Mindfulness Online Course
On the weekend, via Twitter, I was alerted to a free six week online mindfulness course from Monash University called Mindfulness for Well Being and Performance. It is hosted by well known experts Dr Craig Hassad from Monash University and Dr Richard Chambers.
Craig is a General Practitioner and Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences and has authored nine books including Mindful Learning with Dr Richard Chambers.
Dr Richard Chambers is a clinical psychologist specialising in mindfulness. He was involved in the development of the Smiling Mind smartphone app designed to make mindfulness accessible to more people.
The course starts on the 14th September and runs for six weeks and requires approximately two hours of your time each week

The course offers background information and practical strategies for bringing mindfulness into your personal and professional life.
I have enrolled in this course and look forward to learning about this important way of living. Hopefully it will help me get a better night's sleep!!
