Meditating With the Body

In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, your body is your most trusted teacher and guide. By meditating with the body and giving your attention to the messages of the body, you can learn to embrace all of your emotions and the fullness of your experience.

If you are interested in starting a meditation practice or deepening your practice, if you want to meditate but often feel physical pain while meditating and want a different approach, or if you feel “stuck” in your spiritual unfolding and would like to go deeper, you are invited to this retreat with a foremost practitioner in the field, Tami Simon.

During the retreat, you learn body-based awareness practices drawn from Tibetan yoga and introduced to the West by pioneering meditation teacher, Reginald A. Ray. These meditating with the body practices include the ten points, which enable you to drop tension and your sense of separateness; earth breathing, which can remove barriers between your energy and the upward flow of energy from the earth; and abdominal breathing, which allows you to expel stale energy and open the core of the body so you can rest in open awareness.

This workshop is appropriate for nonprofessionals and helping professionals.
