TRUE MEDITATION

Spiritual teacher Adyashanti invites listeners to reclaim the original purpose of meditation and to experience the "freedom of meditation beyond technique." Adyashanti points out that meditative practices themselves can become ritualized distractions. The first part of this program begins with an invitation to reconsider meditation and ends with thoughts on how to bring it into daily life; the second part explores the concept of meditative inquiry; and the third offers guided meditations to put these teachings into action. Adyashanti's ability to speak naturally, as though explaining his ideas, while remaining succinct is impressive. He's also blessed with a soothing, unassuming voice and the ability to put across his abstract ideas simply, in ways that return quietly to the mind later.
