Within the Field of Stillness

Santa Cruz Satsang: 4/14/12 

As Adyashanti says in introducing this focused talk on meditation, “The pitfall of discussing meditation is that it’s misunderstood to be a technique that can be perfected.” Adyashanti explores two common approaches to meditation, limitations of those practices, and how meditation fits into the bigger context of spirituality and truth.

Topics Include:

Two Types of Meditations

The Futility of Bringing Meditation into Daily Life

Acknowledging What’s Already Here

The Energy of I Am

The Cocktail of Ego

Being Done with Improving Thought or Energy

Gaining Absolutely Nothing

Co-Dependent Relationships

The Eyes of Truth and Love
