Nonmeditation

With effortless mindfulness we can shift to viewing from spacious awareness and be in a different level of mind that is stable, calm, and able to remain naturally undistracted. "Spacious awareness has the ability to effortlessly observe the arising of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and even subpersonalities—without needing to identify with them; to judge them; or to deny, oppose, or project them onto others." - from Loch Kelly's book, Shift Into Freedom

So this is called meditation without an object or non meditation or meditation without a meditator.

So if you just place your body on a chair,

Just allow your body to feel like it's resting in a way that it doesn't need to move.

And in fact it doesn't really have any job to do at all.

So you don't even need to keep it still.

Just let your body be as it is.

No big deal.

Just like your ears that remain open and can hear without any effort.

Just allow all your other senses to be the same way.

Just being without a need to do anything,

To know anything,

To create anything without even a need to meditate.

And allow your mind to be open like your ears as well.

Just open.

No need to even remember any instructions.

No need to notice anything,

To control anything,

To make any effort to do anything right.

So just being in a way that being begins to rest as itself.

So the mind can be natural,

The body can be natural,

And beingness can rest as this awakeness.

So just sitting,

Being with everything just as it is.

Any thought that arises,

Any emotion,

Any sensation is not being done by you.

Even the thought that begins with I am or I want or I shouldn't.

Just letting it happen,

Arising without intention,

Even a response you may begin to notice is just a reaction.

So just resting without a meditator,

Tuning in and finding that which already is not doing anything,

Which knows without knowing,

That sees without being in any one place.

There's nothing you can do wrong.

It's just happening.

Who you are is not doing anything.

Breathing is happening,

Thoughts may be happening,

Hearing naturally happening.

Who do they appear to?

Where is the hearer?

And in finding nothing,

That's the supreme sight.

Resting is that in which everything comes and goes,

Which includes that which comes and goes.

Experience appears.

What does it appear to?

The pond may be settling.

The sky may be full of birds or clouds or storms.

Just letting the natural weather happen.

Reviews

That was great, I like the idea and practice of egoless meditation. Makes me feel at home

Novel and full of curiosity. I had a genuine moment of excitement: “Oh, I get to do it WRONG.” Thank you!

Thanks, Loch! That set me up nicely for a longer sit that felt effortless 🙏🏼

Thanks 🙏🏻
I've been able to quiet my mind
Thing I haven't been able to do in a while

Love Loch Kelly’s clarity and calmness. A great practice.

Ive listened once. I have some DID symptoms, I am 43. Just becoming aware. This right here spoke to every nerve in my body! This made me do just somatic release in sensations. Very severly. I was wretching, but it felt so good! I feel like I just stretched everything. Cant explain but will follow!

❤️

Great … I was, however, awaiting an end note of some sort. Did enjoy the open space of clear, beautiful nothingness
Will return
Thank you

Wonderful meditation if you only have a short moment to sit. Powerful in its simplicity.

Fantastic! A clear guide through "nonmeditation". The comparison of open awareness with the constant openness of the ears was especially effective and profound.

Great “nonmeditation”. It gave me a perspective on stillness that I never thought about before.

I feel glimpses of the freedom from the storms of the body and mind when I listen to this.

A continual pointing toward no-thing… that which is! 🥰
Peace.

Here and now just at it is 💯 very nice, thanks

At mere suggestion to reframe ourselves as bodies, as Non-ness I somehow shift becoming part of a larger energy. I feel like I understand exactly what Loch is saying in my energy and physical body.
It’s a trip how available we can be to our selves and how the supreme spacious place that we are part of is a non-NewYork minute shift away!

Loch seems to have a special voice for bringing your awareness to awareness itself. Beautiful

One of my fav Loch glimpses. So calming by getting to the main point!

Simple, well guided.

Peaceful and simple. Nondual practice without brain strain.

So simple...so deep
