At Healthy Mind For Life, we recognise that in our busy, modern, complicated society, individuals often have limited control over external events that contribute to distress. However, what most individuals have not realised is their extraordinary potential to change the way they relate to external events.

The mind that reaches out … to provide what it seems to lack itself, is a mind that is ignorant of its own resources for peace and happiness. - B. Alan Wallace

It may make good sense to change external circumstances where feasible but shouldn’t we also work on our internal mental contributions to the causes of our distress? We help clients to do both and we believe the mind is where we have the greatest influence. Over 1,200 years ago the great philosopher Shantideva posed: “It is not possible to control all external events, but if I simply control my mind what need is there to control other things?” We think Shantideva was right but for most of us controlling the mind is far from a simple task, and that’s where we come in.

We give you the insight and wisdom to gain greater control over your own happiness.
