The Way of Openness

Amoda Maa explores the meaning of openness from a nondual perspective and unpack some of the veils of perception that prevent us from living as this openness in all circumstances. She also offers potent pointers to the liberation from ego-identity when this openness is recognized as our natural state.

Guided Meditations and Topics:

1 — Untangling the Ego

Examining how the ego-identity forms itself by getting lost in the content of our experience, and how the tight knot if ego comes undone when we are willing to meet our experience as relaxed presence.

Includes Guided Meditation #1: Meeting Your Experience as Relaxed Presence

2 — Falling into Open Awareness

Exploring how we can meet our experience without interference and without interpretation, and how this allows a softening of attention to reveal the open space that is the background of all experience.

Includes Guided Meditation #2: Becoming Aware of Space Permeating Everything

3 — Knowing Yourself as the Infinite

Understanding the difference between the limited “me” and the infinite “I”, and how aboding as the “I” in the midst of all experiences gives birth to the paradox of intimacy with all things and yet freedom from all things.

Includes Guided Meditation #3: Can You Find Yourself in Your Experience?

4 — An Unconditional Relationship to Life

Recognizing open awareness as unconditioned and unconditional, and how devoting ourselves to this moment as it appears is the ultimate prayer.

Includes Guided Meditation #4: Devoting Yourself to What Arises Without Naming
