Water the good seeds (video)

24/03/2020

‘Water the good seeds’ is a Buddhist metaphor which recognises that a garden has the seeds of flowers as well as weeds. The weeds symbolise ruminating on negative thoughts about yourself and the world. To gain balance, we need to search out the seeds of flowers also. If we have to search to find them, that’s time well spent.

I have practised mindfulness since the late 1980s, have taught mindfulness throughout Ireland and in London, have demonstrated mindfulness on ITV, RTE and TV3 and have had books on mindfulness published in several countries and languages. I provide public and corporate courses. My latest book is "Daily Calm - 100 daily reminders to help you build the mindfulness habit." My aim is to make mindfulness easily accessible to people in their everyday lives.
