Having experienced some of the initial benefits of mindfulness, is it now possible to awaken to the deep sense of well-being, creativity, and unconditional love that is our true nature? During this two-hour evening event, you will learn contemporary versions of effortless mindfulness that help you live from your heart-mind.
Effortless Mindfulness comes from the Sutra Mahamudra tradition, which began in North India and links the three main traditions of Buddhism: Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. This is primarily a movement of lay practitioners who developed a style of practice to support each other’s awakening in the midst of everyday life. Effortless mindfulness is ideal for our contemporary times in that it makes awakening possible for all of us, without having to join a monastery or be an Olympic athlete of meditation. Awakening can become the next, natural stage of our human development.
Loch will draw from Buddhist traditions, psychology, and current neuroscience research to point us beyond our small, separate sense of self to our already awake nature.
The main approach that will be explored is called “small glimpses, many times.” It is a series of micro-meditations, shifts of awareness and nondual pointers that help us move out of our chattering mind and into awake consciousness. From here, we discover that ignorance and confusion begin to liberate and all experiences and emotions are welcome. This leads to natural compassion as our primary motivation for life.
