Effortless Mindfulness Embodied: Awakening, Glimpse by Glimpse

Apply here to attend

What would the world be like if each of us discovered for ourselves how to live an awakened life? Awakening begins with a shift out of our small, separate sense of self, to discover an “awake” consciousness that we sense has been there all along. When we begin to inhabit this space, we discover that awakened awareness is inseparable from unconditional love and the dynamic aliveness interconnected with everything.

The first premise of Loch Kelly’s approach Effortless Mindfulness is that the freedom, connection, and awakeness we are seeking is already here within us. Effortless Mindfulness does not mean it “takes no effort”, but that there is an effortless awareness from which we are mindful. In this way, when we experience painful emotions, we can immediately shift out of our “chatting mind” and small self, and into an awakened consciousness that has the capacity to be compassionate toward ourselves.

In this workshop, Loch will present easily accessible methods that weave together different approaches to awakening — from neuroscience to cutting-edge psychological research to wisdom practices from around the world. You will be offered the keys to supporting the awakening as the next natural stage of human development. You will learn how to shift out of your chattering mind and into embodied, openhearted awareness in the midst of everyday life.

Testimonials

“I never thought I could be almost free of the anxiety as it has coursed through my body for the past five years with a non-stop pounding heartbeat. But, by diligently dropping out of the mind, even for a second at a time, slowly and now more rapidly the identification is switching to Awake Awareness. (Loch’s) teaching is absolutely profound. There simply aren’t many teachers out there who can teach such a direct path with swift ‘results.'” – Lisa

“Loch decodes and updates the age-old esoteric teachings, making them accessible to a hurried, modern audience. I use Loch’s techniques to re-orient myself away from the insanity of my thought-based life.” – Janine

“I was living a grey life and shifting into open-hearted awareness was like a light switch was turned on and everything is now lit up from within.” – Jerry, Chef and Father
