About The Author
Paul Chapman
Hello - my name is Paul and I'm the author of The Mindful Mason, I’m a Freemason from Surrey in the UK where I'm an active member of Oak Tree Lodge.
I am also the custodian of @TheMindfulMason on Instagram, Facebook and X where I post a mix of Masonic memes and Mindfulness quotes to make you smile and make you think.
My day job is as a Project Process Manager, where I manage large teams of Process Engineers on Oil, Gas and Battery Metals mega-projects. Something I've done for nearly thirty years.
Inspired by Episode 11 of Craft Cast : The Freemasons Podcast, which talked about mental health and aired in mid-May 2023, it occurred to me that while there is increasing awareness of mental health issues and people are more encouraged to speak up if they are suffering, there was less said about tools and techniques that can be used to help manage stress and overwhelm.
So I decided to write about my experience with Mindfulness techniques. Over the past few years, I've tried a number of tools that have helped me in my life. My hope is that you will also find activities and inspiration from the book. Be sure to check out the various Mindfulness links, Masonic Links, and other resources too.

Feedback
This is my first venture as an author, so I'd love to hear from you. Let me know how you get on with the ideas in the book. If you have some other
techniques that you find useful then get in touch. Who knows, maybe there will be enough for a volume 2 !!!
