Holotropic means "moving toward wholeness," from the Greek holos (whole) and trepein (moving in the direction of). The breathwork utilizes the remarkable healing and transformative potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness. These states engender a rich array of experiences with unique healing potential - reliving childhood memories, infancy, birth and prenatal life, and elements from the historical and archetypal realms of the collective unconscious.

Story
To stretch like a cat or wriggle like a baby in the sheer delight of the body - it's the natural way of all living beings. Yet most of us have spent our lives numbed to the sensual realms of tactile awareness. When the world threatens us, teaches Will Johnson, we learn to tighten our bodies and lose ourselves in thoughts, experiencing our lives at arm's length. But the good news is that what was learned can be unlearned. Awakening the Body is much more than a body-awareness meditation program. It's a complete course to return to the life fully felt.

MASTERFUL!!!
From someone who located, then lived and studied with two of my ancestral peoples, Fon Vodun of ex-Dahomey (Benin Republic) and Theravada Buddhists in Burma (Myanmar), I found Dr Ray’s teachings to be extremely rare and valuable. Participating intimately, as a recognized tribal member, but raised in the US with Western traditions, was a challenge. Cultural differences, even more than language, posed both obvious and subtle dilemmas while living within and learning, ancient spiritual philosophies, liturgies, and dogma. Because in both places the ancient lifestyles remain present and alive.
All of Dr Ray’s works have provided the understandings and insights that enabled me to deeply absorb the wealth of spiritual knowledge so kindly offered to me by my ancestral peoples. And the enjoyment and appreciation of the societies and my people.
But, thus far, of Dr Ray’s works, “Your Breathing Body 2” is ultimately my greatest source of insight.
Dr Ray is a profound spiritualist and a talented teacher.

Hard to Listen to This
Would you try another book from Reginald A. Ray and/or the narrator?
I would try reading this book, because the concepts presented seem very useful and worth my time, but the recording is either recorded poorly or the speaker is just one of those people who is really unpleasant to listen to. I'm not sure which.
What didn’t you like about the narrator’s performance?
He speaks in a rushed, breathless tone of voice. It's so odd-sounding that I wonder if it's actually the recording speed.
Any additional comments?
I've had trouble with all my Audible Books when I try to listen with my Apple iPod device. I get unpleasant echoes, or high-speed playback issues, seemingly at random. I have to go reload them from my desktop onto my iPod to resolve the issue, but then it'll reoccur later. Very frustrating, especially since the information in the books is so potentially interesting and useful, to have to put up with a lot of irritation in listening to them.
