'Headlessness', the feeling of no self that mystics of all times have aspired to, is an instantaneous way of 'waking up'and becoming more aware of oneself. Douglas Harding describes his first experience of headlessness in On Having No Head, a classic work first published in 1961. In this extensively revised edition he conveys the immediacy, simplicity and practicality of 'the headless way', placing it within a zen context, and also drawing parrallels to practices in other traditions.
