For those who are seeking a path of simplicity, not bound by the trappings of spiritual practice, Adyashanti brings a fresh and humble approach to Zen wisdom. "Don't think that awakening is the end," teaches Adyashanti. "Awakening is the end of seeking, the end of the seeker, but it is the beginning of a life lived from your true nature."

Deeply meaningful

I've been a meditator and student of spirituality since age 17, about 46 years now. I have read hundreds, possibly thousands of books on the topic of awakening. Adyashanti is the real deal, by far the most accessible and easy to understand, and his spontaneity and joy are infectious. He is able to convey his state both through his words and in a way that completely transcends words. If you've only read his books, hearing his voice is a revelation.

I have been listening to this audiobook during the day and then at night to help me sleep. I woke up at 4 AM, this title still playing, just in time to hear Adya describe his awakening experience. Something subtle and profound shifted in resonance with his words.

What made the experience of listening to Spontaneous Awakening the most enjoyable?

Adyashanti has a clear, simple style that spoke to my core. On chapter 2 I just fell through.

What other book might you compare Spontaneous Awakening to and why?

The Untethered Soul the journey beyond yourself. Both books have a clear, simple way to point the way. The first crack opened listening to the untethered Soul when I heard the explanation that the consciousness that awakens is the same consciousness that awakens in a spiritual awakening.

And I awoke!

This guy is amazing. I have both of his speeches that are available here, and recommend them both VERY VERY VERY highly. His views on being awake are actually liberating (no joke). He teaches that being AWAKE is really not hard, and that in his opinion there are a lot more AWAKE people than you realize ... MAYBE EVEN YOU.
You can hear his authentic-ness in his voice. Very easy too listen too. He leads you through a couple guided meditations. This is basically the teaching he gave at a retreat. I would love to meet this guy!!!

I agree MIND BLOWING

Such a slow experience to take in this teaching. That's why it feels true. You can tell that this man knows what he's talking about. He's so sure, yet so sincere and free of hype.

Adya's sincere teaching is a miracle.

There is a freshness and freedom offered here with simplicity and gentle grace. It draws me in to the path with no path.

loved it.

If you are wondering what life will be like once you've experienced awakening...this is very helpful. Even if you haven't had the experience; listening to Adya is very helpful--a good reminder to just be as you are; as you always have been.

Great for Awakened Minds
