Hello, I'm Cha Wilde. Welcome to our guided meditation session. I've recently moved from Bali to Seattle, which brings a fresh backdrop to our practice. Let's begin by sitting comfortably on the floor. We'll connect with our bodies through gentle postures and deep breathing. I'll read excerpts from 'The Awakening Body' by Reginald Ray, highlighting the importance of body awareness and inner connection. We'll move through poses like Child's Pose, Thread the Needle, and a gentle backbend, paired with mindful breathing. Focus on your breath, body sensations, and stay present in the moment. Let's dive in and connect together. 00:00:49 -- Connecting with the Body Sha invites us to sit on the floor and connect with our bodies, emphasizing our shared human anatomy and experiences. She suggests that by going deep into our bodies, we can tap into a universal field of awareness where everything is interconnected. 00:02:29 -- Reading from 'The Awakening Body' Sha reads from 'The Awakening Body' by Reginald Ray, her meditation teacher in the Tibetan yoga lineage. The passages she shares highlight the importance of entering directly into the limitless domain of the body to uncover our deepest, most authentic selves and true lives. 00:03:14 -- Guided Meditation and Yoga Poses Sha guides us through various yoga poses, such as Child's Pose, Thread the Needle, and a gentle backbend. She incorporates breathing techniques and mindfulness practices, encouraging us to focus on our breath, body sensations, and the present moment. Let's immerse ourselves in this session, creating a space for awareness and connection. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chawilde/support

Cómo y por qué nos desconectamos del cuerpo. Qué es y qué no es el tantra. Cómo aprender a amar desde el alma con el cuerpo. Se menciona el trabajo del Dr. Reginald Ray.
In this week's episode Reginald Ray speaks with Joanna about: Trungpa Rinpoche and the transmission in the West of the deepest Tantric teachings from Tibetan Buddhism; the inherent spirituality of the body; returning to the sanity of direct experience; the natural love of embodied existence; a microcosm of the Universe; entering the somatic realm beyond thinking; feeling deeply the sacredness of human life; trauma recovery and the spiritual path; metaphoric language and the body; awakening to the nourishing and loving presence of the Earth; changing the world through reconnecting with the Earth. The post The Awakening Body appeared first on Future Primitive Podcasts.
Reginald Ray, Tibetan Buddhist scholar and teacher, is back with us this week to discuss some pretty big topics. We explore the break that he made, several years ago with the Shambhala tradition, and the larger implications of becoming a Western teacher in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Connected with that we explore the whole issue of Westerners not being regularly empowered to be teachers, and several of the factors involved in that dynamic. We also touch on whether or not Westeners make the best practitioners, and what seems to keep them from going deep. This is part 2 of a two-part series. Listen to part 1, The Forest Dwelling Yogi.

“Enlightenment is found in the Body and nowhere else.” – famous Dzogchen saying We’re joined in this interview by Reginald Ray–author of numerous books on Tibetan Buddhism and teacher in the lineage of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. In this episode we discuss the forest dwelling meditator, a category of practitioner outside of the normal lay / monastic dichotomy. In particular we look at the role that retreat–both group and solitary–plays for the type of practitioner that does intensive retreat but is not a full-time practitioner. We also discuss Reggie’s teaching emphasis on the shamanic aspect of Vajrayana Buddhism, particulary the role that the body plays in awakening. This is part 1 of a two-part series.

In today’s FBA Podcast, Mahabodhi kicks off a series of talks on the theme of ‘Work As Spiritual Practice’ with “Work As Spiritual Practice: Introducing Reginald Ray’s Threefold Model”. Based on Ray’s book, ‘Buddhist Saints in India’, this is a framework for considering the spiritual benefits and challenges of three roles or life styles within Buddhism: The solitary retreatant, the sangha builder who works within Buddhist institutions, the lay practitioner or social activist whose commitments take them to work out in the world. According to Ray, each plays a crucial role in the health of the Sangha. After exploring the different life styles, Mahabodhi talks about his experiences as the ‘retreatant’ writer. A talk in a series addressing the relevance of Buddha’s teaching to contemporary issues at the Manchester Buddhist Centre 2011.
