Loch Kelly on Effortless Mindfulness in Everyday Moments

In this episode of Mindfulness Exercises, Sean Fargo and Loch Kelly explore the essence of effortless mindfulness—a direct shift into awake, loving awareness that doesn’t rely on heavy concentration.

Loch shows how quick “glimpses” can reset us, how flow isn’t the same as hyper-focus, and how using visual, auditory, or felt cues helps mindfulness land in everyday life and teaching.

Whether you’re a mindfulness teacher, therapist, coach, or a practitioner navigating stress or attention challenges, you’ll get clear language, quick practices, and compassionate tools to bring mindfulness into daily life and share it with integrity.
