Publisher's Summary

What would happen if you were to allow everything to be exactly as it is? If you gave up the need for control, and instead embraced the whole of your experience in each moment that arose? In the 14 years that he studied Zen, Adyashanti found that most seasoned meditators had used the practice as a means to a goal they never reached. Ultimately, he realized that only when you let go of all techniques, even the concept of yourself as a meditator, will you open to the art of true meditation: dwelling in the natural state. True Meditation invites you to join the growing number of seekers who have been touched by the wisdom of Adyashanti to learn:
  • How to make the "effortless effort" that will vivify the present moment
  • Meditative self-inquiry and "The Way of Subtraction": how to ask a spiritually powerful question, and determine the real answer
  • Three guided meditations intended to reveal what Adyashanti calls "your home as awareness itself"

    "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".

    Now i know that i can meditate with this direction

    I love everything about this author, he is a breath of fresh air. However this book on meditation is much needed if you want/can allow transformation through letting go of what is and control /my will. No longer a rigid way to meditate but meditation as a tool to explore a more wholistic perspective with the deep power of a spiritual enquiry. I just love this freeing body - mind connection and not just emptying the mind but a pure listening of you and the pure awareness.

    A helpful book for new or old meditators

    I really appreciated the confidence that Adyashanti brings to his writing about meditation. I can tell he writes from his own experience and he keeps the discussion as simple as possible. He does not put down other view points traditions, but provides examples that augmented his perspective and you end up understanding more about meditation and really want to try to incorporate more meditation in your day. #Audible1
