Three Steps to Awakening

A Practice for Bringing Mindfulness to Life

By: Larry Rosenberg, Laura Zimmerman

Narrated by: Subhash Mandal

The deceptively simple three-phase method presented here is a meditation practice that can be worked with for a lifetime. Larry Rosenberg looks to Zen, to Insight Meditation, and to the teachings of J. Krishnamurti to find three kinds of meditation that anyone can do and that complement each other in a wonderful way: (1) breath awareness, (2) breath as anchor, and (3) choiceless awareness. Having the three methods in one's repertoire gives one meditation resources for any life situation. In a time of stress, for example, one might use breath awareness exclusively. Or on an extended retreat, one might find choiceless awareness more appropriate. The three-step method has been taught to Larry's students at the Cambridge Meditation Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for many years. After teaching the three-step method, Larry goes on to show how to bring the awareness gained in meditation to the world off the cushion, into relationships and into all areas of daily life.

Good book

Very good information about meditation and the different ways to practice. I really enjoyed it

I love this audible book

One of the best books that I have listen to in audible about meditation and the practice of awareness.

Enough

ways to improve yourself? Maybe? If sitting around waiting for your breath to tell you how to live is an idea that you think can help you get through this world, then read this book. The author tells you how eight thousand ways and they're all the same...

Necessary Read and Practice

A great listen all around and a necessary practice in a very busy modern day materialistic world.

A Very Concise, and Compact Presentation!

I gave this rating because I felt that the author held nothing back, very open, and honest with his guidance of the potential practitioner! I would recommend to anyone seeking a firm foundation in meditation! Seriously, I wish I had read this years ago! Through thiin with some of the best guidance Trungpa has to offer! And, It’s a dammed good start in a lifelong study! Two Thumbs!
