Embodied Spiritual Practice |
|
To support the launch of our Sunday Community Practice program (see more below), this month’s newsletter includes new articles by Adyashanti and Mukti on the essential subject of embodied spiritual practice. In addition, we highlight Adya’s new book The Direct Way in which he outlines specific methods of practice.

“When we are engaging in spiritual practice from the viewpoint of boundless reality, there is no subject and object, no ‘me’ seeking something from practice, and no seeking outside of oneself or outside of the present.

Sunday Community Practice |

“My intention with the Sunday Community Practice sessions is to put more focus on the spiritual practice of meditation, and to have the teachings be oriented toward the various aspects of effective spiritual practice as it is integrated and lived in daily life.”
~ Adyashanti

The community welcomes all who wish to meditate on a consistent basis and dedicate themselves to making enlightened living a significant priority in their lives. Single practice sessions are also available.

Featured Book
The Direct Way
by Adyashanti
Every single moment contains a doorway into spiritual awakening. But what does it actually mean to “wake up” to the truth of reality? And what does it take to recognize these opportunities?
In The Direct Way, Adyashanti offers a sequence of 30 practices intended to connect with and cultivate ever-greater awareness of the unseen dimensions of your being.
