Effortless Mindfulness With Loch Kelly

Discover simple, yet advanced practices validated by neuroscience to move beyond fear, worry, and shame — and access your intuitive heart-mind.
Apply Effortless Mindfulness to connect with the wisdom of the larger field of consciousness… anytime and anywhere.

Mindfulness is more than a practice… it‘s a portal to awakening.

And this awakening is available to you right NOW… in every moment.

The reality is you are already loving, wise and “awake awareness”… and Effortless Mindfulness reconnects you to this truth.

Effortless Mindfulness is a simple, yet advanced form of practice that you can do anytime and anywhere. It evokes a sense of calm and joy, and allows access to a “flow state.”

Your “new normal” can be a life filled with unconditional love, free from fear, worry, and shame…

Effortless Mindfulness techniques — performed with your eyes open — help dissolve thought-based self-identify, perceptions of separation, and often unconscious negative attachments.

Loch Kelly, an author, meditation teacher, psychotherapist, and founder of Open-Hearted Awareness Institute, has created a unique synthesis of meditation (drawing on the world’s great meditation masters), psychology, and neuroscience, to attain inner peace and non-dual awareness through Effortless Mindfulness.

An Effortless Mindfulness practice empowers you to enjoy a full emotional life without shutting down or attaching to your feelings. And if you identify as an empath or a highly sensitive person, the techniques can transform your energetic and emotional overwhelm into a safe, interconnected sense of wellbeing.

During this 7-part training with renowned psychotherapist and meditation teacher Loch Kelly, you’ll:

• Deepen your understanding of the differences between deliberate mindfulness and Effortless Mindfulness
• Receive a map and methods for moving through the 5 levels of awakening — including experiencing the blissful presence from your “heart-mind”
• Unburden the shame-based parts of you that try to convince you that you are not worthy of your birthright of love and awakening
• Taste awakening immediately through “small glimpses” and shifts of awareness
• Move from a thought-based separate self to your awareness-based loving Self
• Learn how your awake Self allows you to be compassionate with parts of you that are hurt or protective
• Move beyond the traps of being too mindfully detached or too energetically enmeshed
• Realize that your ground of being is supportive and effortless
• Return and remain at home in the heart, welcoming and healing all parts of your Self
• Realize the innate unchanging ground of wholeness is already installed within you

Moving Beyond the Mind: Deliberate vs. Effortless Mindfulness

Research shows that mindfulness lowers stress-related symptoms, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, and has also been proven to improve cognitive function, boost immunity, and lower blood pressure.

Yet, the focus of traditional mindfulness practices is on observing the contents of consciousness — the feelings, sensations, and mental images that we can notice as they arise and dissipate.

In Effortless Mindfulness, you shift from focusing on the contents to focusing on the context of consciousness, awareness itself… You open to what or who is aware of these contents.

This seemingly subtle shift can heighten your sense of freedom, joy, and wisdom — similar to experiencing the beauty of nature, making love, or being in the zone while playing a sport or creating a work of art.

Transitioning from everyday mind to awake awareness, you become more energetically embodied and interconnected with everything.

Join Leading Spiritual Teacher & Author Loch Kelley to Awaken to Your Effortless Nature
Your awakening begins with a glimpse…

“A glimpse is not a meditative state, a positive thought, an altered state, or a belief,” says Loch. “A glimpse is a shift of center, from an ego-identified location of perception into a new way of seeing from Being.”

Loch has transformed advanced practices of Zen and Tibetan meditation techniques into practical micro-meditations, which can be done with your eyes open — any time of day.

If you’re seeking a “next-level” teacher for your path of awakening, Loch can guide you in the practice of Effortless Mindfulness, a simple, yet deep practice and set of teachings rooted in non-dual wisdom traditions, modern science, and psychotherapy.

Loch created Effortless Mindfulness to help seekers become aware of and embody different expressions of awake awareness. His techniques influence brain activity in ways that enhance wellbeing and compassion, according to neuroscientists at Yale, University of Pennsylvania, and New York University.

This 7-part training is your opportunity to experience the profound shifts in consciousness available to you through Effortless Mindfulness.

Imagine the peace that comes from shifting your focus from your head to your heart and away from conceptual thinking… into what Loch calls “continuous, intuitive knowing.”

What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules
In this 7-part transformational intensive, you’ll receive practical Effortless Mindfulness techniques that will open you to experience the five levels of awakening.

This course will feature teachings, training sessions, and experiential practices with Loch. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to move beyond fear, worry, and shame — and access your intuitive heart-mind.

Module 1: Five Levels of Awakening Through Effortless Mindfulness

Effortless Mindfulness is both a natural capacity and a skillful way to connect with ourselves and others. It is a way of being mindful from a different level of mind than we are used to. There is more to Effortless Mindfulness than meditation.

Effortless Mindfulness is primarily an off-the-meditation-cushion way of weaving together contemplation and compassionate actions. Effortless Mindfulness begins by opening to a natural spacious awareness in order to become wiser, more embodied, and more creative.

Effortless Mindfulness will help you immediately shift out of your cloud of thoughts and emotions, and into the spacious, embodied, interconnected loving Self you have always been.

In his book, Rainbow Painting, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche says “There are two types of mindfulness: deliberate and effortless.” Mindfulness could be described as the ability to become focused and connected. Deliberate mindfulness is usually considered the introductory practice. Effortless Mindfulness is an advanced, yet simple form of mindfulness designed to relieve the deepest levels of suffering.

