I highly recommend the Buddha patch. It is fast, quick and effective!  It costs next t o nothing and takes no effort. If you don't believe it, well, you might be better off booking into an MBSR course.


Mindfulness courses like anything else that is marketed are often sold on their positives. They promote a self-improvement slant. You'll be more productive, more appealing, calmer, a better person!  You can read a few of my blog posts to get rap on some of the substantiated benefits of mindfulness  Post1, Post 2 and these benefits can be real and have an strong evidence base. 

​But the state of the world right now is difficult and perhaps the capacity of mindfulness training as a way of "being with the difficult" is more important than it's shinier surfaces.

Read on for some answers to these questions.
