#103 Loch Kelly: Effortless Mindfulness

The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish

NOTE

Effortless mindfulness and awareness

Effortless mindfulness challenges the traditional view of deliberate mindfulness by focusing on the awareness that watches thoughts come and go, rather than the content of thoughts. This alert awareness is not made of thoughts but is conscious and serves as a pure, contentless, timeless awareness. As this awareness comes into relationship with different aspects such as hearing consciousness and thinking consciousness, individuals may get caught back in identifying with certain thoughts or emotions, mistaking them as part of themselves.
