Adyashanti - True Meditation
Adyashanti - True Meditation
As you gently relax into awareness, into listening, the minds compulsive
contraction around objects will fade. Silence of being will come more clearly
into consciousness as a welcoming to rest and abide. An attitude of open
receptivity, free of any goal or anticipation, will facilitate the presence of
silence and stillness to be revealed as your natural condition.
As you rest into stillness more profoundly, awareness becomes free of the
minds compulsive control, contractions, and identifications. Awareness
naturally returns to its non-state of absolute unmanifest potential, the silent
abyss beyond all knowing.
SOME COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT MEDITATION
A. Simply receive what is given with gratitude, without holding onto anything.
Trust that it will still be there when you need it.
A. Focus attention on your breathing down in your belly. This will help you to
not get lost in the images of the mind. Hold the simple intention to rest in the
imageless, silent source prior to all images, thoughts, and ideas.
