Adyashanti is a widely beloved, American-born spiritual teacher whose practice is rooted in Zen Buddhism but has expanded beyond any one path or perspective. He has created many books and audio programs through Sounds True, including Resurrecting Jesus, Emptiness Dancing, and Healing the Core Wound of Unworthiness. In this episode of Insights of the Edge-which previously appeared as part of the provocative interview series Waking Up: What Does It Really Mean?-Tami Simon and Adyashanti inquire deeply into what exactly constitutes “awakening.” Adya describes his own experiences of awakening, vividly comparing and contrasting his felt sensation of each of these life-changing experiences. Tami and Adya also discuss whether awakening is a sudden or gradual process, and what one can and cannot expect from these moments of profound epiphany. Finally, Adya shares his pith instructions on how to encourage such a spiritual awakening.

Adyashanti was the first teacher I listened to when my first awakening happened, the honeymoon period as Adya's called it. And after 10 years, he is still be able to shine a light on my path. Thank you is not enough.
"Now, obviously people do not want to think that they have no purpose, so they invent various purposes for themselves. Eventually, their real purpose will have the possibility of emerging and when it begins to emerge, they will realize that they have a responsibility to accept change that is necessary and to instigate change that is necessary. They will also realize that they have a responsibility to maintain themselves in good health, to become aware of their strengths and weaknesses and their favorable and unfavorable tendencies, and so forth. The emergence of purpose will require change in their thinking, behavior and perception and in their relationships with others as well. Often people become very lazy here because they are waiting for something to change them. Then if it goes wrong, they have someone else to blame. “Hey, I was just there and it changed! Don’t blame me!” But to take full responsibility means that you are cooperating with life in bringing about the necessary adjustments as you proceed." ~Wisdom From The Greater Community Book 1~Provoking Change~
Why don't Sounds True TURN OFF the constant incessant ads...it's literally ridiculous how often they interupt?
It’s so hard to describe, but yes this is probably the best description Awakening. I have tried to talk about it but my partner thinks it is crazy. Or I’m crazy!! What I’ve realised is every trauma I’ve had has been a gift a blessing and I know what source is telling me I learnt something with every trauma! My appetite changed immediately I ate cereal for months then went back to ordinary eating but now again I’m eating wheat everyday so yes I agree it I must have had another or perhaps many over the last 8 yrs my mums passing was what brought my first awakening on it was like the icing on the cake I couldn’t take the hurt anymore! Yes you have to own everything the shadow work you have to be willing to face your fear your shame guilt and anger and have the dark night of the soul that was the night I cried i laughed it was almost like hysteria! I’ve not yet had another night like that. But I thank you both for your honesty it was from your heart I could tell. Much love to you from the UK Liverpool ❤️💎💡💡💡☄️💥🌟🌈🤝🌹💫
Those emotional moments when recalling his awakening experiences... That's what makes Adya so real to so many of us. I'm a novice in this world, and I had my own spontaneous awakening in March 2, 2022, almost precisely at midnight. And I wept for weeks after that. Sometimes I would remember the things I saw and start sobbing like a child.
2003/4 I was sitting at a desk US Army Recruiting. I took Bhagwan Sanyass on the internet. I was given a name. My career nosedived, for inexplicable reasons. I could not recruit one individual. I was relieved. That was my awakening. Like a caterpillar to a butterfly. My next duty station for 5 years Nashville, TN. I lived 2 miles from work, had my own office, and on many occasions left and returned whenever I felt like it. Best job I had in my life.
First time I've heard Adya describe his experiences with such emotion...really touching and beautiful
The best interview of all time .❤
The teacher is less breathy than the interviewer. That’s rare… Adyashanti is awesome.
What is noticing this emotion, what is noticing this thoughts...? Dont answer , just let the question evoke...
"Let go of what has passed
this is one of the very best conversations I have enjoyed , where the questions and answers are all so fulll of depth and richness. What a treasure.
Adya is a light in this world ✨☁️
Brilliant questions and space provided by Tami. I already, greatly appreciated Adya's teaching but his responses here were just breathtaking. This interview does what it sets out to do. Thank you both.
Very powerful account of awakening from Adya! Thank you! Great interview and questions too.. Awakening is something that's not easy to convey in words, but Adya does it beautifully and is very articulate in his explanation! Thank you both very much! Love this video! ♥️
Ms. Simon, what an extraordinary conversation you facilitated. What a gift! Adyashanti, thank you beyond words!
