Summary of Loch Kelly's The Way of Effortless Mindfulness

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 Effortless mindfulness is the ability to be present in the present moment without any agenda. It is a way of being mindful from a different level of mind than we are used to. It begins by opening to a natural spacious awareness and becoming more wise, embodied, and creative.

#2 A glimpse is a simple practice that allows you to connect with your essential peace, love, and wisdom. It is a shift of consciousness to a new view and a new you that feels true. Glimpses are not insights, but rather the direct experience of the essential peace, love, and wisdom that’s always been here.

#3 We often miss out on the enjoyable qualities of effortless mindfulness because we don’t know that the source of our joy and freedom is already available to us. We do what we love to experience effortless mindfulness, but we don’t realize that the qualities are not dependent on what we do or where we are.

#4 Do the mindful glimpse exercise, imagining a time when you felt well-being while doing something active like hiking in nature. Then, simply stop. Feel the relief and peace that comes from no longer needing to think about anything.
