About this listen

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

It is the most down to earth, heartfelt narrative of descending into the soma. No boring science, statistics, theory or research but the real direct experience of a sacred meeting. Highly recommend it!!

I can't thank Reggie Ray enough for this beautiful sharing. The guidance and specially the meditations are so clear and well paced. They have supported my practice more than I can say. Thank you!

Amazing resource for embodied practice

Beautifully read, soothing to listen to but above all a profound practice which - for me - brings together yoga nidra, vipassana, somatic experiencing and takes it much deeper.

I love reading and listening to Reggie Ray. He speaks so directly and simply and profoundly. He just seems very authentic, without unnecessary embellishment. The instructions are clear and perhaps most importantly seem to really do something to transform the consciousness in some way. This is one of those audiobooks that im sure I will spend many hours listening to over again and I believe will be the basis for a new approach to my spiritual practice. Thank you Reggie for sharing your insights - I am very grateful to have access to it. thank you audible for listing some fantastic life-changing content.