In this module, you’ll:

Deepen your understanding of the differences between deliberate mindfulness and Effortless Mindfulness
Receive a map and methods for shifting through the 5 levels of awakening
Discover how to taste awakening immediately through small glimpses and shifts of awareness
Move from a thought-based separate self to an awareness-based loving Self
Understand how your awake Self allows you to be compassionate with the parts of you that are hurt or protective
Move beyond the traps of being too mindfully detached or too energetically enmeshed
Realize that the innate unchanging ground of wholeness is already installed within you
Module 2: Small Glimpses, Many Times — Shifting Into Boundless Awareness

It takes practice to upgrade from thought-based small mind to your awareness-based open mind. In this second class, you’ll explore ways to shift out of small mind and small self into your awake, loving Self. The primary way of shifting is to feel how local awareness can move from being identified to returning home to open-hearted awareness.

The main approach of Effortless Mindfulness is small glimpses, many times during the day. A glimpse is a micro-meditation that takes a few minutes and is often done with your eyes open.

In this module, you’ll:

Discover 5 distinct foundations of Effortless Mindfulness
Learn about wordless, timeless, awake awareness as the boundless ground
Discover “local awareness,” the tuner for changing consciousness, which is different from attention
Feel local awareness shift out of the cloud of your mind and into spacious, awake awareness
Feel local awareness unhook from your small mind and drop down into your heart-mind
Experience the difference between being aware through thought and being aware through awareness-energy
Module 3: Beyond Subtle Body & Subtle Energy — Awareness Energy as the Ground of Being

Discover how to access your effortless, awake nature and know the intelligence of your body from within. Embodying Effortless Mindfulness allows you to work, move, and relate to others from an open-hearted presence.

Just as we can become too “spaced out,” we can become too “blissed in,” or caught in subtle energy. For empaths and highly sensitive people in particular, Effortless Mindfulness is the way to experience the support of awake awareness as the boundless ground of interconnected consciousness that is compassionate but does not take on other people’s energy.

In this module, you’ll:

Distinguish subtle-body energy from interconnected awareness energy
Know your body from within and all around from Simultaneous Mind
Discover your Ground of Being as a supportive, effortless sense of wellbeing
Feel boundless awareness, interconnected energy, and relational boundaries
Find out how to shift your awareness and return to your true nature in the midst of daily life
Module 4: Discover Your Awake Loving Self — Healing Your Shadow Parts

It is important, in order to embody awakening, to discover the non-dual relationship between formlessness and form. We begin to experience open-hearted awareness as the foundation of Self.

Our changing experience shows up in everyday life not just as thoughts and emotions, but as subpersonalities or parts of us. We can learn to discover the foundation of our awake Self that can welcome and love all parts back to health.

Loch will guide you from the traps of small self and into your awake Self so you can heal shadow parts with Effortless Mindfulness.

In this module, you’ll:

Access open-hearted awareness as the loving intelligence of Self
Identify and ask a part for some space, and shift into awake Self
Feel Self as the foundation of “who I am,” which also includes relationship to parts and people
Discover natural, loving self-energy toward all parts, whether hurt or powerfully protective
Discover ways to listen to and unburden parts so they are part of the team
Module 5: Mindful Glimpses & the Neuroscience of Awakening

Mindfulness meditation is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Over the past 20 years, scientific research has shown that mindfulness alleviates stress-related symptoms, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, and has also been proven to improve cognitive function, boost immunity, and lower blood pressure.

More recent studies of the Effortless Mindfulness approach show measurable changes in our body and perceptions. Awakening is possible.

In this class, you’ll learn how to do mindful glimpses that “reverse-engineer” the neuroscience findings to:

Move from initial empathy to compassion — instead of empathetic burnout
Balance the default-mode network of the brain so you feel seamlessly interconnected
Stop trying to be in the present moment, and discover how to be in the Now
Do the “Drive Yourself Happy” open-eyed glimpse to shift into a flow state
Module 6: Open-Hearted Awareness — Leaving Behind Fear, Worry & Shame

From effortless heart mindfulness at this stage, we sense that we can know information as needed without referring to thought. We can remain at home in our heart-mind and have thoughts come to us from the office in our head via wifi.

From this stage, many people report that they feel the coming together of a boundless heart and a tender human heart. Many say that they feel like they are looking out of “the eyes of the heart.” This heart-mind is not the physical heart, heart chakra, or emotional heart, but compassionate intelligence that is like continuous intuition. They describe an experience of unconditional love, free from fear, worry, and shame.

In this module, you’ll discover how to:

Shift from head to heart, from thought-based knowing to open-hearted awareness
Feel compassionate intelligence and make choices from that state
Talk and relate to other people from effortless heart mindfulness
Return and remain at home in the heart, welcoming and healing all parts of your Self
Module 7: Living Daily Life in Awakened Awareness

Over the past sessions, you’ve learned to shift through five levels of awakening and access a loving Self that is compassionate with the painful and angry parts of you. You’ll continue to see that no parts are bad, and that they are all looking for love in the ways they thought were best.

It is important to keep this simple, new orientation and do small shifts of awareness each day to discover the wisdom within you.

Loch will guide you to heal and unburden the shame-based parts that try to convince you that you are not worthy of your birthright of love and awakening.

In this module, you’ll:

Recognize when you’re caught in small mind —and know how to drop down into your heart-mind
Integrate small glimpses into your daily life and restart your day anytime
Navigate the traps, detours, and protective parts that keep you from living an awakened life
Connect with your community and find new motivation for compassionate activity
