Shift Into Freedom
The Science and practice of Open-Hearted Awareness
by Loch Kelly
Sounds True
I hand it to this author for tackling the task of putting into words something that is experiential. The author calls spiritual awakening “openhearted awareness” which, he says, is not limited to “advanced meditators or tireless seekers.” The purpose of this book is to share what he has been teaching for over 20 years.
He offers awareness practices for body, mind, and emotions that can be done in the midst of daily life. He says, “The unique premise of this book is that wellbeing is not found by calming the mind, changing our thoughts, or adjusting our attitudes but by actually shifting into a level of mind that is already calm and alert.”
The book is a combination of ancient wisdom, modern psychological insights, current neuroscience research and unique awareness practices. This is a book you “do” more than one you read and it offers some truly valuable life-changing insights and guidance.
