Discovering our true nature could be called the discovery of emptiness--of the vast stillness and loving silence that lies beyond and within all that exists. Our lives are the dance of this emptiness as it flowers into form. "Emptiness Dancing" offers dynamic teachings that come directly from this emptiness and draw the open heart into profound realization. Adyashanti reveals valuable insights and explores important themes relevant to those seeking and deepening into the Truth. He shares an enlightened perspective on the seeker's struggle, the joys and challenges of spiritual awakening, the symptoms of spiritual addiction, the essence of sacred relationship, the true meaning of enlightenment, the simple secret to being happy..

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 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 on CD 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.".

For those serious about enlightenment, author and teacher Adyashanti has some advice: better know what you're getting into. Because with spiritual awakening, you find that the strongly held beliefs and perceptions you've taken to be "you" and "your world" vanish into the unmanifest nature of all that is. The End of Your World presents a landmark six-CD course on the reality of enlightenment and the total "re-wiring" of your being that accompanies it--what Adyashanti calls "our journey into the infinite, our true nature as pure consciousness itself.".

"The beauty of this collection of Nirmala's talks and dialogues is that it covers much of the spectrum of spiritual awakening, from the initial experience of one's true nature to the practical challenges, which always call for a deeper seeing and deeper understanding of how spirit manifests as all of life and beyond....Nirmala welcomes whatever arises within the field of experience. In the midst of this welcoming is always an invitation to inquire deeply within, to the core of who and what you are. Again and again, Nirmala points the questions back to the questioner and beyond to the very source of existence itself-to the faceless awareness that holds both the question and the questioner in a timeless embrace." -From the foreword by Adyashanti..

Return to Essence by Gina Lake describes how to get into the flow and stay there and how to live life from there. Being in the flow and not being in the flow are two very different states. One is dominated by the ego-driven mind, which is the cause of suffering, while the other is the domain of essence, the divine within each of us. We are meant to live in the flow. The flow is the experience of essence--our true self--as it lives life through us and fulfills its purpose for this life. You will learn what the flow is, how it feels, and what you find there; how the ego/mind and conditioning keep you out of the flow; how to get back into the flow; how action, talking, knowing, and choosing come out of the flow; how to discover where the flow is going; and how to find and fulfill your life's purpose. Exercises throughout provide an opportunity for practicing and integrating the understanding..

Anatomy of Desire by Gina Lake won't help you get what you want, but it will help you want what you get. It will help you understand desire and its purpose in your life, it will help you discriminate between your Heart's desires and false ones, and it will help you relate to your desires in a way that reduces suffering and increases joy. It is essentially a book about how to be happy regardless of your desires. It points out many of the myths about desire, which keep you tied to them and the suffering they create. So, it is also about spiritual freedom, or liberation, which comes from letting the Heart guide you instead of the ego. It is ultimately about becoming a lover of life rather than a desirer because these two things-love and desire-are at odds, and you must choose between them. What do you really want? Do you want what you want or do you want love?.
