Falling into Grace

Insights on the End of Suffering

By: Adyashanti, Matt Licata PhD - editor

Narrated by: Adyashanti

"You've felt it your whole life. You've always known there's something inside of you that's sought to be born fresh and real–something far beyond your imagination trying to break out and be. Everyone feels this inside. But to allow life to express itself in that way, with that much abandon, requires a true surrender into the unknown."—AdyashantiAdyashanti asks us to let go of our struggles with life and open to the full promise of spiritual awakening: the end of delusion and the discovery and expression of our essential being. After 15 years as a spiritual teacher, Adyashanti has found that the simpler the teaching, the greater its power to initiate this awakening.

On Falling into Grace, he shares what he considers fundamental insights to "open ourselves to that mysterious element that enters in the hidden and quiet moments and sparks a revolution in the way that we perceive life." Wherever you may be on your own spiritual path, you will find in these sessions down-to-earth guidance on breaking the trance of ego, experiencing the raw energy of emotion, cultivating inner stability, transcending the world of opposites, and more.

In the same way that we fall into the arms of a loved one or drop our heads on the pillow at night, we can surrender into the beauty and truth of who and what we really are. Falling into Grace is a program that gets to the core of why we suffer, and allows us to explore Adyashanti's invitation "to be taken by a moment of grace and fall into a sense of life when it is not separate from you, when life is actually an expression of something indefinable, mysterious, and immense."

Highlights:

The human dilemma–the concept of a separate self and the choice to stop believing the thoughts that perpetuate suffering
• “Taking the backward step” into the pure potential of the present moment
• Why spiritual awakening can be a disturbing process
• Intimacy and availability–feeling absolute union with every part of our experience
• True autonomy–the unique expression of our own sense of freedom
Adyashanti began teaching in 1996 at the request of his Zen teacher of 14 years. Adya's teachings have been compared to some of the early Ch'an (Zen) masters of China as well as teachers of Advaita Vedanta in India. His award–winning books include Emptiness Dancing, The End of Your World, and True Meditation.

Supported me through the hardest time in my life

I listened to this book on repeat as I went through one of the hardest times in my life. My mind kept overanalyzing, ruminating, and causing all kinds of level of suffering day in and day out. But the moment I put this audiobook on its like my mind just STOPS. I regain my power and understansing of who I truly am and my mind cant help but finally stop. I kept at this book for months until finally my mind stopped in the mornings too and I regained my days and mental health. Woohoo!

Life Changer

This book will forever change the way I view my world. Hi, my name is Yolynda and I'm addicted to my struggle...

Love it

this book is great, it's my second time listening to it. I had a little better understanding this time. Life feels much better after listening to Adyshanti. Highly recommend

LISTEN TO THIS BOOK

A deep understanding an compassion emanates from Adya Shantis voice and words. The wisdom is profound. I've listened twice in a row, and will for sure get back for at third and forth listen. New understandings of the words keep popping up. I am deeply grateful for the teachings of 'this guy.'

The teaching bites a little different … a new discovery for me, to hear the words of awakening or the words of consciousness being spoken this openly, directly, and without any sweet glazing … witch just makes it even sweeter. thank you

beautiful

once again, Adya's teachings have come at the exact right time in my life. this book really gets to the heart of human illusion in the world most of us walk around in.
