Join renowned spiritual teacher Adyashanti for a practice-based
journey out of the thinking mind and into the awakened awareness beyond
perceptual reality.
For renowned teacher Adyashanti, every single moment contains a doorway
into spiritual awakening. But what does it actually mean to "wake up" to
the truth of reality? And what does it take to recognize these
opportunities?
In The Direct Way, Adya (as his students call him) offers a sequence
of 30 practices intended to connect with and cultivate ever-greater
awareness of the unseen dimensions of your being. From the simple
expression of "I am," to an exploration of the Spiritual Heart, and all
the way into the fundamental ground of being, these exercises emphasize
that the process of awakening takes "many small glimpses, experienced
many times." Adya concludes with practical pointers on how to integrate
transcendent experiences into the everyday fabric of life--including
your career, personal goals, and intimate relationships.
Here you will discover:
- How to dis-identify from conceptual, ego-based thinking
- Perceiving the ego as a tool to navigate consciousness rather than an
obstacle
- The "knowing yet empty" quality of foundational awareness
- The surprising route to realizing awareness of the Spiritual Heart
- Feeling through the Spiritual Heart as a way to experience true
interconnection
- The meaning of the Zen teaching phrase, "This very body is the
Buddha"
- Exploring the exhilarating paradox of Being and Becoming
- How to establish anchor points to stabilize your journey into the
Ground of Being
- What it means to live each day with "enlightened relativity"
- How awakening puts control of your experience in your hands--but also
the responsibility for it
No one experiences awakening quite the same. With The Direct Way, join
Adya to discover pathways toward an awareness as wide as the sky and as
personal as your innermost heart.
