I have the doll to thank for finding Buddhism... two years unemployed between A levels and uni... very educational!

I'm sort of back there again now but with wealth this time!

Having seen it in schools I am very concerned about 'mindfulness', which is stripped of all its deeper philosophy.

Having an education system which induces stress and then patching it up with mindfulness lessons is painful to watch.

There is one group who definitely benefits... the pyschs who manipulate their way into designing the mindfulness programmes... they're really on the gravy train, it's a trend that's going nowhere!

I have a real problem with amateurs teaching mindfulness. It's like Gandhi not giving up sugar before advising that woman to stop giving her son sugar (I'm sure you know the story).

So mindfulness is excellent, but I have real concerns over the way it's being rolled out/ watered down.
