Summary

For those who are seeking a path of simplicity, not bound by the trappings of spiritual practice, Adyashanti brings a fresh and humble approach to Zen wisdom. "Don't think that awakening is the end," teaches Adyashanti. "Awakening is the end of seeking, the end of the seeker, but it is the beginning of a life lived from your true nature."

Life Changing

Any time I'm struggling with my mind.. whether it be anxiety, getting to sleep, being too focussed on the past and future rather than the present, I listen to this. It totally grounds me. It is truly liberating. I have so much love for Adyashanti purely for being a true advocate of his teachings and showing that it is possible to free your mind. It has saved me from myself.

Beautiful 💗

Absolute gem of enlightenment, communicated without pretentiousness. The beauty of his enlightened lectures with such ordinary, humble and beautiful guidance is unlike any other I have heard.

Great read

I found this book really interesting and very well presented. I really liked the way that just when the subject matter was getting a little dry, some hummer would put in to lighten the mood - great book which I will listen to again.

Very good, nonjudgemental book

Adyashanti is the only person I've listened to that doesn't fat shame other religions/faiths. It is so refreshing to listen to someone who has found his own path and who sees the value that the different religions have without pinning his flag to any of them.

For anyone who is a true seeker or for those who are just interested this is a good book.

An encapsulation of Adya's teaching.

It gets straight to the point, covering profound contemplations in Adya's conversational yet lyrical voice, and a nice surprise in store at the end.

Just what I was looking for

Would you consider the audio edition of Spontaneous Awakening to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version

What did you like best about this story?

Simple, no nonsense discussion of how to allow awakening to happen

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I liked the guided meditations

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I felt more peaceful. I would not say I was "awakened as yet, but rather more conscious and I feel awakening is possible
