The Practice of Pure Awareness

Somatic Meditation for Touching Infinity

De: Reginald A. Ray

Narrado por: Reginald A. Ray

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.

Excellent

Would you listen to The Practice of Pure Awareness again? Why?

Yes, over and over because I hear something new each time. Mind expanding advice that you can apply and practice and practice forever. Love his voice.

For the Seeker

Would you listen to The Practice of Pure Awareness again? Why?

Yes over and over to reinforce the somatic meditation.

What other book might you compare The Practice of Pure Awareness to and why?

Other books come close to trying to get you to pure awareness in a top down manner from the mind, but some people including me this does not work as well as using the body to reach pure awareness

Which character – as performed by Reginald A. Ray – was your favorite?

He instructs the meditation and explains the philosophy behind it.

Any additional comments?

If you are a serious seeker for enlightenment this is a must the narrators voice is monotone but found this conducive to getting in the right zone for meditation.

A slowing down Olof mind and body

Wow! This is a very specific Soma meditation. Building in layers through the book to a 40 minute meditation. Regis speaks slowly and methodically. Great practice for fine tuning the chakras and central channel.

Fantastic!

I enjoyed learning about the down/up approach vs he typical top/down approach to meditating. Regi’s voice is very relaxing and easy to listen to. The book is good for daily meditations and easy listening. I recommend for all experience levels.

Excellent!

Well worth the listen. Appropriate to my stage of development. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to take their practice deeper.

A series of great lessons

Every few years I pick on a book by Regional A. Ray and go through the lessons. They are very in-depth and can bring up some very intense stuff! The first time it took me a year to get through the first book. This time I got through the book in 6 months, but the lessons are only beginning! Heed authors warnings as you go through each lesson! Trust me things will come up and you need to be prepared!

practical, deep, full of loving mindfulness.

I've been meditating since 2005. This is an excellent book for beginners or long-time meditators. The vibration of the teacher's voice carries through the entire audio program to encourage and Inspire the meditator. The practical and metaphysical wisdom of the teachings combined with the delivery of the guided meditations can provide very helpful insight to anyone that truly is seeking their own inner wisdom. I highly recommend this audiobook.

Simply amazing

Simply amazing.
This review is required to be fifteen words long. Words like go, let go and relax.

Exceptional knowledge and presentation

As a Shaman I have been trained to traverse the upper and lower worlds and the dimensions on this plane. But now in a Buddhist Monastery in Burma studying Vipassana Buddhism, I was both overwhelmed and delighted to learn about the treasures within. Dr Ray's presentation provided me with a deep understanding of the journey within and I continue to employ his teachings on a daily basis.

Reggie Ray always impresses

I love the long practices. The wisdom....there's a saying that if you want to find enlightenment listen to yourself with 2 ears. Listening to Reggie is like an inner voice reminding me of the most beautiful and subtle awareness within me. Thank you
