A jewel of easy guides that support real freedom Now!

Loch's teachings are a gift. A gift of ancient and yet timeless wisdom which has been distilled down into it's simplest and most practical form. Loch provides many different "pointings" or "doorways" all potentially leading to the same destination...open-hearted awake awareness, or perhaps more simply put...everything you've really ever wanted. It's just a matter of finding what works for you, putting it into practice, and then seeing for yourself if it's really worth it. There is no magic here, but it's all really magical. Give it a shot!

Do you ever have the feeling that the state of well-being and happiness is close, all-around, but you can't quite find it? I do, and Loch's seemingly simple queries and pointings beckon me to shift from the state of "not-quite" into the wonder of awareness. Loch amazes me again and again with the clarity and surprise of his teachings. This audiobook contains short exercises and instructions, along with concise explanations of how it all fits together. It is a treasure!

Among the many insightful and articulate lessons offered by Loch Kelly in this training CD, he mentions that the shift into freedom is comparable to upgrading our mental operating system so that we can enjoy a fuller and more awakened experience of life. In the short time that I have been listening to this CD and practicing the collection of glimpses that comprise the training, I already recognize a "rewriting" of the habitual mental acrobatics that I have come to (begrudgingly) accept as the chatter of my brain. These are not complicated or lengthy meditations; they are streamlined inquiries into how we've fallen into habits of thinking and doing, and if we just untie the knots induced by misinformation, we will begin to sense a greater and vaster awareness that is always available and present.

Loch skillfully instructs us to consider alternatives to the narrow mind field between our ears and proceeds to give detailed suggestions to guide us up, away from, and out of the confined space of continuous ruminations. These meditations are nugget-sized pointers/glimpses that trigger an opening into the vaster spaciousness of non-dual awareness. The trigger allows the awareness to occur, and once glimpsed, the encouragement to return again and again to that awareness is ensured. This is true development of the spirit and the psyche and may very well be the catalyst for the awakening of many.

These guided meditations point you to look around in your experience and do very specific little experiments with your attention and awareness. The instructions are so clear and specific - its like a little guided tour of your own consciousness. The methods shifted my awareness into a much more open and relaxed place - and then my heart bubbled up with the most simple kind of pure happiness. Its like the essence of meditation without any of the baggage.
