Spiritual Meditation and Strength for Your Soul by Dr. Reginald A. Ray

Dr. Reginald "Reggie" Ray brings us four decades of study and intensive meditation practice within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition as well as a special gift for applying it to the unique problems, inspirations, and spiritual imperatives of modern people.

He currently resides in Crestone, Colorado, where he is Spiritual Director of the Dharma Ocean Foundation, a non-profit educational organization dedicated to the practice, study and preservation of the teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and the practice lineage he embodied.

Here are some useful tips from Dr. Reginald "Reggie" Ray:

• He challenges us "to be awake, to be enlightened. . . to be fully and completely embodied." In his view, we in the West are disembodied and this can be seen in the ways we use, misuse, and exploit our bodies.

•  He said that part of the problem is that we also are disconnected from our emotions and unable to experience them with openness, trust, or confidence. The result is an emphasis on the mind over the body or what philosopher Ken Wilber calls "brains on a stick."

• He believes that the somatic practices of Buddhist meditation can help us reclaim our bodies. Our flesh can become our teacher speaking to us through our sensations, feelings, images, and somatic memories. The author examines the value of practicing attention to the body and many of its benefits including the art of letting go, discomfort, dealing with pain, tracking our emotions, the "good news" of chaos, and cultivating the imagination in body work.

• He concludes that the body is an ideal place of spiritual pilgrimage where we can encounter mystery and depth.
