Mike, this is gold-dust. Sounds True are quite possibly my favourite watering hole and this line-up is excellent. I'm signing up now.

 

[Ellen]

Yep, signed up. I doubt I can listen to them all. An abundance of riches.

Thanks, Mike.

Bumping this thread as the summit starts tomorrow so there is still time to sign up and enjoy all the goodies.

Here's a preview of the first three presentations:

Somatic Meditation and Connecting with the Source with Reginald A. Ray, PhD

Topics include:

The “bottom-up” approach of somatic meditation and how it differs from conventional “top-down” approaches, guided somatic practice for “Connecting with the Source,” including the use of 12-fold belly breathing. Instructions for breathing into what is known in Tantric Buddhism as “the secret center”

A Nourishing and Liberating RAIN with Tara Brach, PhD

Topics include:

Three primary components on a path to healing and freedom: inquiry into truth, remembering love, and embodying awareness. RAIN—Tara’s acronym for an accessible and powerful support in strengthening these domains of spiritual practice and applying them to situations where we are caught in emotional reactivity. How RAIN helps carry us home to the fullness, mystery, and beauty of our true nature, even in the midst of fear and self-doubt

Yoga Nidra: The Meditative Heart of Yoga with Richard C. Miller, PhD

Topics include:

The core components that form Yoga Nidra as a unique and inclusive approach to meditationWays in which Yoga Nidra brings us to an embodied awakening of our essential nature through personalized practice. A guided meditation through all 10 steps of the Yoga Nidra process, so we can experience a taste of interconnectedness within ourselves and all the cosmos.

I've been catching a few of these and enjoying hearing about all the different ways to meditate. Yoga Nidra seems to be especially applicable to TMS approaches, so I will definitely look more into it.

Enjoy!

 

[plum]

Hopefully I'll have time to catch it. I listened to Reggie Ray earlier. Interesting thoughts on bottom-up somatic meditations and how they utilise repressed emotional energy. I think I need two heads to juggle the flood of information.

Thanks Plum. I signed up and am enjoying the sessions. Really liked the Tara Brach session from yesterday. So glad you posted this thread!!!

[Fabi]

Thank you for posting ! I subscribed but I am not sure I completed the whole process, is it completely free or not?
I have been following night meditations I downloaded with on my phone Insight Timer. It offers free good quality meditations. Yoga Nidra for Sleep is fantastic. Anyone?

 

[Ellen]

Yes, it's completely free if you watch/listen within 24 hours.
