Zen master Julian Daizan Skinner guides the listener through a sequence of meditation techniques that can safely lead even a complete novice through to advanced levels. Based on his own long experience of the Rinzai Zen tradition, as taught by the great 17th-century masters Hakuin and Bankei, Daizan highlights the key points for success and addresses the pitfalls. Structured around a traditional teaching framework called 'the two wings of a bird', Daizan clearly lays-out how these methods build and combine to create a transformative and sustaining practice.

"So many of us hold a deep belief that we were born unworthy," reflects Adyashanti, "inadequate, unlovable, and alone." But what if, in truth, we weren't put here to pay penance, change our karma, or "fix" ourselves? What if we chose to be here because we so loved the world that we poured ourselves into it - to make it whole again, to restore "the hidden divinity amid the disaster"? With Healing the Core Wound of Unworthiness, we're invited to entertain that possibility.

One thousand years ago in the valley of Kashmir, a great Tantric master named Ksemaraja wrote his masterpiece: the Pratyabhijna-hrdaya, which means "The Essence of the Recognition Philosophy" - recognition, that is, of oneself as a direct expression of the universal divine Consciousness. Recognition also that this Consciousness is, in truth, all that exists, and that its five fundamental powers of awareness, enjoyment, willing, knowing, and acting are the sacred endowments of every sentient being.

In this book of key spiritual teachings from unpublished discourses, the great Advaita Master, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, teaches us that we are not limited to the body. Because of our mistaken body identity, we feel separate from what we truly are. Our identification with the body and mind subjects us to endless cycles of pleasure and pain, desire and fear, which cause us to search beyond ourselves for that which we believe we lack.

The Bhagavad Gita is a gem so precious in India's spiritual treasury that many regard it not as a volume of sacred verse, but as a living manifestation of the Divine. In the summer of 1974, inside a balmy Boulder, Colorado, warehouse that served as a main hall of a fledgling Naropa Institute, some say a minor miracle occured: the reawakening of the Gita's living presence, as it unfolded in a series of wisdom teachings led by Ram Dass.

Summary
"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".

Guidance from a true spiritual master
With a lovely tone of voice and from a place of true spritual grounding Adyashanti offers beautiful guidance and pointers into your true core. One of the greatest thing about this book is how Adyashanti dismantles the obstacles to true meditation - your expectations on how medition should be and your effort on trying to accomplish certain states.

Not Bad
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
This book in theory I would recommend doing a chapter at a time
Has True Meditation put you off other books in this genre?
The Contents of the book is very heavy in places and very lacking regarding the source of meditation content. It was not very helpful as a starter for anyone who does meditation not much content or wisdom at all.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Adyashanti?
I would recommend the author. But the narrator at the end had a really annoying voice and got a bit on my nerves.
Did True Meditation inspire you to do anything?

Very Nice, Different and Refreshing
In reading other reader comments I almost didn't buy this, so now I am writing a review to aid those who might make the mistake of not getting this. Other sites reviewers rated this very highly, but another reviewer here said it was not as described and no mediation techiniques were offered. I disagree.
I think that reader may have been looking for a more guided form of meditation technique. This author teaches you to let go of trying to control your meditative practice and experience it on a more organic level. It is very effective if you are looking to examine deep meditation with an emphasis on spirtual awakening rather than guided meditation for relaxation or to achieve other goals. Very very nice, relaxing and easy to understand.

He has a sense of humour.. while still getting to the point

He's the real deal
If you could sum up True Meditation in three words, what would they be?
Everything this guy talks about, I identify and relate with. He writes from real experiences and insights he discovered on his own and not through outside sources, or made up to make it sound poetic or philosophical. I know this because I've done the same and came to the exact same truths and insights. It's like reading my own thoughts on awakening and what it means, only it sounds better coming from him.
What did you like best about this story?
It's a true account of his experiences with awareness.
What about Adyashanti’s performance did you like?
You can't tell he's reading from his book. It sounds like conversation.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
True Meditation
Any additional comments?
I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand what real meditation is. If you don't fully understand what he talks about, it's only because you haven't had his experiences. But trust me, it's all true and if you DO understand what he writes about, it's a bit mind blowing.

A mind blowing speech
A cut through all the meditation obstacles, especially those which make you chase your tails. Got shocked at the end with a radical shift in awareness. I was asking “ what am I” and found out that there is no one is asking, the one who was asking the question, was the same who was looking for the one who was asking, its funny and super deep and radical. Experienced the non-dual self recognition, and at the same time, I saw the dual, illusive self/reality or ego.
Highly recommended.

Adyashantis teaching is great, rest is not
I really like Adyashanti's teachings because it goes from his personal experience, no one's else and his realization can be seen sort of radiating from him.
I didnt like music and songs between and I for this price it's kind of short - so that's why I have those lower stars on story and performance.

See for yourself what I tell you to see
Generally I like Adyashanti and this was no exception. However I have to say that in the meditations there's quite a bit of directing what the experience is supposed to be. Which wouldn't bug me if he didn't emphasize "your own experience" so much.
Maybe it works for some.

This is a different appt to meditation then I've
This is a different appt to meditation then I've heard before. Everyone I've worked with in person says to follow the breath or a Mantra. If you have a thought you ignore it and return to the breath or Mantra. Here the author says to toss thess and other techniques out and just sit! What do you do when you're confronted with an angry person? Focus on the breath? A Mantra? You focus on who you really are without ego.
Go threw this teaching and apply it. If you do you'll see a path to let anger and such leave your life. I combined this with Don't Bite That Hook and I found myself with e angry for a day. Try it yourself.
