Mindfulness is a simple yet radical practice that can completely transform your life. Paddy Brosnan worked for many years as an investment advisor but felt trapped in a cycle of anxiety and anger. When he began practising mindfulness every day, he found that his relationships became more profound, his interactions with others more honest and his daily frustrations and anxieties simply vanished. In other words, mindfulness helped him calm down, and he became truly happy.   This Works is the collection of tools and exercises that Paddy teaches in his workshops and events, and includes examples of everyday mindfulness from his own family life. It shows you that literally anyone can learn to meditate, and you don't have to become a Buddhist monk to be truly zen. Through simple daily exercises, you'll learn that mindfulness is not something you do, but something you are.   Or, put simply, mindfulness can help you be truly happy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49509571559697,"sku":"GOR011257399","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49533231464721,"sku":"GOR009606820","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49653153530129,"sku":"GOR009880469","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735599685905,"sku":"NGR9781788171212","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50400629457169,"sku":"CIN1788171217G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1788171217.jpg?v=1781778742"},{"product_id":"treasury-of-mindfulness-book-paddy-brosnan-9780956386489","title":"Treasury of Mindfulness","description":"Paddy Brosnan has a gift for making mindfulness and the philosophy behind it immediately understandable in everyday life. Padraig O'Morain \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom author and mindfulness expert, Paddy Brosnan (This Works, Hay House, 2018) comes Treasury of Mindfulness. A collection of simple yet precious resources which will enhance your life and add to the quality of your everyday experiences. This book is filled with useful and engaging resources and tips and is ideal for those new to mindfulness and those who have been practising for some time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOpen this treasure chest to find whatever you might need at a given moment - and in the process, discover lots of other unexpected, delightful and useful ideas for living mindfully. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTreasury of Mindfulness opens with a couple of short, chapters outlining in simple terms the key principles of mindfulness and how to develop the practice in everyday life. Then there is the Treasury itself, where the reader can rummage around to find exactly what they are looking for, or, even better, in which they can randomly open a page whenever the mood takes them and trust that whatever they've landed on is something they will find helpful and thought-provoking. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach entry in the Treasury features one of four different kinds of mindfulness tools; \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-A Mindful Meditation - the formal practice by which we can develop our ability to live mindfully. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-Everyday Mindfulness - simple ways in which to incorporate mindfulness into the things we do every day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-Mindful Ideas - these are all things that the author has found to be really beneficial to his practice, and which have helped him live more mindfully. They are fun and will add a different, more relaxed quality to your life if you do them regularly. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-One-Minute Mindfulness - in times of stress, anxiety, panic or frustration, we are not always in a position to sit quietly and meditate for even 5 or 10 minutes. There are lots of mindful techniques to help us in moments of turmoil and some of the most useful of these are featured in the One-Minute Mindfulness exercises. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs well as the above, scattered liberally throughout the Treasury are a number of beautiful quotes from inspirational people, past and present - and some from the author of this book too. A great way to use these would be to think of them as your 'thought for the day', to be mulled over for a while before moving on. Also included is a separate chapter focusing on mindfulness for kids which features some really fun mindful activities especially for children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePaddy Brosnan is a mindfulness teacher and inspirational speaker.
