Awake Loving Flow
In this episode, Loch reconnects with meditation teacher and author of The Mindful Geek Michael Taft for a deep dialogue about what happens after the first glimpse of awakening. Michael names a common source of confusion: some non-dual teachings stop at pure, spacious awareness and treat the world as a dream, while a fuller view finds awareness and appearances to be inseparable. Loch and Michael explore emptiness as interdependence, the Zen ox-herding pictures, and why most people need to unh...

How to Meditate Without Even Trying
In this episode, Loch welcomes Peter Russell, a physicist-turned-meditation-teacher and author of How to Meditate Without Even Trying, for a conversation about why the most direct path to presence may be the one that is most available. Peter traces his journey from theoretical physics and early Transcendental Meditation practice to decades of teaching what he calls a minimalist practice of allowing.

Effortless Mindfulness for Effortful Skeptics
In this deeply illuminating episode, Loch sits down with Theravāda Buddhist monks Ajahn Kovilo and Ajahn Nisabho to explore the profound practice of Effortless Mindfulness. Together, they bridge the gap between conventional and non-dual wisdom traditions, mapping direct realization to traditional experiences like samādhi, the Unborn, and the Deathless.

From Small self to Self Leadership
In this episode, we take a fresh look at the journey from our everyday, habitual sense of ego-centered identity—the “small self”—toward discovering and living from our True Nature or what IFS calls Self Leadership. Through a guided glimpse practice and gentle inquiry at the end, we explore how to unblend from the thinker or manager part of the mind and shift into the spacious, compassionate presence of Self. You’ll learn to recognize the levels of identity—from ego-centered small self to Self Essence, Self Energy, and then Self Leadership. Rather than dissolving parts or pushing them away, we honor them as expressions of natural humanity. By shifting into Awake Awareness as the foundation of Self Essence, we gain access to qualities like clarity, curiosity, and compassion, allowing us to relate to our parts from the Self within that has the capacity to heal us. This episode offers a direct taste of what it's like to unhook from our ego's effort and rest in the open-hearted, effortless flow of Self Leadership. You'll walk away with a glimpse practice for identifying your parts, creating space around them, and leading your inner life from the natural wisdom of Self. This isn’t about spiritually bypassing or calming our parts—it’s about welcoming, listening, and returning home to who you truly are. Mindful Glimpse The episode features Loch offering a guided practice called “From Small self to Self Leadership.” These mindful glimpses serve as invaluable tools for experiencing ways to access the awake consciousness that is already here within all of us.

Awakening to Original Love with Henry Shukman (Part 2)
In part two of this deep conversation, two “happy” masters of meditation, Loch Kelly and Henry Shukman, explore a range of topics and questions through the lens of awakening as a natural human potential. What can we learn about how to shift into awake mind and heart to live with and recover from injury and long Covid? What is effortless focus and flow, aka Flow Know? And why is it so important for meditation and mindfulness practitioners to understand the distinctions between conventional mindfulness and more direct paths like Zen and Effortless Mindfulness? And finally, what are the benefits of new emergent spiritual models that integrate nondual mindfulness and Internal Family Systems? How does it work and how are models like this different from more traditional approaches to waking up and growing up? Loch and Henry Shukman engage with these questions and more. Part 1 Recap In part one, Loch and Henry Shukman explore their similar and unique approaches to awakening. With delight and curiosity, they share some of their own initial awakening experiences. They also discuss their process of discovering and unfolding and how they share it with students. To this end, they unpack and illuminate the contemplative art and science of Inquiry and Koans as ways to shift out of the chattering mind and into our already awake heart mind. Henry talks about his experience with Zen Koans and Loch shares his Mahamudra approach to inquiry. Loch calls this Glimpsing, and it emphasizes immediate experiential pointers which help practitioners directly realize their already awake nature. Henry Shukman Bio Henry Shukman is a meditation teacher, poet, author, and co-founder of the single-path meditation app The Way. His most recent books are Original Love: The Four Inns on the Path of Awakening (HarperOne) and the Zen memoir One Blade of Grass.

Henry and Loch also lean into questions around the importance of integrating ancient wisdom approaches with contemporary models of psychology and human development. Other key areas of their trans-traditional dialogue include recognizing ordinary experiences and pain as opportunities for awakening. They also talk about the role of personal loss in awakening and the role of personal storytelling in teaching. They both agree that awakening is the discovery of what Henry calls Original Love (instead of Original Sin) and what Loch calls Unconditional Love, which allows us to live from Awake Loving Flow.

Effortless Focus & Flow
What if there were another way to focus that is not stressful or exhausting? And what if this other way of effortless focus and flow gave us more energy and tapped us into an inherent sense of clarity, compassion, and wholeness? Three Kinds of Effortless Flow In this episode of the Effortless Mindfulness podcast, Loch Kelly introduces us to different types of awareness and uncovers a remarkable and innate human capacity called Effortless Focus. In conventional mindfulness and daily life we try to "pay attention” and “concentrate" by using narrow attention like a flashlight. With effortless focus we learn a unique Indo-Tibetan approach to open awareness and then upgrade to a connected flow that most of us know. Loch introduces three types of flow that we can learn to access any time of the day. They’re called absorbed flow, panoramic flow, and awake loving flow. Each of these has its own unique qualities to help you transcend chronic attentional issues like burnout, ADHD, workaholism, overthinking, OCD, hyper stress, low energy, and an inability to concentrate. And most importantly, these levels of flow are not just peak experiences but a new way of relating and creating. They're stable dimensions of your own Self that can become your new normal. In this episode, you’ll learn what it means to shift out of your limited chattering mind and live from the zone of Effortless Focus.
