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.

Extraordinary book

After playing the intro I decided to give this method a try. The audiobook is well laid out and you get a very thorough introduction before trying out the method for the first time which I found really useful.
The first session was surprisingly effective, a simple practice but explained in such detail that it became something else all together. I was finally reunited with parts of myself that I have found too difficult to experience in the past. In fact one of the reasons I decided to try this method was to experience and heal some deep emotional wounds. From the first session I can say that I am shocked at how effective this method really is and I urge you to give it a try.
I have a background in Yoga and body awareness and think this may have helped me get such good results from just the first go but I think anyone could do this given the authors great explanation and guidance.

Really astounding

I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend this book and any book by Reggie. I’ve listened to it repeatedly. Each chapter starts with an introduction and follows with a practical meditation session. If you’re working on being mindful, this book provides excellent grounding for being in the body and present.

Inspiring...everyone should listen to this book.
