Shift into Freedom ─ The Science and Practice of Open-Hearted Awareness

Spiritual awakening-or the discovery of what Loch Kelly calls "openhearted awareness"-is not limited to advanced meditators and tireless seekers. For the past two decades, this innovative psychologist and meditation teacher has been helping people from every background learn how to access a spacious, natural way of living in tune with a deeper truth.

Shift into Freedom presents Loch Kelly's original synthesis of ancient wisdom, modern psychological insights, current neuroscience research, and unique awareness practices for the body, mind, and heart. Written for both first-time and lifelong meditators, here is a training guide filled with simple and effective experiential tools for "unhooking" awareness from our chattering minds and dropping into our awake heart space, expanding our sense of intimacy and interconnection, and embodying inner peace, clarity, and love.

LOCH KELLYis an educator, consultant, and recognized leader in the field of meditation and psychotherapy who was asked to teach meditation by Mingyur Rinpoche and Adyashanti. The founder of the Awake Awareness Institute, he is an emerging voice in modernizing meditation, teaching inner city youth and collaborating with neuroscientists to study how awareness training can enhance well-being. He lives in New York City. See lochkelly.org.
