Welcome to the EM+IFS Training Series. In this series of three self-paced online courses, we’ve curated a potent selection of videos and resources that blend theory, practice, and skill stacking to help you embody a Self-Led Life.
Join renowned psychotherapist and Mindful Glimpses app creator Loch Kelly to unlock the transformative power of Effortless Mindfulness and his unique style of “Self-Led IFS” tools.
Loch has co-taught numerous retreats and workshops with IFS-creator Dick Schwartz and has created an original synthesis that integrates IFS Parts Work with the liberating nondual practice of Effortless Mindfulness.
Loch offers his contemporary ways to ‘glimpse’ our awake nature immediately and heal our wounded parts. When Loch and I have taught together, I have found, for myself and students, that Loch’s practices are amazingly effective.
In this self-paced introduction to EM+IFS, you’ll learn a new psycho-educational approach to experientially navigating your consciousness during the day, seamlessly shifting out of a parts-based view into Self Leadership. You’ll learn:

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
Effortless Mindfulness is informed by the Internal Family Systems model of therapy. A basic working understanding of IFS is helpful in learning how to internalize, navigate, and flourish across the 5 Levels of Mind. Why is this the case?
Most popular mindfulness programs begin with Everyday Mind and end with Subtle Mind, which is the second level in Loch’s model. Effortless Mindfulness really diverges from other mindfulness paths at Level 3, which is Awake Aware Mind.
This is the ever-present dimension within us that is always awake, calm, clear, and untouched by worry, doubt, shame and fear. This marks the life-changing discovery of consciousness beyond thought-based knowing.
However, moving past awake awareness into the other levels of mind requires some basic understanding of parts work. Why? Because as we traverse the 4th and 5th levels of Mind and Self, parts are going to come up.
And we need to learn how to navigate those parts in the most wholesome and effective way to further heal, liberate, and awaken our own consciousness and so you can live with abiding calm, clarity, and compassion. And it is Levels four and five of the mind that makes the real difference in this model as we integrate our full human experience.
To this end, in these three self-paced courses, you’ll receive an organic blend of theory, practice, and reflection exercises to help you realize these higher potentials.
