In his 15 years as a spiritual teacher, Adyashanti has found that the simpler the teaching, the greater its power to change our lives.   In Falling into Grace, he shares what he considers fundamental insights that will “… spark a revolution in the way we perceive life”. Available in CD or book format, here is a progressive inquiry exploring:  The human dilemma—the concept of a separate self and the choice to stop believing the thoughts that perpetuate suffering • “Taking the backward step” into the pure potential of the present moment • Why spiritual awakening can be a disturbing process • Intimacy and availability—feeling absolute union with every part of our experience • True autonomy—the unique expression of our own sense of freedom In the same way that we fall into the arms of a loved one or drop our heads on the pillow at night, we can surrender into the beauty and truth of who and what we really are. Falling into Grace is an investigation into the core of why we suffer. It's also Adyashanti’s invitation “… to be taken by a moment of grace and fall into a sense of life when it is not separate from you, when life is actually an expression of something indefinable, mysterious, and immense.”","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":54981109612917,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54981109776757,"sku":"NIN9781604079371","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/6996\/5613\/files\/1604079371.jpg?v=1738849029"},{"product_id":"resurrecting-jesus-book-adyashanti-9781622037636","title":"Resurrecting Jesus","description":"For almost two millennia, the story of Jesus has shaped the lives of countless people. Yet today, even though the majority of us grew up in a culture suffused by the mythos of Jesus, many of us feel disconnected from the essence of his teachings. With Resurrecting Jesus, Adyashanti invites us to rediscover the life and words of Jesus as a direct path to the most radical of transformations: spiritual awakening.  Jesus crossed all of the boundaries that separated the people of his time because he viewed the world from the perspective of what unites us, not what divides us. In Resurrecting Jesus, Adya embarks on a fascinating reconsideration of the man known as Jesus, examining his life from birth to Resurrection to reveal a timeless model of awakening and enlightened engagement with the world. Through close consideration of the archetypal figures and events of the Gospels, Adya issues a call to \"live the Christ\" in a way that is unique to each of us.  \"When the eternal and the human meet,\" writes Adya, \"that’s where love is born—not through escaping our humanity or trying to disappear into transcendence, but through finding that place where they come into union.\" Resurrecting Jesus is a book for realizing this union in your own life, with heart and mind wide open to the mystery inside us all.   With an all-new foreword by Episcopalian priest and scholar Cynthia Bourgeault.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":54981575278965,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54981575508341,"sku":"NIN9781622037636","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/6996\/5613\/files\/1622037634.jpg?v=1738851784"},{"product_id":"end-of-your-world-book-adyashanti-9780369307644","title":"The End of Your World","description":"More and more people are ''waking up'' spiritually.

And for most of them, the question becomes: now what? “Information about life after awakening is usually not made public,” explains Adyashanti. “It’s most often shared only between teachers and their students.” The End of Your World is his response to a growing need for direction on the spiritual path. Consider the book you hold in your hands Adyashanti’s personal welcome to “a new world, a state of oneness.”   Adyashanti begins by describing the “I got it\/I lost it” phenomenon that perplexes so many of his students—the fluctuation between what he calls “nonabiding” awakening and the ultimate state of “abiding” enlightenment. With straight talk and penetrating insight, Adyashanti then points out the pitfalls and cul-de-sacs that “un-enlighten” us along the journey, including the trap of meaninglessness, how the ego can “co-opt” realization for its own purposes, the illusion of superiority that may accompany intense spiritual breakthroughs, and the danger of becoming “drunk on emptiness.” “Full awakening comes when you sincerely look at yourself, deeper than you’ve imagined, and question everything,” teaches Adyashanti. The End of Your World is your invitation to join Adyashanti for an honest investigation of what you really are—and how to live once you discover it.

Chapter Eleven:  The Natural State  Chapter Twelve:  The Story of the Wedding  Chapter Thirteen:  An Interview With Adyashanti     Excerpt     There’s a phenomenon happening in the world today.  More and more people are waking up—having real, authentic glimpses of reality.  By this I mean that people seem to be having moments where they awaken out of their familiar senses of self, and out of their familiar senses of what the world is, into a much greater reality—into something far beyond anything they knew existed.  These experiences of awakening differ from person to person. For some, the awakening is sustained over time, while for others the glimpse is momentary—it may last just a split second.  But in that instant, the whole sense of “self” disappears.  The way people perceive the world suddenly changes, and they find themselves without any sense of separation between themselves and the world.  It can be likened to the experience of waking up from a dream—a dream you didn’t even know you were in until you were jolted out of it.  In the beginning of my teaching work, most of the people who came to me were seeking these deeper realizations of spirituality.  They were seeking to wake up from the limited and isolated senses of self they had imagined themselves to be.  It’s this yearning that underpins all spiritual seeking: to discover for ourselves what we already intuit to be true—that there is more to life than we are currently perceiving.  But as time has passed, more and more people are coming to me who have already had glimpses of this greater reality.  It is because of them that I am giving the teachings of this book.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":55045978128757,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":55045978325365,"sku":"NIN9781591797791","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/6996\/5613\/files\/B00KEUC9UA.jpg?v=1739415608"},{"product_id":"most-important-thing-book-adyashanti-9781683641919","title":"The Most Important Thing","description":"From esteemed teacher Adyashanti, a collection of writings on the search for the ultimate reality beneath the narrative of our lives  \"Our inner lives are every bit as astonishing, baffling, and mysterious as the infinite vastness of the cosmos.\" —Adyashanti   We all define our lives through the lens of stories. Whether we see ourselves as heroes or victims, good people or bad, everyone lives according to interwoven strands of narrative.   \"And yet,\" teaches Adyashanti, \"the truth is bigger than any concept or story.\"   Drawn from intimate, deep-dive talks, The Most Important Thing presents writings devoted to the search for the ultimate reality of a self that exists beyond the bounds of storytelling.   Here you will find vivid anecdotes and teaching stories that illuminate the felt experience of Adyashanti’s teachings—those moments of grace in which every stone, tree, ray of light, and fraught silence reveal that none of us is alone and no one is ever truly isolated from the whole of existence.   These selections consider:  Exploration of the true meaning of birth, life, and death • Why grace can arrive both through struggle and as an unexpected gift • Meditation as the art of \"listening with one’s entire being\" • Why a good question can be far more powerful than a concrete answer • How the things you choose to serve shape your life • Discovering the wisdom found in surprise, sadness, and uncertainty • Embodying your innate and inextricable connection with the total environment • The nature of ego and the ways it manifests • The moments of grace upon which all great religions pivot What is the story of your life? Is it happy or adventurous? Sad or lonely? In The Most Important Thing, Adyashanti shows you how to look past your personal narratives, delve inward, and connect with the truths that fundamentally animate all of us.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":55058310332789,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":55058310463861,"sku":"NIN9781683641919","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/6996\/5613\/files\/1683641914.jpg?v=1739509994"},{"product_id":"true-meditation-book-adyashanti-9781649634498","title":"True Meditation","description":"Practical instruction and three guided sessions in Adya's unique approach to meditation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":56958997725557,"sku":"NIN9781649634498","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":57265158226293,"sku":"NGR9781649634498","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/6996\/5613\/files\/9781649634498.jpg?v=1774098147"},{"product_id":"direct-way-book-adyashanti-9781649631268","title":"The Direct Way","description":"Originally created as an online course called The Wake Up Challenge, the 30 practices that make up this potent exploration of awakening are the most direct and distilled teachings on enlightenment that Adyashanti has ever offered.
