This Works looks at mindfulness from a fresh new angle. Looking at it as something of the utmost simplicity, Paddy Brosnan teaches that mindfulness is not something you do but something you are.

This includes wounds from the past, aspects of ourselves we’ve been conditioned to see as unlovable, and, more importantly, our repressed brightness: the golden shadow.

Scars of Gold places shadow work into a well-crafted framework of personal transformation that meets the listener where they are and guides them toward a fuller and more integrated life
