Ruby’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Way of Effortless Mindfulness: A Revolutionary Guide for Living an Awakened Life

The Way of Effortless Mindfulness: A Revolutionary Guide for Living an Awakened Life by Loch Kelly

Here is my definition of effortless mindfulness: Effortless mindfulness is letting go of thoughts, present moments, and attention—opening to a naturally compassionate, nonconceptual awake awareness that is interconnected here and Now.
