True Meditation: Discover the Freedom of Pure Awareness
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
• Two 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."
Not a beginning book but very helpful in some areas that I seemed to hang up on. It was also very much the go do it book. It is not an entertaining story but is insightful, educating and motivated me to be more steady in my practice. I very rarely give a book more than 3 stars.
This is a fantastic book. While I find the author profoundly arrogant in person, his written work is excellent and manages to assume a more balanced tone than his speech. In my own practice, I have found moving beyond concentration to an open awareness and acceptance of whatever arises to be not just helpful but essential. His reasoning and explanations ring very true.
Adya is one of my fav authors. In this book, he answers questions on meditation. I meditate for an hour every day and I have so many questions in my mind. Like, so many things happen to you when you are in that state. Adyashanti answers most of those questions. But my fav book of his will always be Falling Into Grace. I simply loved that book and can read it a hundred times. I would strongly encourage my GR family to read Adya's books. I have another one of his lined up on my reading shelf: The
What a load of crap! The author makes bold assertions with no basis and I'm sure that people just eat it up. This was a waste of time and yet another failed example of Eastern religion or philosophy.

True Meditation Put certain phrases togetherLike lightening rodsThat pierced through to the natural unfolding of awareness.He described the energetic open space that I feel when I feel in tune and aligned in my power, as the awareness I was "searching" for, what I relax into, and that has been remarkable to read directly, as I have so experienced. I also really enjoyed his discussion on sincerity and integrity. Definitely many notes, and certainly recommendations of all I've read by Adyashanti.

Relation As Books True Meditation: Discover the Freedom of Pure Awareness
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 14 years that he studied Zen, Adyashanti found that most seasoned meditators had used the practice as "an end instead of a means to an end." What he ultimately realized was 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

Unlike other books on meditation, Adayshanti focuses on the core Philosophy of meditation. In this short book he discusses the correct attitude of a meditator, what our "goals" (later on you'd read how there are no true "goals" as a meditator) as meditator should be and what we can expect out of it.What really stuck with me was the attitude part where he advices the reader to let go of the control of our brain in order to make it an ally, because forcing our brain to stop entertaining thoughtsNot a beginning book but very helpful in some areas that I seemed to hang up on.
