Join nondual mindfulness teacher Loch Kelly in this podcast episode as he explores the path of emotional liberation and guides you towards breaking free from the painful loop of emotions and thoughts. Discover how the root cause of suffering lies not in the emotions themselves, but in the contraction of the mind in a limited sense of identity. Here he delves into the concept of emotional liberation, emphasizing that it is not about suppressing or eliminating emotions, but rather allowing them to flow freely without the velcro of reactive self. Loch leads us through an experiential glimpse of emotional liberation. Try this for yourself and learn to access the peace and well-being already available to you. | Loch Kelly |► Website: https://lochkelly.org/► Loch Kelly Podcast: https://podcast.effortlessmindfulness.com/► Loch Kelly App:  https://lochkelly.org/em► Donate - https://lochkelly.org/donateAbout the podcast:Effortless Mindfulness with Loch KellyExperience support for awakening as the next stage of human development through micro-meditations, conversations about mindfulness, nonduality, spirituality, neuroscience and contemporary psychology including Internal Family Systems (IFS).

What happens in the brain in the midst of meditation? Modern science is revealing a whole new world of inner understanding. In this episode, Loch and psychologist and researcher, Dr. David Vago, discuss the neuroscience of awakening. From both ancient and modern points of view they explore the relationship between brain networks and awareness, particularly interconnected nondual states. They discuss the system-wide effects of mindfulness on mental health and well-being, and dig into some interesting dialogue about the illusion of self-identity, and various flow states. After the discussion, stay tuned for a mindful glimpse meditation where you can experience awareness energy yourself.Guided Glimpse Meditation: Effortless FocusIn this 8 minute guided meditation, you are invited to discover the view from the field of awareness energy.

 This episode features a short "glimpse” or micro-meditation that helps us shift out of our chattering mind and into our already awake consciousness. This mindful glimpse brings us back to our senses and then continues to introduce us to the most important discovery for freedom: awake awareness. By experiencing awake awareness around us and the aliveness within us as interconnected, we discover we are no longer self-centered. Rather, we are interdependent with the Infinite, clear and loving consciousness that is always available within us and as us. From this new view and supportive ground we can be with everything that arises and experience a deep sense of embodiment, wisdom, flow and compassionate activity. For more info about Loch, visit: https://lochkelly.org/ For additional information about this podcast, visit:  https://podcast.effortlessmindfulness.com/ For the Loch Kelly App, visit: https://effortlessmindfulness.com and to donate, visit:  https://lochkelly.org/donate.You can now explore all of Loch Kelly's practices and teachings on the new Mindful Glimpses app, found at https://lochkelly.org/mindful-glimpses.

"Time is the greatest concept of all, hiding the dynamic, open nature of experience under the garments of the concepts past, present, and future," wrote Princeton astrophysics professor Piet Hut. Where do quantum physics and the great wisdom traditions meet? Here in the Now. The "Now" in Tibetan Buddhism is translated as "The timeless awareness that includes the three relative times of past, present and future." But the Now is not the present moment. We can not live in the present moment as moments are here and gone like the tick-tock of a clock, here-gone-here-gone. However, we can learn to shift into the eternal Now, which is always here as a ground that is both infinite and intimate.Being here and now provides a doorway to an awake, open-hearted awareness that can be accessed experientially at any time. It is a field of compassion and well-being from which you can respond rather than react and experience flow states.In this conversation, author, psychotherapist, and meditation teacher Loch Kelly and Princeton Professor and Astrophysicist Piet Hut explore everything from quantum mechanics, the theory of relativity, nonduality, the nature of reality, and consciousness.At the end of the discussion, Loch provides a glimpse meditation to help you experientially shift your awareness into the timeless, boundless Now. "Time is the greatest concept of all, hiding the dynamic, open nature of experience under the garments of the concepts past, present, and future," wrote Princeton astrophysics professor Piet Hut. Where do quantum physics and the great wisdom traditions meet?
