Why are these people so excited?
Relaxing into Clear Seeing is a long awaited text. It is a work of brilliance, love, clarity and humility, giving us the tools we so deeply need for Self-realization in the 21st century. I believe it will become classic for all times.
Barbara Marx Hubbard, author of "Revelation."
With skillfulness and clarity Arjuna co-joins the teachings of non-duality with the personal healing journey, using deep relaxation for opening the body and mind. Clear Seeing offers an invitation to readers to do the work of the Heart and to discover natural joy and wisdom in themselves.
Jack Kornfield, author of "A Path with a Heart."
An excellent introduction to the brilliant clarity of ever-present awareness, the nature of the already enlightened mind.
Ken Wilber, author of "A Brief History of Everything and The Eye of Spirit."
A very fine teaching from a Heart refined by its practice. Excellent material! Read this one next, you'll be glad you did!
Stephen and Ondrea Levine, authors of "Embracing the Beloved."
One of those rare books that not only gets to the essence of spiritual awakening, but also offers practical tools and guidance.
Peter Russell, author of The Global Brain Awakens and "The Brain Book."
At once deeply spiritual and eminently practical, this remarkable new book presents a powerful integration of Western psychospiritual technologies and the enduring wisdom of the East. Arjuna Nick Ardagh, who has studied with some of the great spiritual adepts of our age, articulates the essential view common to all mysticism: By seeing through our false identification with a separate self, we can awaken to our real nature as awareness itself.
Drawing from a variety of spiritual traditions, including Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, and Advaita Vedanta (the primary source of his own inspiration), Ardagh skillfully and authoritatively persuades even the most skeptical reader that there really is only one universal Truth.
Yet Relaxing into "Clear Seeing" is not just another inspiring text filled with lofty but inaccessible ideals. It is actually a highly practical guidebook for experiencing, deepening, and stabilizing the direct realization of our essential nature, which is the source of all peace, wisdom, and love. To this end, it features more than 20 exercises for guiding a friend (or client) back into a state of natural presence and wakefulness, which Ardagh calls "Clear Seeing."
The book applies the nondual view of "Clear Seeing" to every aspect of life and demonstrates how so-called problems evaporate as we challenge the conditioned habits of the mind. Ardagh's penetrating insights into the human experience offer a fresh look at the realms of relationship, emotion, money, belief systems, and spiritual practice.
Ardagh, who has spent many years in India with his guru, H.W.L. Poonja, writes with an intoxicating blend of inspired certainty and deep humility. Compelling, uplifting, yet down-to-earth, this book is simply a must-read for everyone who seeks to hasten their journey home to the Self.
Arjuna Nick Ardagh teaches his unique blend of hypnotherapy and nondualism in trainings throughout the United States and in Europe. These teachings are also available on the Living Essence tape series, which he designed and created.

Arjuna has maintained an unbroken passion for spiritual awakening since 1971, and has lived and studied with teachers from a number of different traditions and backgrounds. In 1991 he met his true Teacher, H.W.L. Poonjaji, who pointed Arjunas attention back to the immediate availability of the Self in this very moment. Arjuna lived with his Teacher for a year, and returned to the West to teach in 1992, at Poonjaji's request.
