Before I tell you all about this life-changing program,
Let’s talk about who the course is for…
You’re successful in most areas of your life—apart from the one area that probably matters the most.
You have a noisy chatterbox living between your ears—an overactive mind that runs the show and won’t leave you in peace for a moment,.
Despite all your efforts, you haven’t yet figured out how to switch the damn thing off at will, (yes, there is a simple way!) take back control and start living the rich and fulfilling life that, deep down, you know is possible.
Whether you’re…
- a chronic over thinker who has suffered for years from patterns such as anxiety, fear, guilt, or self-judgment and have tried all the conventional ways to fix the issue, without much success.
2. A self-help junky looking for more peace and self-acceptance through “working on yourself” (as I did for years). You’re forever reading self-help books, listening to podcasts, trying new ways to meditate—but in truth, nothing much changes inside. Your busy mind still drives you nuts most of the time.
3. Someone who, perhaps through meditation or through grace, has had a glimpse into a deeper, more expansive, more vibrant and alive inner experience…. and you are thirsty for more. You want to know how to dive deeper into the peace of your true nature.
- A healer, therapist, yoga, or mindfulness teacher looking to both deepen your own experience of present moment awareness AND to pick up some powerful new tools and practices to help transform the lives of your clients.
If any of these describe you...
then you’re in the right place, and I’m going to tell you exactly how "Switch Off Your Life, Light Up Your Life" will give you all the guidance, tools, support and inspiration you need to break free from the trap of overthinking for good and tap into a newfound sense of joy, purpose, aliveness and inner freedom.

Meet Richard Paterson
I'm an author, spiritual coach, meditation teacher and former monk who has been helping people find peace and inner freedom for over 20 years.
On a meditation retreat back in 2004, I made an extraordinary discovery…. one that changed my life.
Before then, I had been “working on myself” for years — trying every conceivable way to fix my overactive mind and heal my many inner conflicts—believing this was the path to finding peace and happiness.
And then... there I was, two short weeks into the retreat, perched on a bright red cushion, experiencing a level of peace unlike anything I’d ever known before—unlike anything I even knew was possible.
The amazing part was that all the old thinking patterns that had troubled me for so many years were still there, but they were no longer affecting my peace in the slightest. My relationship with them had fundamentally changed.
And now, almost 20 years (and three books) later, I've fine-tuned the art of helping others come to the exact same discovery.
I will show you how to experience ongoing peace... no matter what is going on in your mind.
And not just your average, run-of-the-mill experience of peace that comes and goes according to your changing moods, but the deep, unshakeable peace at the core of your being.
The culmination of more than 20 years teaching experience, “Switch Off Your Mind, Light Up Your Life” is a unique and comprehensive program that will walk you step-by-step through the process of, first freeing yourself from the grip of the mind and then, as a natural consequence, actualising the deep, meaningful and connected life that everyone longs for.
You’ll never look at your mind in the same way again!
So, let’s take a look now at the seven modules one by one to see what’s inside.
DISCOVER IT FOR YOURSELF
WHAT’S INSIDE
MODULE 1
LOST IN THINKING—THE HUMAN CONDITION
Everyone, without exception, has a restless monkey mind. When thinking is unconscious and running on autopilot, as it is in most people, there are two main consequences;
- we are slaves to the mind and lose our peace and vitality.
- living in our heads, we miss out on the fullness of life NOW.
The conventional solution is to 'work on yourself' for years to try and fix the monkey mind. In Module 1, you'll learn two other solutions which are far simpler, much more effective, and which take no time at all.
You will learn:
- The Raisin Exercise, which will give you a taste of being fully present in the here and now.
- why there’s no need to change or fix the mind to experience ongoing peace.
- the 7 false beliefs that keep most people trapped in their heads forever... and how to instantly be free of them.
-
how to access the still, silent space within that is not affected by any thought, feeling or emotion.
MODULE 2
BE HERE NOW—BREAKING OUT OF AUTOPILOT
- Most of our troubled thinking patterns run on autopilot.
- Becoming present stops unconscious thinking in its tracks.
- Trying to make the mind peaceful through effort is like trying to iron the ocean.

- 7 ways to instantly cut out the mind's incessant chatter.
-
a simple practice you can use throughout the day to stop the mind from wandering

MODULE 3
7 STEPS TO INNER FREEDOM
- Recognising the self-arising undercurrent of thoughts and emotions that flows through your awareness all day long and seeing how it cannot be changed (which is why trying to fix the mind is a non starter).
- Lasting peace comes from a shift in understanding alone—not from changing the content of the mind but from changing the way you relate to it.
- This new perspective wlll allow you to experience peace immediately—just as you are right now.
You will learn:

- how to “Light Up Your Life” — to effortlessly tap into the vast and unchanging field of conscious awareness that is your true nature.
MODULE 4
RESISTANCE IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF SUFFERING
- The more you resist the mind, the more power you give it… and the more you suffer.
- Understanding the concept of ‘second arrow’ will help you cut out 95% of the mind’s unwanted traffic straight away
- The best way to tame an angry bull is to give him a huge open field to run around in. Same with the mind.
- Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
You will learn:
- how to sit quietly on the riverbank and watch the river with an attitude of non-judgmental acceptance.
- how to shut up shop and stop engaging with the mind (thinking is NOT mandatory).
- how to fire the thought traffic policeman and hang out in the space of no mind instead.
- how to access the vast field of conscious awareness within, where you are already free.
MODULE 5
THOUGHTS, THINKING, AND STORYLINES
- Thoughts appear by themselves but thinking is a choice. You can switch off any storyline in any moment, if you choose to.
- The mind is a beautiful servant but a dangerous master. It has as much power as you give it.
- Kicking the thinking habit is like going to the gym. It's not difficult but requires practice and repetition.
- The mind tells more lies than Pinocchio.
You will learn:
-
the difference between thoughts arising by themselves, which can’t be helped, and the habit of thinking which is a choice and can be stopped in any moment.
- a powerful 4-step process to question everything the mind comes up with.
- the origin of the universal belief “there’s something wrong with me” and how clarity can set you free.
- to dive into the unending peace of your true nature with “A Journey Into Yourself” meditation.
MODULE 6
UNCONDITIONAL SELF-ACCEPTANCE
- The self-image (who you believe you are) can never be perfected because it is imperfect by nature. The unconditioned self (who you really are) cannot be improved because it is already perfect.
- You don’t need to change a thing about yourself to experience peace. You need to accept yourself just as you are… and in this, there is peace.
- 6 ways to accept yourself more through nurturing an attitude of compassion, kindness and self-love.
- Unconditional peace (or full self-acceptance) comes from discovering who we really are, beyond the ever-changing thoughts, feelings and emotions of the human condition.

- 3 simple practices to nurture kindness, compassion and self-acceptance.
MODULE 7
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SELF BETTER
- The most decisive event in your life is the day you discover you are not your thoughts.
- The awareness behind your thoughts is always at peace, always free, always content.
- If you are fully present for even a moment, peace is there. It’s who you already are. You don’t have to look for it or create it.

- Peak experiences and the true Self.
You will learn:

- the difference between an existence and a life— and how to make the shift.
