For those who are seeking a path of simplicity, not bound by the trappings of spiritual practice, Adyashanti brings a fresh and humble approach to Zen wisdom. "Don't think that awakening is the end," teaches Adyashanti. "Awakening is the end of seeking, the end of the seeker, but it is the beginning of a life lived from your true nature."
Caution Spiritual Seekers: You Might Just Find What You're Looking For! Underneath the turmoil of thought, emotion, and personal will, there is a flow. If you're reading these words, you've probably felt it - the natural movement of life, the truth that beckons below the surface of things. What would happen if you were to stop avoiding this universal energy, and instead completely embrace it?
Beneath all our bustling thoughts and the distracting dramas of the world, an ever-present stillness beckons us to our true home. "Meditation is a tool for returning to our essential nature," says Adyashanti. With Guided Meditations, this groundbreaking spiritual teacher offers four immersive audio sessions of meditations created to enrich your practice and help you become a more open, loving, and benevolent presence in the world.
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."
The life of Jesus offers each one of us a map to the direct realization of our eternal and divine nature. On Resurrecting Jesus, Adyashanti excavates the deep, mythic underpinnings of the Gospels to show how we can all find in the story of Jesus the spark for our own spiritual unfolding. Jesus crossed all of the boundary lines that separated the people of his time because he viewed the world from the perspective of what unites us, not what divides us.
"So many of us hold a deep belief that we were born unworthy," reflects Adyashanti, "inadequate, unlovable, and alone." But what if, in truth, we weren't put here to pay penance, change our karma, or "fix" ourselves? What if we chose to be here because we so loved the world that we poured ourselves into it - to make it whole again, to restore "the hidden divinity amid the disaster"? With Healing the Core Wound of Unworthiness, we're invited to entertain that possibility.

A contemplative journey into self-inquiry and the "way of subtraction". Adayshanti invites us to explore the original purpose of meditation: a gateway to the objectless freedom of being...of awareness itself, beyond the notion of "myself".
We've been taught that awakening is difficult, teaches Adyashanti, and that to wake up from the illusion of separation takes years. But all it really takes is a willingness to look into the depths of our experience here and now. In this refreshing "non-meditation" session, Adyashanti invites you to let go of all techniques, even the concept of yourself as a meditator, and just let everything be as it is.
To be spiritually awake is to deeply feel your connection with the whole of life. The One of Us is an exploration of this sacred connection as it expresses through two human partners. In their first full-length audio-learning program, Adyashanti and Mukti present six sessions to help each of us - whether preparing for or currently in a relationship - to realize and honor this connection, to protect it, and to begin to move, speak, and act in alignment with the love that lives all of us.
One thousand years ago in the valley of Kashmir, a great Tantric master named Ksemaraja wrote his masterpiece: the Pratyabhijna-hrdaya, which means "The Essence of the Recognition Philosophy" - recognition, that is, of oneself as a direct expression of the universal divine Consciousness. Recognition also that this Consciousness is, in truth, all that exists, and that its five fundamental powers of awareness, enjoyment, willing, knowing, and acting are the sacred endowments of every sentient being.
More people are "waking up" spiritually, discovering a sense of identity beyond any ideas of a seperate self. In the Dawning of Awakening, Adyashanti describeswhat he calls the virtual reality of everyday exsistence, and what happens when we begin to emerge from this dream into a much vaster world.
Known to the world as Papaji, Sri HWL Poonja introduced Satsang to the West. Eli Jaxon-Bear, who met Papaji before he was well known, set out on a mission of spreading Papaji's name and teachings to everyone. Wake Up and Roar: Satsang with Papaji is the profound result. It continues to thrive as a living teaching, awakening truth seekers with authentic and grounded wisdom from this great, beloved modern sage.
Teachings and meditations to "shift" into the freedom of awakening. It is possible to access the same sense of well-being, clarity, inner freedom, and loving connection realized by the world's meditation masters. We can do this by shifting our awareness in the midst of our daily lives. Shift into Freedom is an unabridged audiobook presentation of innovative teacher Loch Kelly's training manual for actively participating in the evolution of your own consciousness.
In Who Are You?, American-born spiritual teacher Gangaji spells out the bedrock principles of self-inquiry, a cluster of no-nonsense concepts that reveal how to effortlessly step outside limited psychological conditioning and mental constructs into the freedom, expansiveness, and peace of your own true nature.
Our most cherished times are those occasions when we feel open, loving, free of worry yet able to respond when needed. Loch Kelly calls this the expression of open-hearted awareness, our natural foundation of mind that arises effortlessly whenever we step out of the usual mode of consciousness known as ego-identification. Created as a stand-alone program or a complement to his book of the same name, Shift into Freedom is a progressive training guide that offers "small glimpses, many times" to help us shift out of our chattering mind and into who we really are.
In The Meditation Summit: Volume II, Sounds True publisher and founder Tami Simon speaks with 10 leading meditation teachers about their personal understanding of this practice - each with a complete guided meditation. Practitioners of all levels will benefit from the abundance of insight and guidance provided by these diverse voices.
A somatic training program to open your heart to the world. There is no more powerful vehicle for knowing yourself and others than the human heart. For it is through the opening of the heart that we touch our own deepest experience, and come to connect with each other. In Awakening the Heart, Volume 1, Dr. Reggie Ray presents an in-depth somatic training curriculum designed to help us dismantle the walls around our hearts and dwell in bodhicitta (literally "awakened heart-mind").
Have you ever felt that you’ve yet to be fully and truly alive? That just beyond reach, there might be something far more vast, immediate, and real? "What you’ve sensed was the ‘absolute You’ beckoning," teaches Gangaji, "the boundless awareness and love that is your true nature." And with The Greatest Discovery, you are invited to answer that call to this ecstatic expanse of being.
"We've been taught that awakening is difficult," explains Adyashanti, "that to wake up from the illusion of separation takes years. But all it really takes is a willingness to look into the depths of your experience here and now." True Meditation gives you the opportunity to reclaim the original purpose of meditation, as a gateway to "the objectless freedom of being".
In reading other reader comments I almost didn't buy this, so now I am writing a review to aid those who might make the mistake of not getting this. Other sites reviewers rated this very highly, but another reviewer here said it was not as described and no mediation techiniques were offered. I disagree.
I think that reader may have been looking for a more guided form of meditation technique. This author teaches you to let go of trying to control your meditative practice and experience it on a more organic level. It is very effective if you are looking to examine deep meditation with an emphasis on spirtual awakening rather than guided meditation for relaxation or to achieve other goals. Very very nice, relaxing and easy to understand.

