Special guest Sally Johnson joined us to share her experience with the work of teacher and author Reginald Ray. Here is an excerpt from Ray's book, The Awakening Body:

It is as if we are waking up, within our Soma [body], and we suddenly find ourselves in a new world. We are uncovering a completely different experience of what our body is. We begin to see that what we formerly took to be our body was just a made up version with little correspondence to anything real. We find in our body previously unimaginable vistas of spaciousness, experience arising that is ever surprising and fresh, an endless world of possibilities for ourselves and our lives.

After listening to a Dharma Ocean podcast by Reginald Ray, we discussed Eugene Gendlin's book Focusing, and did contemplation exercises that helped ground the conversation in our bodies.
