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

For anyone too shy to join a group, this online course is an ideal taster of the practice of Mindfulness. The sessions and video clips are easy to follow and easy to download, so that you can use them whenever you want and at times that fit into your own routine. I felt that Tessa and Ed's delivery was friendly and compassionate. Good ambassadors for Mindfulness practice. The website was also very easy to navigate yourself around.

This course made me think, learn and consider changing how I work. It has certainly calmed me down. Putting myself in the moment NOW and using the breathing techniques has certainly made a difference to me. Even if it's only for a short time, I now make a point of doing this. It allows me to reset my mind and put things into some perspective. Many thanks.

Thank you. This course has been extremely helpful in teaching me how to stay focused, especially the breathing exercises.

The course was very therapeutic and helpful, especially the Body Scan section.

I found the course revealing. Although I felt pretty confident before, I now feel better about being a 'loner'. I have a few good friends, but they have selected me, I have not gone out of my way to court them. I like botany and scientific things and so do they. The reason I took the Mindfulness course is because I have had Postherpetic Neuralgia for 22 months now, it's really painful and I cannot bear my skin to be touched. I have devised a shield out of a cereal packet that I can wear under my clothes. I look like a hunchback but I don't have to go to work or the shops etc. I can go out into the garden with it and do light work. Surprisingly, this course has helped - I accept the pain and look forward to the day "when I wake up and find that it has gone", as someone said to me.

I found a lot of the exercises really worked for me, mindful breathing is a quick easy and exercise that can be done anywhere and has really helped to reduce my stress levels. I would highly recommend that everyone should be practising mindfulness, this course was very useful as an introduction to mindfulness.

I found it quite hard to begin with. I felt some resistance as I tried to keep up with daily mindfulness, telling myself it wasn't worth it before I even tried. Throughout the course I have managed to confront my negative feelings more, not by always arguing with myself but through gentle encouragement and learning to trust myself more.

Finding myself with a few long term medical conditions was never part of my life plan. I found myself unable to sleep and when I did woke up more tired than when I had gone to bed, life suddenly became exhausting and stressful. I did not expect to get much out of the mindfulness course but from day one I felt less anxious, more peaceful and not quite as stressed as I had previously. This has continued throughout the course and I deliberately held back in completing it as I was not ready to finish it. I now feel I have the tools to continue on my own but will be making the most of my library access in the future. Thank you Tessa, Ed and the team

I found that the course has helped me take a step back and think things through properly instead of just panicking and not letting myself move forward.

Take mindfulness seriously it can definitely help you, try and set aside some time; the breathing technique helps to relax and reset. 

I found it very helpful and a worthwhile journey and it made a real difference. I'd like to start over again! I can use the videos and instructions to keep the practise up.

This course is really good and I would certainly recommend it.

I really enjoyed it.. but the only thing I found difficult was when I was receiving cancer treatment and had a surgical intervention too, so sometimes this made it difficult to be 100% with answering the assessments, as some things were dictated by my physical health as opposed to my mental health. I have found also that I have enjoyed doing the meditation ones too, in fact almost every day at some stage.. I definitely know now when I have NOT DONE THE PRACTISE.. and almost crave to find the time, particularly if its been a hospital day!!

I've enjoyed this course, it's given me useful techniques, enabled me to improve my mental state during times of stress and be more patient with people close to me.

Great course with so much helpful content. Definitely worth the money. My stress & anxiety levels have reduced, I'm remembering to enjoy the present moment & I feel optimistic about the future. Would certainly recommend this course.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this online course. I looked forward to what came next. The course has a great clarity, enabling me to follow the practises and access the practices easily. Thank you. There are no frills, just a clear and generous connection. It felt personal to me. It wasn't intrusive at all. I managed to work with the practices regularly and I am beginning to feel the real benefit. I feel freer, more relaxed and more comfortable in myself. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.

Fantastic course - well paced and flexible, great resources and weekly practices and reminders, all presented in a gentle, mindful way. I have benefited enormously from the content of this mindfulness course and am now hooked on meditation! Thank you for opening my eyes, reducing my worrying/stress levels and giving me the tools and techniques to enable me to see how important it is to be in the present, without judgement and nurture what is imperative in life.

Very helpful, taking time out to focus.

I made a couple of false starts with the course, but it remained open and available to me and eventually I was in the right place to work my way through. For me it was an experiment and I tried hard to remain open minded and to persist even when the exercises seemed weird or pointless. Having finished the course I'm glad I stuck with it. It hasn't transformed my life, but I have new perceptions and approaches to dealing with stress and negative narratives. When I find I have time and space to do some mindful breathing or one of the other exercises I look forward to it, and emerge calmer, stronger, more sorted. And so I feel I will stick with it, because it is helpful. Thanks to the course designers and leaders.

This was very helpful! Well presented! I will use the skills I learned here for the rest of my life.

Great course - helpful and supportive and not too much. Really felt motivated to do the practice and get the benefit.

It was good to do the course when I wanted, simple but helpful strategies to help. Things I would not have thought about. I also liked the fact I was not alone, and had help and support. The library idea is good too so I will be able to recap etc.... Thank you.

Thank you. Invaluable.
