The Time Of Your LIfe

With Tony Brady

Life is the most precious of gifts. It comes to us one day at a time. Through the practice of mindfulness and encouraged by this course, you will discover how to make the best use of this precious gift. Over the seven sessions, you will explore presence, connection, mindful work, coping with change, the importance of rest, the life-changing practice of gratitude, and how through the practice of daily mindfulness you can tame what is described as the wild elephant of your ever-busy mind.

Lesson 1

It All Begins With Presence

The Buddha tells us, “Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” At times, we can find ourselves in one place our minds are occupied elsewhere. This split deprives us of the joy of experiencing the here and the now. In this lesson, we consider how we might establish some routine way of bringing ourselves back into the present moment at different times during the day.

Lesson 2

The Gift Of Connection

We hear reports of an epidemic of loneliness afflicting our world. How can this be when we have never had so many means of communication? In the journey of life, it is ever more important that we make time for family and friends and that we work to develop meaningful relationships with the people accompanying us on the way.

Lesson 3

Mindful Work

You might be among the fortunate people who earn your living by doing work you really enjoy. Mark Twain tells us, "Find a job you enjoy doing, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life" Work is an important part of our lives, so we have to find purpose in the work we do and meaning in the care and attention we give to our job.

Lesson 4

Living With Impermanence

How can we manage to find contentment and happiness in a world of constant change? Most of us are inclined to feel more comfortable with the old familiar. But when we look around, we notice that everything changes. Is there some way we can learn to accept and even love impermanence since we are going to have to live with it anyway?

Lesson 5

Mindful Rest

The pace of life seems to be quickening all the time. In our always-connected world, can we find time to pause and stop? Notice how we are inclined to fill any free moments with some activity. Is it really possible to just relax and enjoy watching the clouds pass by day or to simply sit down at night and watch the moon and stars in the sky?

Lesson 6

Gratitude Every Day

There are so many reasons for thankfulness, and we are told that an attitude of gratitude is life-changing. We can find reasons for gratitude all around us from the first light of day until we drift to sleep at night. How could we possibly go through life without expressing gratitude for all the gifts of our existence?

Lesson 7

Taming The Wild Elephant

Our undisciplined minds often jump from thought to thought, We can be restless and reactive. We can be knocked off course by distractions, which add to our anxiety and leave us feeling of lack of direction. In this distracted state we can operate on auto-pilot and we see the unhappy consequences that can follow from that.

Tony: I loved your choices of focus for each day of the course. My morning is not complete without a meditation from you.! My husband and I listen together and then find time to reflect and share what was especially resonant for each of us. Your sessions fuel connection, gratitude and love which spills out into the rest of our day. We are both so grateful for your presence and positive impact in our lives. 💖
