“A guide into deeply integrative spiritual practice. With clarity and nuance, Ray shows us how to bring meditative awareness to the body and to listen to our most immediate and direct experience. His practice instructions are enlivening, pointing to the complete coherence of body and mind.”—Diane Musho Hamilton, author of Everything Is Workable “So many meditative practices take people away from the dark, juicy nether regions of their bodies. Using an ancient tantric practice, Reggie Ray leads us instead on a journey of exploration into our bodies and helps us communicate with the parts of us residing there that we often bypass through meditation. Through these embodiment practices we access surprising wisdom in addition to profound somatic spiritual experiences.”—Richard Schwartz, Ph.D., developer of the Internal Family Systems model of psychotherapy
