Intimate Openness

Recognizing the vast nature of unified reality is a significant shift in our spiritual unfolding. But in order to fully mature spiritually, we must also access qualities of softness, openness, and vulnerability that bring a more intimate relationship with everything inside and outside. In this talk, Adyashanti encourages us to completely surrender our guardedness and live from our essential and natural openness—to the point that we experience deep intimacy and closeness of heart with all of life.

• Vast View vs. Intimate View
