Mindfulness in Everyday Life
This introductory course is about mindfulness in everyday life. It’s one of the essential things to learn when it comes to mindfulness. The duration of this course is seven weeks which is perfect for both beginning and intermediate practitioners.
The essence of learning how to correctly apply mindfulness techniques into your daily life lies in the transformation of practice into an integrated way of being. Mindfulness, beyond being a mere exercise, becomes a guiding principle for approaching every moment with heightened awareness and non-judgmental acceptance. When we cultivate mindfulness in our daily routines, interactions, and experiences, we begin to nurture a deeper sense of presence and clarity. It allows us to engage fully in the present moment, breaking free from the shackles of past regrets and future anxieties.
By incorporating mindfulness into our daily lives, we create the potential for profound personal growth, improved emotional regulation, and enhanced compassion towards ourselves and others. Through consistent application, mindfulness becomes a powerful tool for fostering genuine happiness and a more meaningful existence.

About the course – Mindfulness in Everyday Life
Over the course of seven weeks, Mindfulness in Everyday Life introduces you to the first basic mindfulness breathing techniques and guide you to effectively integrate these techniques into your daily life, empowering you to face various situations and challenges with newfound mindfulness and resilience. By the end of the course, you can expect remarkable results, including a heightened ability to stay present and centered amid the demands of home, work, school, and while engaging in your daily activities like sports and driving. This enhanced mindfulness will not only lead to greater personal satisfaction and happiness but also foster more harmonious and meaningful relationships with the people around you.
Mindfulness in Everyday Life is the subsequent step in our mindfulness courses, designed to help you put your powerful mindfulness techniques into practice during everyday activities. Upon completion of this course, you can continue your mindfulness journey with one of our other courses.

Master Niels
Niels de Stürler Boekwijt is the founder of the Inner Mind Institute. In 2020, Master Niels practiced as a Buddhist monk in Thailand. He guided retreats in Thailand and The Netherlands in previous years, organized by the Inner Mind Institute. Now, Master Niels teaches many students online during live and on-demand courses.
Since 2010 Master Niels has traveled multiple times to Lampung, Thailand, to expand his knowledge about mindfulness, eventually becoming a monk for the first time in 2015. In 2020, Master Niels lived as a Buddhist monk for one full year to finish his mastership. His ultimate goal was to find enlightenment and to spread his knowledge to his students.
Daniel (MRP Trainer in training)
Daniel is a dedicated student of Master Niels and has been practicing mindfulness and meditation for four years. Guiding Pre-MRP1 is part of Daniel’s exam to become a certified MRP Trainer. Although he is yet to receive his certification, Daniel has already proven to have an extensive understanding of MRP and The Mindfulness Code. In addition, in February of this year, Daniel completed an intensive 7-day Essential Mind Retreat Program in a monastery in Thailand.
Working as an osteopath in his daily life, it is Daniel’s goal to help his patients improve their overall health and well-being by supporting their body’s natural healing process. By integrating his mindfulness practice with osteopathy, Daniel takes a more comprehensive and holistic approach to treating both the physical and mental aspects of health and well-being.
