The One of Us
Living from the Heart of Awakened Relationship
6-CD Set
The One of Us
$47 $20.00
To be spiritually awake is to deeply feel your connection with the whole of life. The One of Us is an exploration of this sacred connection as it expresses through two human partners. In this six-session audio program, Adyashanti and Mukti offer insight to those who are currently in a relationship or who are preparing for one—to realize and honor connection and to begin to move, speak, and act in alignment with the love that lives in all of us.

Newly Released Classic from Adya!
What Do You Really Want?
Adyashanti describes how wanting to know the truth of your being above all else is the foundation of living an awakened life.
| | Complimentary Audio Download | | The Dilemma of Relationship | |
The most profound challenge for human beings is in the world of relationship—with others, our environment, and our inner experience of thoughts and feelings. Even awakening doesn’t solve the dilemma of relationship. In this focused talk, Adyashanti points us to the deep unknown that exists prior to relationship with anything. When we go beyond what we think we know of ourselves and “other,” we access the profound stillness from which we can intimately relate to all of life’s experiences.
| | New Teaching Video Excerpts | | Further Exploration of Relationship | | Along with the full-length complimentary audio download and new teaching excerpts above, we have curated a collection of Adya’s and Mukti’s teachings on the subject of Relationship. We hope that exploring these will help offer new perspectives on your own relationships. | | Open Gate Sangha Community News | |
