Publisher's Summary
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
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Be patient, and you ll see...
Reggie does great and hopeful-instilling job of telling us, how we can access our inner wisdom, guide, and Self.
For the beginner: Be very patient with yourself, if meditation is new to you. You'll find yourself frustrated trying to find stillness, let alone carry out the visualizations. Your mind will say "This is woo-woo...are visualizing this right... this doesn't work". This is normal. Let the meditation muscle grow, and be open to what comes through.
The idea resonates a lot with my practise of somatic experiencing and meditation. Over the course of a year, I have basically overcome much of my anxiety/self consciousness and SSRI's! IT is a process though. We shed one layer at a time. This is synonymous with Sedona method, and Letting Go by D. Hawkins.

Snore
So far I've listened to 12 chapters of this book (about 1.5 hours). I really struggled to not fast forward. Finally, at approx. 2:30 of chapter 12 the author STARTS to describe the actual steps of "somatic decent". I found the first 12 chapters to be nothing but repetitive rambling. I hope it gets better or I'll be returning it
