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 in to 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 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 nonphysical levels, many meditations for connecting with and embracing the soma, and how to integrate these profound changes into your daily life.

Highlights include:

• 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

A gift to humanity

I have just met my sacred self in my body. Such an amazing practice by an amazing teacher.

Transformational teaching

I’ve returned to this over and over on my meditation path for deepening my awareness, self-healing and presence. The wisdom of the body was virtually unknown to me until discovering this work. Truly transformational and healing, I’ve recommended it to everyone in my life seeking peace and truth.

Reconnect with the wisdom of the body

Do you have any additional comments?

This is a great program to become more in touch with the ever present wisdom within, and especially tailored to modern day living

The Most Important Practice

I believe coming back to body is precisely the work that is needed and required of us today. Body is Earth. Our disconnection from Earth is disconnection from Body. We are not separate…. nothing is. To do the work of coming back to one’s own body has a ripple effect on the whole world.

This book called me just days after having a profound experience of pure connection with my body - through simply rotating my consciousness through my different body parts - without external guidance. Basically a body scan or what’s called rotation of Consciousness in Yoga Nidra. After years of doing beautiful guided practices, I had hit a wall and needed to self guide and remove the filter of my mind which allowed me to experience pure awareness on a level i was previously limited in accessing because of the filter or lens of my mental (left brain logical) experience.

This book and the teachings herein gave me a deeper understanding conceptually and tools to continue and deepen this practice experientially on my own and through the sacredness of the Soma.

This program is excellently taught, I highly recommend this material and very much enjoyed the teacher.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Inspiring and life-changing

Amazing book with power practices, with roots in Buddhism adapted to our modern world and targeting the acute issue of our disconnection with our bodies.

another amazing work by Reggie. thank you

Have every audio of Reggie Ray. Was scared this was going to just be a repeat of his other work. I was pleasantly surprised. The wisdom that he shares is so enlightening.

Experience the living Universe in the body.

A step-by-step, gentle, yet deep practice that can be worked with over and over to deeper and deeper levels of satisfaction.

Excellence

Somatic Descent is an excellent program. Ray produces something that takes its time with someone, while allowing for the earnest practitioner to go ahead and practice if he feels ready. One of the author’s advanced programs. Worth it.
