We're proud of everyone who's completed the Be Mindful program and achieved lasting life-changing results

This mindfulness course came at a time when I needed it most. However because I was struggling with my stress it may have been more helpful to have taken this course when life is calmer, so that I had more time and space in my head to do the exercises correctly and often. I found the audio exercises the most enjoyable, as they were better at teaching me exactly what you’re supposed to do, and guiding me when I felt overwhelmed. However, it wouldn’t always calm my mind and physical symptoms, it is all a work in progress. Towards the end of the course you are supposed to practice on your own but I found this the most difficult and often forgot to do them or got distracted during the practice. Even so I’m glad I’ve taken part and will try and keep mindfulness as part of my daily routine. I am hoping that the more I do it the more beneficial it will become. I think mindfulness would benefit everyone and will be recommending it to all my friends and family.

I started this course when I found myself off work due to work related stress with high levels of anxiety and found the practice of Mindfulness very enlightening and helpful. By taking time out to breathe and practice Mindfulness techniques such as Mindful Movement I became much more grounded and appreciative of the present moment and better able to stand back and see the situation from a fresh perspective - helping me to feel calmer and better able to cope. I would recommend this course. Many thanks.

I have found mindfulness practice very helpful in my medical practice especially for chronic illness patients with Diabetes, Hypertension, Insomnia and Anxiety. It's a way to be self aware of your situation and once you are aware you allow your mind to help you give clarity and details to find ways to its solution. I have myself felt the change and have become more aware of my own situation enjoying every second and every moment of each day. It has added so much value to my life. Looking back I am so thankful of this life and every opportunity it has offered me, which makes so much sense now. A wonderful course that should be made compulsory in schools and every offices and should be practiced by everyone.

I was finding things very difficult before the start of this course. I was unsure about taking an online course but wanted to do something positive. It took a while and I repeated some weeks of the course, but gradually I began to notice I was feeling a bit better and more cheery. I have certainly felt the benefit of doing the exercises and feel better able to cope. I will continue mindful practices - having the exercises available after completion is brilliant. I definitely recommend this course.

This mindfulness course was there for me at the touch of a button, anywhere and everywhere I needed it. From now on it is such an important part of my life I don't know why I didn't use it earlier.

The entire journey of the course was wonderful. I have learnt so much. Thank you so much.

It was a great experience and I personally thank you guys for helping me out here, now it feels better to be with myself and it's a completely different way to look at myself.

The course is simple, and great. (Although rather perfect)!) I forgot to finish, but did so just now, which is perfect as i’m actually teaching mindfulness on a local radio and require ideas that I pick up here! and will flow with today. Having a face to face or fit for children course sounds fab! I know kids adore this! Here there’s so much violence and I’ve asked people to connect to their breath, while denouncing violence themselves. I am sub prefect of Mancora in the north of Peru, a village with little to no inspiration to live actively producing and interacting in any other way than drinking liquor! I'm determined to wake up to this present moment experience and practice. Thank you from the bottom (or top!) of my heart! 

Thank you for putting the course together, it was well paced, offered reminders and is well resourced - a very good start for me.

I have really enjoyed this course and it has really helped me to concentrate on the more important things. My stress levels have come down and feel I can go forward and practice all the activities that I've learnt. Thank you

I enjoyed the course, and have found it very useful, but hard work for me.

The Be Mindful Online course was excellent for a beginner like myself. Though I spent a great deal of time away from the course since when I first started, I thought it was important for me to finish. This course was the first for me on the topic of mindfulness. I look forward to exploring this practice called mindfulness.

Well worth doing the course.

I had been wanting to try a course like this for quite some time and Be Mindful was definitely a good choice. Breathing in and out should be so easy but once I started the course I realised that often, in my daily life, I was holding my breath, which is not healthy, at least for me. I got so much out of this month long course that I will keep it up. It has made me think about being in the moment and also to be kind to myself and find ways to make life easier. Mindfulness is not a quick fix; it is a way of life and it will take me a long time to master it but I am going to try. Thank you Tessa and Ed for your words of wisdom.

The course design and platform are really high quality with thoughtful touches that show someone has put a lot of work in. The tutors in the video tutorials are calming and delivered professionally. The course provides some excellent instruction and help in this field and I felt it was a great aid and resource to me. Some great resources also to re-visit. No pressure, just encouragement. Suited to men and women. Thank you.

I have found the course has many helpful practices which you are clearly supported through. I like the regular input given but also the regular input required by you as this helps to make you commit to the activities and therefore to yourself and your well-being.

Found the course more useful than I thought I would. It enabled me to work at my own pace and when I had time to concentrate. Thank you.

This course has been incredibly helpful during a very traumatic time, it may have taken me a little longer than the 4 weeks (more like 4 months) to complete, but sadly my mum died. I feel this course has been incredibly helpful in managing my grief and stress and keeping me grounded when I've been overwhelmed. Thank you.

I found the course valuable. At first it was difficult because very shortly after I started it, I had an unexpected serious accident which disrupted my everyday schedule. I had medical appointments and days when the pain was too much and I was simply 'tense' incase I twitched the wrong nerve. But I found that the build up of the copies of exercises in the library was especially helpful to me because it gave me the flexibility to schedule my introduction to the exercises which I would have otherwise missed. The course had very welcome flexibility and I learned how to use that. I like the visual presentation very much. The greys were great in helping me to concentrate and of course, the neutral but amiable tones of the presenters. I am keen to practice further and to look for online, textual and local resources.

This course has been excellent. It has provided me with valuable tools and practices to use when dealing with stressful situations in daily life. I now look forward to my meditation practices as this give me time to be mindful and provides calmness in a busy non- stop world. I can now get out of the auto pilot mode and appreciate each moment as it arises.

I have found the course very useful and I will continue to use the relaxation and breathing techniques as they complement the yoga I do. I hadn't realised that the habit I have of switching off and looking at a tree, cloud, etc. was mindfulness.

After a slow start repeating week 1 to do it properly then also week 2, by week 3 I found it was easier to fit in the formal practices. Also I joined Meditainment, which is a more accessible and fun form of meditation - as also developed by the same webgroup it's a surprise it's not signposted somewhere on this site! Really glad to have finally incorporated Mindfulness into my life after planning to for a considerable time...

A useful, informative and progressive course that embraces a number of different Mindfulness exercises. There is something for everyone. The course is particularly supportive, and the messaging and e-mails encourage you to continue with the course.
