Reggie Ray is an incredible facilitator. He is extremely consistent in his manner of speaking - concise! There's a flow to Somatic Descent that brings one right into the practices with ease and understanding.
I am very interested in body work and the idea of the Soma - this programme introduced me to new ways of feeling into the body and exploring the concept of the Soma in more depth. I feel you need to dedicate time and patience to this programme to really benefit (and have to admit that I need to re-visit) but Reggie Wray feels very authentic and I learned deep techniques that I have incorporated into my practice.
After meditating with Reggie every day for five months, I just did the first part of the somatic descent.
I am humbled by this practice. I feel like I have just met my sacred self for the first time. I cannot even describe how powerful, blissful, emotional, and peaceful I feel now.
Just do it! What an amazing gift to humankind.
Working with Somatic Descent has been, and will continue to be, a wonderful journey. Ray's warmth, depth, compassion, wisdom, and generosity permeate every moment of this rich offering. With Somatic Descent, Ray has given us a fabulous gift - discovering the body as an accessible bridge to our unconscious, our soul, and the depth of the universe. I cannot recommend this rich offering enough. What a gift!
Enjoyed the content and exercises in meditation and Somatic Descent. I have had a bit of experience with the Dharma Ocean website and teachings. I suggest using their site to grasp an idea of their Path and philosophy if you have not had the chance.
It is a compassionate and gentle sharing--so helpful! My gratitude for having this in my library. Regards to all.
