The Direct Way: Thirty Practices to Evoke Awakening

Description

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 these lessons with practical pointers on how to integrate transcendent experiences into the everyday fabric of life-including your career, personal goals, and intimate relationships. No one experiences awakening quite the same way. With The Direct Way, not only will Adya show you dozens of pathways toward spiritual realization, but you will also discover an awareness as wide as the sky and as personal as your innermost heart.

Adyashanti is an American-born spiritual teacher devoted to serving the awakening of all beings. His books include Falling into Grace and The Most Important Thing. He lives in Northern California. For more, see adyashanti.org.
