The Wonderment Instinct - Vol. 87

When we bring an attitude of wonderment to meditation, an instinct of “I don’t know,” we open to our experience in a way that is not conflicted and can make us more prone to the realization of our true nature. Adyashanti explores how meditating and living in this state of wonderment is a form of inquiry that opens the window to the profound mystery of the unconditioned, natural state of mind.

• The Essence of Meditation
• Adyashanti's Initiation into Meditation
• Meditating Effortlessly
• Waking Up from the Waking Dream
• The Natural State of Mind
