About this listen

 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".

    Some great pointers but lacked clear instructions.

    I did enjoy this recording of Adyashanti’s. It was mainly a collection of talks or conversations related to three different stances on meditation- letting go of control, letting be what is, and the essence of self-inquiry. There were some excellent pointers and points brought up and explored. All the right “words” were there. However, I felt that some simple, clear instructions and time set aside for the listener to inquire or reflect themselves in silence would have been valuable to include. Without this time, the work tends to be a passive listening and all too easily brushed over or taken on as a new belief system. There needs to be some actual experience in these three stances explained, and without some clear instructions or time set aside, it seems lacking. Still, overall a good audio.
