05 Nov 2024
Ever wondered what it truly means to “wake up” spiritually? In this episode, I sit down with Loch Kelly, an award-winning author, licensed psychotherapist, and recognized leader in the field of meditation, to explore the journey of awakening and how we can make it part of our everyday lives. We talk about how true growth combines both spiritual awareness and personal development, helping us find peace wherever we are. Loch takes us through simple techniques he calls “Glimpses” live in the episode so that we don't just conceptually know, but tap into a deeper knowing. He also unpacks how to do psychological work combining embodiment practices with Internal Family system "Parts Work,” which allows us to understand and accept all parts of ourselves. He guides us from Head to Heart so that we have an “embodied awareness,” moving from constant overthinking to a deeper, heart-centered focus.

Full Episode
We're not either one personality ego, like I am anxious. Oh, I should try not to be anxious. Oh, let me meditate to not be anxious. Or the other side of it is, oh, there's nobody here that's anxious. There actually is no self. So the middle one is to realize, oh, part of me is anxious. If you wake up, you have to continue to grow up.
And if you're growing up at some point, you reach a level where you have a strong, healthy ego. You have to wake up even from that because the emotions and the tenderness and the sensitivity and the healing of everyday trauma, which we all have requires something greater than our small self. And so Waking up, for me, is a developmental stage.
So it's not just an esoteric thing that's for the Olympic athletes of meditation, or you have to go off, join a monastery, or live in a cave.
For different learning styles, maybe we could try a few glimpses, and then we'll do more of an IFS one.
Let's do one where we're going to go from head to heart space.
Today I'm joined by a dear friend of mine, Ma Kelly, who's an award-winning author. He's a spiritual teacher and a fellow psychotherapist. And we're gonna unpack the different levels of awakening. He's got a beautiful framework, but also give you embodied inquiries so that you can experience what you are while you are actually diving into this episode.
He's going to unpack different levels of consciousness, sharing his map so that you don't get stuck in misunderstandings on the path of awakening, but also on the podcast, you're going to get some of his glimpses practices, which are embodied inquiries. So you can not just know it, but live it more fully from the episode. I hope that you enjoy it.
Locke, I am so happy to finally have you on the podcast. Welcome, welcome.
Thank you. This is so great to be with you here and to be with you and your audience and talk about whatever you want to talk about.
