| "The Unfolding Now," a new book by spiritual teacher A. H. Almaas, invites you to inquire into the "Now" of your experience, the place where your true nature can be found in ever deeper and fulfilling ways.
"Being Where You Are" as a Process of Spontaneous Unfoldment
Many spiritual teachers have written on the nature and significance of the "Now." Prior well-known studies include Be Here Now by Ram Das and The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. In his new book, The Unfolding Now , A. H. Almaas focuses on the dynamic nature of the Now and how to connect to it, stay with it, and let it unfold and fulfill your life.

The book presents a marvelously effective practice for developing the transformative quality of presence. Through a particular method of self-observation and contemplative exploration that he calls inquiry, we learn to live in the relaxed condition of simply "being ourselves," without interference from feelings of inadequacy, compulsive striving toward goals, struggling to figure things out, and rejecting experiences we don't want. Almaas explores the many obstacles that keep us from being present - including defensiveness, ignorance, desire, aggression, and self-hatred - and shows us how to welcome with curiosity and compassion whatever we are experiencing.
Almaas will make a few rare public appearances in support of the book. For more information on the book, the book talks, and an opportunity to read a free excerpt visit ahalmaas.com.
