The Way of Effortless Mindfulness: A Revolutionary Guide for Living an Awakened Life

Loch Kelly

Sounds True, Boulder Colorado, 2019. 209 pages.

Effortless mindfulness is both a natural capacity and a skillful way to connect with ourselves and others. It is a way of being mindful from a different level of mind than we are used to. There is more to effortless mindfulness than meditation. Effortless mindfulness is primarily an off-the-meditation-cushion way of weaving together contemplation and compassionate actions. -- page 9

Once you unhook local awareness from thought and open to space, you will feel some relief and freedom from the chattering mind. This is a crucial step, but space is not the final frontier. We do not want to remain as a detached mindful witness or in disembodied pure awareness. While the first step is to discover that space is free of mental obsession, the next step is to discover that space is not absence, but space itself is aware. We can then also discover that spacious awareness is inherently within our body. -- page 169
