Going deeper – meditation websites

These are few interesting but less well known websites on meditation. They’re all mentioned somewhere or other in my meditation posts, but I thought it would be good to bring them all together in one place.

(1) o-meditation.com

o-meditation.com is an introduction to dozens of genuine and well-respected teachers of depth meditation – ie what I sometimes refer to in these posts as radical meditation – who teach the same essential truth as Gautam Buddha but are less well known.

(2) www.realbuddhaquotes.com/

Most Buddha quotes on the internet are fakes. This site has some quotations verified from the original texts.

(3) osho.com

Loving commentaries on many famous enlightened teachers, and modern day answers to seekers questions. Some paywall, much free.

(4) realization.org/p/ashtavakra-gita/richards.ashtavakra-gita/richards.ashtavakra-gita.html

This is John Richard’s translation of the famous Ashtavakra Gita. It’s super hard to understand if you’ve never seen anything like this, but it’s got the entire teaching of the same truths as Buddha taught in a few compressed pages and well worth having a look just for the fun of seeing the ancient way of expressing things in it’s entirety.

(5) J Krishnamurti

I always thought Krishnamurti was a boring 1940s figure until I saw him recently on Youtube and fell in love. He has the authority of inner experience to start from nothng and express the truths of the path of meditation in direct simplicity in terminology of the modern world. Thousands of years of philosophy and tradition swept away in the dust …. nothing whatever of the complex expression of the Ashtavakra Geeta.

“Working with Andrew was an incredibly deep, profound and life changing experience. I went to Andrew thinking I needed to be cured of loving the love of my life – thankfully this didn’t happen. I cannot thank or recommend Andrew highly enough – the changes that can occur when working with Andrew truly are magic! ”

“We started seeing Andrew during a very difficult time, and without his help we would have split up. We both found Andrew’s sessions really helpful and it gave us the insight and tools to iron out the issues that were causing the most problems. Things between us are now really good and we are once again planning a future together.”

“Andrew is a highly experienced therapist who works with a number of different techniques, some unusual and unexpected (but in a good way!) that get to the heart of your issues quickly. He works gently and safely and I felt held in a safe space throughout the session. I would recommend Andrew to anyone looking for help in dealing with life’s questions. ”

“… I had experienced a lot of trauma in my childhood that I had not been able to fully deal with my whole adult life. I had 10 sessions with Andrew and now I am no longer triggered as I had always been by certain situations and interactions. I can love myself finally and this has completely changed my romantic relationships and my career! So many of my friends want to see Andrew now after seeing this dramatic, positive change within me! ”

Feedback from the last relationship workshop I ran in Bristol.

“[Couples clients] Cannot recommend Andrew enough. The most attentive, insightful, astute & compassionate therapist. The difference in our relationship – how we communicate, how we understand & relate to one another, how we’re able to support one another – is absolutely massive, & yet it feels like we’ve only had to make tiny tweaks to get there. Andrew is incredible at facilitating a safe, supportive place, making it surprisingly easy to be truly open & honest & to therefore get the most out of the sessions. Thank you for everything, this therapy has been life changing. ”

“Andrew is one of the best therapists I have ever worked with. He really listens. I feel deeply heard and understood in his sessions and have the space to discover ‘the answers’ for myself. The questions he asks and the comments he does offer are well thought-out and illuminating. I feel he is really there for me and I always experience a big shift in my understanding afterwards. If you want to make a breakthrough with an issue in your life or simply want to be heard, I highly recommend him. Jenny, massage therapist, Bristol. ”
