Description
Originally created as an online course called The Wake Up Challenge, the 30 practices that make up this potent exploration of awakening are the most direct and distilled teachings on enlightenment that Adyashanti has ever offered. In these pointers and practices, Adya distills more than 20 years of teaching experience to evoke the experience of awakening. He shares practices for each of the three pathways that awakening can take- on the level of mind, heart, and ground of being-and offers additional practices for embodying our awakened awareness in all the situations of our daily human lives.
