Shift into Freedom: A Training in the Science and Practice of Open-Hearted Awareness

Awakening is not limited to advanced meditators, but can be the next natural stage of human development available to all of us. It is a natural potential that we can access through what Loch Kelly calls “small glimpses, many times.” These practices expand upon basic mindfulness by teaching us effortless mindfulness and heart mindfulness.

In this audio companion to his new book Shift into Freedom, Loch Kelly guides listeners through unique modern versions of ancient meditation practices designed to awaken us to our true openhearted nature. Loch offers precise instructions and guided exercises for shifting out of our conventional ego-based mind-a process that progressively “rewires our mental operating system” and allows us to sustain a spacious yet embodied heart-centered awareness in every situation.

Teacher Motivation: Theory and Practice

Teacher Motivation: Theory and Practice provides a much needed introduction to the current status and future directions of theory and research on teacher motivation. Although there is a robust literature covering the theory and research on student motivation, until recently there has been comparatively little attention paid to teachers. This volume draws together a decade of work from psychological theorists and researchers interested in what motivates people to choose teaching as a career, what motivates them as they work with students in classrooms, the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic forces on career experiences, and how their motivational profiles vary at different stages of their career. With chapters from leading experts on the topic, this volume provides a critical resource not only for educational psychologists, but also for those working in related fields such as educational leadership, teacher development, policy makers and school psychology.

It offers a chronological review of the field, and a taxonomy for the study and practice of motivation.
