“The vajra body, or the body of enlightenment, is the unfettered life of the heart. It is the flow of feeling, the cascade of emotions, the emptiness and openness and complete nakedness of our sensibilities and it is knowing that what sees in us is our heart, not our mind.
The vajra body expresses itself – it’s the free flow of our expressivity as human persons, not hampered by hope and fear and not driven by personal agendas; undefended, freely given to the universe in song, in dance, in words, in poetry, in painting, in cooking, in love. Finally, the vajra body is about the free flow of the thinking mind: that thoughts arise like shooting stars, they light up the sky and they disappear.” ~Reggie Ray of the Dharma Ocean Foundation
