I put this on a card that I keep in my wallet, so I can do a glimpse anytime, anywhere I have a moment.

1. What is here, now, when there is no problem to solve?

2. What is it like to be aware from here? Does this awareness have a shape or location?

3. From here, what is the relationship to energy, your body, and things in the world?

4. What is it like to feel interconnected and open hearted?

5. Where are you aware from?

6. Is this a meditation state or could this be your true nature to which states are welcome?

7. Can you invite the original issue back to this open-hearted view. What or who is this issue arising to? What is your new view of the issue arising in your consciousness?

At the end of his last 6-week course, Loch announced that he is developing an app for Effortless Mindfulness. He did not yet know when it would be released. The only teaser he gave was that he teaches using an adult education methodology; thus, he has glimpses for different learning styles: visual, auditory, etc. I can’t wait!

I found Loch online just before I subscribed to the WakingUp App. So, I decided to take the discovery of Loch on the WakingUp app as synchronicity. This gave me more confidence in Loch as a teacher I should be following. I have not waivered in the year I have been with Loch.

The meditation app, Insight timer, has a large collection of short Loch Kelly glimpses of just a few minutes. They are free on the website and app.

1. Desire for enlightenment

2. Prepare for the experience, i.e., practice

3. Find practices that work for you; find your process

4. Surrendering – give in to the process

5. Reflect and assimilate the experience

Hi everyone, curious if anyone's discovered any other activities that complements (or even sparks) Loch's open-hearted awake awareness?

A few things that have worked personally for me -

-cardio/weights/yoga (especially afterwards) -playing music (especially when improvising) -network spinal analysis practice -lucid dreaming (glimpsing in the midst of a dream) -journaling while outside -breath work while laying down

Have you found any activities to help access spacious awareness?

How many glimpses per day do you consistently ‘do’?

My first encounter with Loch, beyond podcast interviews, is happening now: his 3 day at home retreat (audio recording of an older Omega Institute seminar). He mentions a recommendation to do 15 glimpses per day in the same breath as saying the daily glimpses shouldn’t take up too much time. But that many glimpses would seem to be a time suck.

This is why I have the question for consistent practitioners. I’m thinking two-to-three per day would be more of my jam.

Thank you.

Hello everyone!

I am following Loch’s 6- week Video course on effortless mindfulness, and it struck me when he causally mentioned that most would awaken during these 6 weeks. At week 3 I am still struggling to shift from local awareness to awake awareness.

I am wondering if there are any of you here who have awoken due to Loch’s teachings, and if so, whether you’d be open to share a little about that experience?

Thank you 🙏

I find Riichard Lang to be one of the most pleasant people I have experienced.

Some hightlights:

1. Some very cool exercises pointing to awareness

2. Sam: So what? What is the use of the insight?

3. Richard: Must and how to let it into your life.

4. Four stages of human development.

5. Finally, you are space for the world.

6. Everything is popping up from the void.

1. Recognize that you are caught, attached, or identified.

2. Realize there is another way to be.

3. Remember a glimpse method of returning or re-recognizing that has worked for you.

4. Unhook local awareness by unblending with thinking or a part. Let awareness turn around to spacious awareness or move down within the body.

5. Shift into already awake awareness.

6. Feel awareness aware of itself.

7. See the dance between formlessness and form from awareness-energy.

8. now from embodied open-hearted awareness.

9. Let be by resting as the Ground of Being without thinking to be or doing to be. Marinate and mix awake awareness and aliveness. Invite all parts, thoughts, and emotions into the boundless Heart and tender human heart.

10. Remain undistracted without effort.

11. Do from Being by beginning to rewire your brain and ego functioning, to operate from open-hearted awareness and Self-leadership.

12. Detox, welcome, and liberate by allowing open-hearted awareness to welcome exiled parts and unburden protective parts.

13. **When you notice you have become re-identified, simply say, “No big surprise, just re-recognize.”

14. Then, with small glimpses, learn to return, and train to remain.

I am reading the shift into freedom book, but have noticed that the glimpses are easier to be heard than read. I am looking for the audio book for the glimpse training, but can only find the audible version. Does anyone know where I can find a version that doesn’t force me to subscribe to an audible membership?

Thanks!

I got the 7-day free trial and explored the site. There are some good things there - some interviews with people like Richard Schwartz, a forum, glimpses - but I do not find it to be enough content yet to justify the cost of $99 a year. It is only just beginning so I will keep my eye on it. I am really looking forward to his app, due later in the year.
