Mindfulness practice provides a powerful support for clear, kind, and effective conversations. Join author and meditation teacher Oren Jay Sofer for this exploration of how our contemplative practice provides a foundation for bringing more compassion, clarity, and connection into our speech and relationships. In these polarized times, how can we speak and listen in a way that is aligned with our values? How can we hear others with divergent views?
Oren will be offering teachings from his new book, Say What You Mean: A Mindful Approach to Nonviolent Communication.

Effortless Mindfulness Embodied with Loch Kelly - TBIF

Loch Kelly

With wisdom, clarity and care, Loch Kelly offers teachings and practices that directly evolve consciousness and liberate the heart.”
―Tara Brach, Ph.D. Author of Radical Acceptance
In the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist tradition, meditation is taught in two stages. The first is deliberate mindfulness, which includes one-pointed focus and insight meditation. The second practice is called effortless mindfulness, not because no initial effort is made, but because of the discovery of an awareness that is already awake and has natural compassion.
Effortless mindfulness is an advanced, yet simple form of mindfulness. Rather than concentrating to calm and focus your mind, we will learn to intentionally shift into our awake aware mind, which is already calm, intelligent, and able to effortlessly focus. This is an important practice to learn for your journey of awakening.
Loch’s Award-Winning Book, Shift Into Freedom, and Audio, Effortless Mindfulness Now, can be found HERE.
