Content of the Teachings Emily Carson gives contemporary expression to the ancient eastern wisdom traditions, particularly Buddhism, Raja Yoga, Taoism, and Advaita Vedanta.In this body of spiritual thought you will find
the Buddhist principles of non-attachment, renunciation, and emptiness;
the Taoist call to absolute non-resistance;
the Yogic invitation to self inquiry and mental stillness; and
the Vedic assertion of a single, non-dual Reality
but presented with a language and quality unique in its beauty, clarity, and precision.
Source of the Teachings Emily Carson’s spiritual teachings are received verbatim from a source she calls, for lack of a truly accurate word, “guidance”.The mystery of the source or origin of these teachings requires that their authority derive not from the lineage or tradition or even attainment of the teacher, but from the truth inherent in the teachings themselves. How these Teachings Serve Emily delivers dharma talks and spoken meditations to audiences as a whole, but she also speaks directly to individuals, responding to their spiritual and personal questions with precision and particularity.We hope you find in these teachings the kind of resonance and clarity that
strengthens your longing for truth and
serves as a tangible guide on your own unique path towards spiritual growth and healing.
