Effortless Mindfulness: Loch Kelly's Path to Flow States
The premise is, if we can shift into this flow consciousness, we can feel this optimal way of functioning that isn't so self-referential and isn't referencing the past and projecting worst-case scenarios into the future.
What if you could tap into a state of flow without having to ski down a mountain or play a musical instrument? Meditation teacher and psychotherapist Loch Kelly believes you can. In this episode of The FitMind Podcast, host Liam McClintock sits down with Loch to discuss his unique approach to mindfulness, which he humorously calls 'Brooklyn maha mudra'.
Loch has spent decades studying with renowned teachers around the world and has collaborated with neuroscientists to explore how meditation can enhance brain function. His teachings blend Western science with ancient Eastern practices, offering a holistic way to train the mind. Loch and Liam dive into the concept of effortless mindfulness, a method that allows individuals to access flow states without needing to be in a specific activity.
They explore how this practice can help us shift out of a thought-based operating system and into a more present, aware state of being. Loch shares practical tips on how to feel your awareness and connect with your true nature, rather than getting caught up in past memories or future worries. The episode also features a powerful guided meditation led by Loch, designed to help listeners experience this state of effortless mindfulness firsthand.