If you could sum up True Meditation in three words, what would they be?
Everything this guy talks about, I identify and relate with. He writes from real experiences and insights he discovered on his own and not through outside sources, or made up to make it sound poetic or philosophical. I know this because I've done the same and came to the exact same truths and insights. It's like reading my own thoughts on awakening and what it means, only it sounds better coming from him.
What did you like best about this story?
It's a true account of his experiences with awareness.
What about Adyashanti’s performance did you like?
You can't tell he's reading from his book. It sounds like conversation.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
True Meditation
Any additional comments?
I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand what real meditation is. If you don't fully understand what he talks about, it's only because you haven't had his experiences. But trust me, it's all true and if you DO understand what he writes about, it's a bit mind blowing.

This book is pristine! It has explained meditation and inquiry in a way that has opened my experience to a profound depth. I absolutely love the ra simplicity the relaxed state and turning my focus to words what is deeply true from The Source Within Me. thank you for this incredible book
I found this to be so helpful in guiding me through the never ended array of possible ways to meditate. I’ve been meditating for years but yet somehow I never really got the true purpose. This helps me let go of preconceived notions on what I ‘should’ be doing and why.
I read some of the less glowing reviews before I listened to it, and now having experienced this audio I can reflect on why one might not love Adyashanti’s take on mediation. If you are looking for someone to tell you exactly what to do, and how to do it with a step by step plan, given in a linear fashion then this may not be for you at this time. That’s just not his style of teaching, now that I’ve read many of his books and have been to his lectures in person. But don’t be mistaken, I still think this teaching on mediation is extremely potent when you are ready for it.
Adyashanti's style of meditation clicks for me. This book shifted my meditation and how I approach each moment. It is helping me bring that inner state of allowing to my everyday experience...highly recommend!
I highly recommend this book to all secrets of Truth and wisdom!👌. Enjoy the content.
It calms my mind before I go to sleep. It's very relaxing. His voice is soothing.
If you could sum up True Meditation in three words, what would they be?
This explains what happen to people who are trying to learn how to truly meditate, what it feels like to really meditate but in the wrong way.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Adyashanti, this is a very spiritual young man that seems to know what he is talking about
Which character – as performed by Adyashanti – was your favorite?
There were no characters
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Wake up

Bestt Author I've came across next to Deepak
Adiyashanti is such a wonderfully gifted and amazingly knowledgeable teacher of enlightenment and self enquiry. My mind has read/listened to hundreds of books on enlightenment, this is by far the best. Absolute gem that will speed up your journey to finding your true self hundred fold. Thank you Adiyashanti.

This is a clear and vivid audiobook on meditation. It has been hugely beneficial on my meditation journey and I love to go back to the guided meditations every now and again, for deeper clarity and understanding.
A valuable addition to the existing teachings, practices and variations of meditative techniques. A very worthwhile experience.
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
This book in theory I would recommend doing a chapter at a time
Has True Meditation put you off other books in this genre?
The Contents of the book is very heavy in places and very lacking regarding the source of meditation content. It was not very helpful as a starter for anyone who does meditation not much content or wisdom at all.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Adyashanti?
I would recommend the author. But the narrator at the end had a really annoying voice and got a bit on my nerves.
Did True Meditation inspire you to do anything?
Theory
Any additional comments?
NA
Hope this resonates with you too.
Anything by Adyshanti is well worth it.
All the guidance you need is here.
