What is mindfulness? How can I make it part of my day?
“Over several years, I have continued to obtain great benefit from Padraig’s wide range of helpful material – books, articles, online courses, audios, posts. He has the rare ability both to impart kind, compassionate and useful thoughts from his own knowledge and experience AND to summarise in a very practical way the salient points from other teachers and authors. I recommend his work very strongly.”
Peter Loschi, Manchester, UK“I have been to your course, Padraig and I’m reading your books and doing your online courses as well. I’ve found them all to be insightful and delivered with ease. They are definitely changing my outlook on life for the better.”
Heather Ogilvie, Northern Ireland“First of all, I want to say how much I enjoyed listening to you for the 2 hours. It was like an oasis of calm in an often too hectic world.”
H.R. from CorkAnywhere and any time you’ve got an internet connection. And as most of the material is downloadable, you won’t even need an internet connection if you’ve saved it. So you can do it at home, at work (don’t get caught), on the beach, on the moon – wherever you like, morning, noon and night.
You could read each of the 15 lessons in an hour or less but what really matters is to do the mindfulness practices between each lesson and the next. This is how you get to build mindfulness into your life. So the answer really depends on the amount of time you give to the practices (which are fairly short in themselves).
Don’t worry, the course will be there for you when you get back. You can break at any time and come back. You can postpone starting after you’ve bought it. The remains available indefinitely because lots of people have to turn their attention to other issues that crop up.
