Mindfulness on the Go

“Packed with bitesize techniques to ‘turn frantic and frazzled into calm and composed’, whenever and wherever you find yourself.” —Irish Tatler

You lead a busy life. You’re constantly running between tasks, notebook in one hand, iPhone in the other. You’ve probably heard about the benefits of mindfulness and added “Start doing mindfulness” to your ever-growing to-do list. But frankly, who has time to meditate every day, chant in the lotus position or read long books on finding inner calm?

This brilliant handbook is packed with suggestions for ways to help you slow down, refocus and practice a form of mindfulness that actually fits in with your hectic life. Wherever you’re going, whatever you’re doing, you can make these mindfulness techniques a seamless part of your daily routine, without having to put any special time aside for them—and so feel calmer and less stressed—at work, at home, as a parent, in your relationships or when traveling.

“This book, by an inspirational mindfulness teacher, would be worth reading for the first chapter alone—before you get to chapter two, you’ll be practising mindfulness without effort. The rest of the book is full of user-friendly suggestions, based on the author’s 25 years of practising and teaching. If you think you’re too busy to practise mindfulness, you really need this book.” —Marcella Finnerty, Director, Institute of Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy

“Padraig’s book makes it easy to make mindfulness part of our everyday lives. As a writer and poet he communicates with clarity and makes an abstract concept easy to understand. It’s accessible and practical.” —Dr Tony Bates, Founder Director, Headstrong
