlightenment begins in the physical body • The three turnings of Buddhist wisdom • The role of sexuality and desire in tantric practice • How realized teachers reveal the nature of our minds • A powerful meditation for grounding your body in the seat of awareness The Buddhist saints, their extraordinary experiences, and what we can learn from them • Unifying your masculine and feminine energy channels • A guided practice to connect with the earth as a sentient source of equanimity and calm The dangerous friend: the role of the spiritual teacher • When meditation is not enough: tantric perspectives for overcoming difficult obstacles • The consort—Allying with a spiritual beloved on the tantric path • Six complete guided meditations, including prana breathing, body awareness, abdominal breathing, and more 12 sessions of clear and deeply engaging guidance with a trusted teacher of Buddhist tantra"
