In the second part of this talk on genuineness in spirituality, Reggie says that relaxation in somatic meditation allows us to see how the forces of oppression, control, and busyness in the world are also within us. When tension in the body dissolves, we discover not only our inherent freedom, but also all the ways that we keep ourselves small.

This talk was given at the April 2006 Meditating with the Body retreat held at the Blazing Mountain Retreat Center in Crestone, CO. To find out about the upcoming Meditating with the Body retreat led by Caroline Pfohl and Manuela Mischke-Reeds, please visit www.dharmaocean.org

Episode 273: For the Welfare of All – Part I

In the second part of this talk on the training of a Bodhisattva, Reggie discusses the last five of the six paramitas: discipline, patience, exertion, meditation, and wisdom. Through examples, he shows how the truth of each paramita is not necessarily what we might think.

This talk was given at the 2003 Winter Dathün retreat held in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. To explore more of Reggie's teachings and guided meditations, please visit www.dharmaocean.org
