Ready to take your mindfulness practice to the next level? What if you could approach life by relaxing back and down into an already awake mind and heart? Join Diana for an inspiring and illuminating discussion with Loch Kelly, seasoned meditator and author of the bestselling book The Way of Effortless Mindfulness: A Revolutionary Guide for Living an Awakened Life about awake awareness, an advanced form of mindfulness that, through little efforts and shifts of awareness, imbues living from a more spacious, interconnected, and heart-centered space. 

Listen and Learn:* What is awake awareness?* What does “effortless” have to do with it?* How does awake awareness differ from deliberate awareness?* Awake awareness vs empathy* The value of “glimpses”* Why awake awareness is not a spiritual bypass About Loch Kelly:
