Shift into Freedom | Free Book
It is possible to access the same sense of well-being, clarity,
inner freedom, and loving connection realized by the world’s
meditation masters. We can do this by shifting our awareness in the
midst of our daily lives. Shift into Freedom presents innovative
teacher Loch Kelly’s training manual for actively participating in
the evolution of your own consciousness.
Synthesizing
insights from neuroscience and psychology with wisdom from the
world’s contemplative traditions, Shift into Freedom offers an
accessible and remarkably powerful series of meditations that lead
us to a little-known natural capacity called “awake awareness.”
Through an unfolding process of “small glimpses, many times,” these
exercises shift us from a thought-based knowing to an
awareness-based way of operating in the world. With continued
practice, we learn to “unhook” from our customary home in our
ego-based identity—and then sustain an embodied presence and
relatedness known as “open-hearted awareness.” Loch Kelly teaches
that this is “the meeting place of awakening and growing up, where
we have the capacity to handle a fully emotional, intimate life and
act with authenticity and compassion.”
