Three Steps to Awakening. Mindfulness Practice in Everyday Life

Three steps to awakening are three stages of meditation practice: the first stage involves observing the breath, the second - contemplating one’s overall experience with a focus on the breath, the third - non-discriminative awareness, which is mindful presence in the present without relying on an object. In addition to deep instructions on formal practice (in four traditional postures), the book pays great attention to awareness in the context of life and relationships. The book also includes warm memories of the author’s meetings with Krishnamurti, his first teacher.
