Product Description
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 fourteen years that he studied Zen, Adyashanti found that most seasoned meditators had used the practice as a means to a goal they never reached. What he ultimately realized: that only when you let go of all techniqueseven the concept of yourself as a meditatorwill 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 questionand determine the real answer Three guided meditations on CD intended to reveal what Adyashanti calls "your home as awareness itself " "Weve 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."

I've Enjoyed the Audio CD September 24, 2008
Very clear and cuts out the nonsense. I have both the book and the audio CD, both are good. I have a some minor technique issue differences with Adyashanti, but his "check this out for yourself" attitude is an important voice to be heard.
enjoy.

I resisted in getting this book because I thought it was a rehash of Emptiness Dancing. But it is not at all. His "True Meditation" seems to expound the true meaning of Dogen's Shikantaza that I've read about elsewhere.
Short because it's to the point, and I found the CD good for listening to one section at a time as if listening to a Dharma talk in zazen.

Adyashanti Style Meditation in a Nutshell May 18, 2008

I think this is a great book that describes the essence of Adyashanti style meditation and highly recommend it to those interested in a more open less concentration based meditation. Those of you that have listened to or attended satsangs with Adyashanti will have heard everything in this book at one time or another. The beauty of the book is it brings all his teachings on meditation together in short succinct chapters each one explaining a simple point in some detail. When experimenting with the meditation style as questions arise, which they undoubtedly will, one can easily pinpoint the chapter that may help answer the question.

I teach anger management and depression classes for a hospital and have been looking for some meditations on CD to bring to class. I got this three CD set today, and went right to the meditation on the third CD called "Allow Everything To Be As It Is." I listened to it once to see if I could use it- because if it had any overt spiritual references I wouldn't be able to- and then took it to class to play for them. It worked out really, really well. I especially appreciate the wisdom and technique demonstrated in allowing the listener to let go of the meditator in the meditation. This practice makes so much sense to me. I imagine I will be back with more appreciation of this CD set after I have experienced the rest of it. It is just that I liked it so much, and my class liked the meditation we did so much I just couldn't wait to tell you!
