Adyashanti Guided Meditation - Seeing through the Habits of Mind

Video Excerpted From “Silent Retreat Vol. 50 – Kanuga 2016 Meditations)”:

Quotes from this Video:

“Check in your mind and your body, to see if there’s any attitude of trying to make anything happen.”

“Just notice if there’s any slight attitude in the mind or the body of any kind of waiting for something to happen, any kind of expectation.”

“And if you find anything, just see it, don’t try to get rid of it. Just see it.”

“It’s a habit of the mind to interfere—to make those little gestures of trying to improve on the moment.”

“Even without any attempt to make it happen, there is an already occurring natural quiet and stillness. It’s there before you try to make it happen.”

“Awareness is completely functional even before you try to become aware.”

“You may notice that a lot of the quiet, stillness, and calm that people seek in meditation is already present. It’s there before you seek it.”

Oh my god, how silly have I been for so many years. Words totally fail to express.
Can't stop laughing but can't stop the tears.

Does Adyashanti see a value in having a meditation object to quiet the mind, such as concentrating on the breath?

I had a profound witnessing of the truth of my own awareness doing this meditation. So simple! Thank you!

2019 a friend recommended this video - I've done tons of talk therapy and a few years back did several mindfulness sessions (for me I think the sessions I would not have been ready for before the regular therapy I had done throughout my life), I love mindfulness because it incorporates both - and listening to this and for 10 mins "feels like good timing" for me. peace & acceptance that where you are in your life that feels unbalanced, mind/body/spirit, one can seek help for one, because if your making the effort to help yourself, the other two will follow and the pace can be very slow, which leads to frustration etc. Be kind to yourself in all of your moments. ~

Incredible meditation. The voice...the transition to go inward...the words came at the perfect time to reveal the truth of what is. Thank you.
