Sitting in Stillness
In Sitting in Stillness, a practice series recorded live at in-person and virtual retreats, Adyashanti leads 30-minute guided meditations that point to the already still, open nature of awareness—and, ultimately, to the mystery of existence itself.
Adya employs simple and direct language to help us, in his words, “glimpse completely natural meditation, happening all on its own.”
