Falling into Grace

Insights on the End of Suffering

By: Adyashanti

Narrated by: Adyashanti

Adyashanti asks us to let go of our struggles with life and open to the full promise of spiritual awakening: the end of delusion and the discovery and expression of our essential being. After 15 years as a spiritual teacher, Adyashanti has found that the simpler the teaching, the greater its power to initiate this awakening.

On Falling into Grace, he shares what he considers fundamental insights to "open ourselves to that mysterious element that enters in the hidden and quiet moments and sparks a revolution in the way that we perceive life." Wherever you may be on your own spiritual path, you will find in these sessions down-to-earth guidance on breaking the trance of ego, experiencing the raw energy of emotion, cultivating inner stability, transcending the world of opposites, and more.

In the same way that we fall into the arms of a loved one or drop our heads on the pillow at night, we can surrender into the beauty and truth of who and what we really are. Falling into Grace is a program that gets to the core of why we suffer, and allows us to explore Adyashanti's invitation "to be taken by a moment of grace and fall into a sense of life when it is not separate from you, when life is actually an expression of something indefinable, mysterious, and immense."

Highlights:

• The human dilemma - the concept of a separate self and the choice to stop believing the thoughts that perpetuate suffering
• “Taking the backward step” into the pure potential of the present moment
• Why spiritual awakening can be a disturbing process
• Intimacy and availability - feeling absolute union with every part of our experience
• True autonomy - the unique expression of our own sense of freedom

Very spiritual and helpful

This book really helped me with acceptance of "what is".. Even when "what is" seems unfair and horrible, it's part of reality and it helped me learn to be more accepting snd happy regardless of what may have happened in the past or whatever may happen in the future.
I loved it.

Very good listen

Adyashanti gives a very deep talk on the nature of self and explains how we can't "escape life" or "escape existence". I like this audio book very much.

A blueprint to Grace

Read by Adyashanti himself, that should tell you it will be awesome. Adyashanti gives his undivided attention into this book with 100% passion in each sentence. The book is mesmerizing and is on repeat.

Beautiful

I love that the author decided to record his own voice for the audiobook. His awakened heart and mind come through in the way that he expresses the words in his book. This is the way to really receive the message that is being given. What a beautiful way of putting everything. I recommend this book to literally everyone who is mature enough to hear what he is saying. Even if you aren’t, maybe a seed will be planted where something special happens to you and you remember something in this book that relates to that experience. Pick it up, and listen when you can reeaaaally listen. Not in the car on the way to work. Not while you are doing something else. Sit down alone, and LISTEN. Not just to the words, but the way he says them. To your inner body and how you feel as you listen.
Allow your life to expand and bloom.

Already on replay!

I absolutely loved it. This is.... everything and more. The words and voice of Adyashanti bathe the soul in love.

Fantastic!

Do yourself a favor and listen to this. Adya is the real deal. Thank you!

Perspective

Good explanation of thinking process to differentiate between pain and suffering. Also explains how meditation helps to achieve stillness and have right vision.

One of the most profound spiritual teachers alive today

Adyashanti is one of the most profound spiritual teachers alive today. Falling into Grace illuminates this with the clear teaching that "you are not your mind, you are the one who watches your mind".

I've read all of Adyashanti's major books. This book is fantastic as an idea to prepare for meditation but if you'd actually like to learn how to meditate read Adyashanti's "True Meditation". If you'd like to read about some of the foundations of meditations you can read Adya's "The Way of Liberation". One of the best books I've read from Adyashanti is "The End of Your World" which is the closest thing to his biography, time in Zen and his moments of awakening.

Books like this are a real gift to the world. if you've read this book, thank you.

If only everyone could hear

There but the grace of God go I. What a blessing of each of you would take a few hours and listen to this recording.

I would love to hear from you if you do.

There is nothing wrong with where you are, and nothing less than wonder with where you can go.

This recording points to key portions of the journey.

Fantastic!

I listened to this awake & when I couldn't sleep I let it be the background of my sleep as a way to give my thoughts peace through a really rough time. My favorite was when I briefly woke from a dream and heard the author state something along the lines of, "relationship is anxiety." It made me laugh and smile as I thought, "well, my separated husband and I are more in relationship now than we've ever been."
