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".

    Absolutely STUNNING

    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.

    Guidance from a true spiritual master

    With a lovely tone of voice and from a place of true spritual grounding Adyashanti offers beautiful guidance and pointers into your true core. One of the greatest thing about this book is how Adyashanti dismantles the obstacles to true meditation - your expectations on how medition should be and your effort on trying to accomplish certain states.

    An excellent guide to the serious spiritual seeker

    As with all Adya's books this is an excellent guide to the serious spiritual seeker. Explained in Adya's easy to understand style, very thought provoking and illuminating. Thank you Adya for all your books you have helped so many people in their spiritual search for awareness.

    Not Bad

    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

    Brilliant intro to meditation

    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.

    Beautifully taught and expertly guided meditation.

    A valuable addition to the existing teachings, practices and variations of meditative techniques. A very worthwhile experience.
