Awakening

Discover Effortless Mindfulness

Effortless mindfulness, also known as nondual mindfulness, is an ancient wisdom practice that integrates with contemporary neuroscience and psychology. It is an advanced, yet simple, next stage of mindfulness. Effortless mindfulness allows you to shift out of your small chattering mind and into an already awake compassionate mind – any time of the day.

Effortless means you make less initial effort to shift into an awareness-based mind that can effortlessly focus and enjoy. The primary practice is small mindful glimpses done in the midst of your day with eyes open. This allows you a way to directly access your awake nature and to live from embodied flow and compassionate activity.

“Those who feel that other mindfulness texts are esoteric, foreign, or flaky will find Kelly's exercises easy to understand, his research easy to respect.”

- Publishers Weekly

"This is one of best contemporary books on integration of meditation and nonduality. Personally, I’m thankful to Loch for offering this gift to humanity at this crucial time when so many people are looking for living spirituality free from outdated paradigms. Read this if you want to wake up to the beautiful mystery of life."

"Loch is the best, or among the best, ‘pointing-within’ teachers in the world right now. By ‘pointing-within,’ I mean someone who can experientially introduce, and then continue to mentor folks into authentic higher Consciousness and Heart. Since his book is about sustaining and maturing this process it’s likely that his book might be a major ‘threshold’ book, just like Eckhart’s Power of Now was at the time.”
Kurt Johnson, PhD

"Shift into Freedom is a well-written and important contribution. An essential read for anyone interested in learning about this great meditation program of Open-Hearted Awareness."
Andrew Newberg, M.D.

"The book’s power comes from the decades of lived experience of its author, one of America’s most beloved teachers, and in reading his words, one’s awareness seems to quietly soften and expand into much larger space."
Catherine Ingram

"Awakening is moving your inner center of gravity from your protective parts to your magnificent essence. Loch’s wonderful book not only makes you realize that such a shift is possible, but provides exercises to help make it happen."
Richard C. Schwartz, Ph.D

"Shift into Freedom offers the reader a remarkable synthesis of practical wisdom from across contemporary meditation, psychological, and neuroscience disciplines. Loch Kelly provides us with a direct and accessible taste of more profound and subtle experiences of effortless mindfulness and heart mindfulness."
David Vago, PhD
David Vago, PhDMeditation Researcher, Harvard Medical School
"Loch shares his practice experience freely, links it to the similar experiences of many other traditions, and clarifies how these practices work with the science of the day. Shift Into Freedom will be a great help to many people."
Sharon Salzberg
Sharon SalzbergAuthor of Real Happiness
"In my many years of knowing and working with Loch Kelly I feel that he is one of the clearest expressions of authentic awakened freedom and love that I know. This book is a shining gem in the modern spiritual landscape. One that invites you, challenges you, and requires you to fully participate in your awakening to truth and the embodiment of love."
Adyashanti
AdyashantiAuthor of True Meditation
"Many assume that genuine spiritual realization is either out of reach—“I’m too wounded…life’s too stressful”—or way down the road. Shift into Freedom is one of those rare and invaluable books that awakens trust in what is possible in this very life, right now. With wisdom, clarity and care, Loch Kelly offers teachings and practices that directly evolve consciousness and liberate the heart."
