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

Before the course I had done meditation on Headspace and also TM, but I think this mindfulness course really focused in on my stress and anxiety so that I started to realize the I needed to change how I perceived the world and that meditation on its own was not necessarily benefitting me fully. Now I feel I am starting to think differently and see the world in a clearer light. I think the course was very well structured and found the library easy to re-visit to access the recordings and listen to them. I have enjoyed it immensely as has my wife as she has seen the changes in me and how it has helped. I have now started reading the Mark Williams and Danny Pennman book on Mindfulness.

The Be Mindful course was great for a beginner like me. It made me more aware of my breathing and reminded me to pay attention to my feelings and how that makes my body feel. I will continue to be mindful everyday, be kinder to myself and develop this valuable practice. Thank you

I really enjoyed the way the course was set up, how it sent emails regularly and the videos aren't too long. I found it easy to understand and hope that I can continue to practice mindfulness in my daily life.

An excellent course, gentle and reassuring all along the way. Especially appreciated the reminders that it's OK to sometimes not feel 'mindful', and that it's OK that the mind does wander during mindful exercises. I would highly recommend the course.

I have found this course great and it has been very helpful in grounding my unpleasant thoughts and feelings. I am going to continue practicing so I can become better in using mindfulness in my everyday life Thank you

This was a really great, usefull and calming cause. I went into it feeling really overwhelmed with anxiety, and didn't really know what to expect but knew I needed help. This course gave me the space and time to learn mindfulness at my own speed, and provided me with great tools and reassurance. I think the best thing I've taken from this course is the ability to be kind to myself when it is most needed and how to move away from overanalysation which can often be scaring and unhelpful.

I found the practices were helpful indeed. They were explained clearly throughout in a way that was easy to comprehend. I have thoroughly enjoyed this course and would definitely recommend it to others.

I am glad to have enrolled on this course, as I have learned a lot about myself, how to control my fears, my anxiety, my stress, and irritability. Also, my physical body pain. Now I can manage any upsetting situations with the help of mindfulness exercises, that I am using in my everyday daily life. Thank you.

The course has been very useful in addressing issues which have affected me and I would highly recommend the course to others

I did this course at a time when almost every part of my life was falling apart so rapidly that I could not adjust and ended up with a complete nervous breakdown. The course did not solve my life challenges and it did not succeed in significantly lowering my stress levels as the external stressors are still there. But the course gave me tools to calm down long enough to allow myself to see that there can be a way back to a liveable life. And that's a gift worth receiving when you've lost hope.

This Mindfulness Course has helped me to cope better with symptoms and has improved my daily routine and coping skills overall. It has been very practical, interactive, helpful and engaging.

Highly recommended. I enjoyed and got a lot out of the BeMindful course. It is well structured, informative and teaches many effective Mindfulness practices. Mindfulness has allowed me to become calmer, less stressed and enjoy my life more.

At the start of the exercise I was greatly troubled and anxious. I was also not sleeping well. Throughout the course I kept an open mind to the exercises offered and contributed enthusiastically. As a result I managed to obtain a great deal out of the course and managed to reduce my stress levels and anxiety. By the end of the course I was also sleeping better, although not perfectly. I would certainly recommend Mindfulness as a support structure in addressing anxiety and stress levels.

This course was really paced well, with variety of practices that were fairly easy to fit in to the rest of my life, and really have made a difference to how I view things. Really good start for me, with supportive, informed teachers in Ed and Tessa. Thank you

A really well structured and caring course. No talking down to people - caring, empathetic and realist exercises and goals that most people could do. I honestly expect this course to be really tame and not help me seeing as it was on line and cost only £30, but I was really surprised - it was fantastic and it has moved me forward from a desperate position. I would recommend anyone try this if you are struggling with personal stress or demons.

I started this course at a very stressful time and it has helped me commit to making a change in my life. I can now see that being mindful could really help me.

I found some of the techniques more beneficial than others...but I think that's a common conclusion in any training...finding out what suits you is a learning experience in itself!...Commitment & practice is needed as told and it is not an overnight 'fix' .....so it is good to know that you can keep going back to all the techniques given over the last four weeks to be able to continue with the practices after you have finished the course. Thanks to you both.

It took a great effort on my part and a few weeks before I decided to embark on this journey, once I'd discovered it. I've done meditation in the the past and Tai Chi, but a long time ago, but even so, was still unsure this course would help. I'm glad I've done it. I've reconnected with how to breathe and to meditate. To realise that thoughts are not always facts and feelings are only temporary. To slow down and how to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. I'm by no means cured, this is going to take a long time and constant practice. And I've done this course whilst dealing with anxiety and stress, with some depression, heart problems of high BP and low heart rate which resulted in a changes in medication, and being on furlough for 3 and half months; which in some ways helped but also created it own anxieties. I would say even if you are unsure about doing this course, give it a go and be gently committed to it. Take two weeks to complete each week if you wish. I intend to go through the whole 4 weeks again, just to keep up the practice.

I can't believe how well the mindful breathing works for me. When I wake in the morning and before I go to sleep. I picked mindful toothbrushing as well ad it's something I already do every day. I was aware of mindful walking but this course put a whole new slant on it. Being able to access post course completion is great and ensures I can tap in when I wish to. Hope there's an option to have access going forwards too. Thanks to Tessa and Ed. Great together.

I was surprised to receive this course as a gift from close family members and initially went along with it mainly because I respect them . Despite stuggling at first to be honest with myself about where I was at and to keep the practices regular, I am very glad to have gone through this course. I am more aware about myself now and have felt the benefits of the practices. I know I have at my disposal a set of tools to go forward with. The weekly course sessions and remimders are very helpful . I appreciate that negative responses and difficulties were acknowledged and it is made clear that mindfullness is an ongoing journey, not a 'magic fix'. I feel optimistic about the future.

I found starting and completing the course very challenging. I was however in a very bad place with my mental health. It took me a bit longer to complete and I actually had to restart some weeks, as I found it difficult to concentrate. At the end of the course I felt I had improved and was a bit more in control of things. A month after completing the course I found I was slipping back into a bad place but in fairness I had done very little mindfulness. I realise now that I need to keep up my practice and that mindfulness is not a quick fix.

I started with no expectations, but I have gained the experience of how to be mindful in stressful situations and how to be kind to myself and finally, how to engage in mindful practice.

This course was just what I was looking for at a time when I was feeling particularly stressed. The flexible nature of the course, enabling me to come back when I had time and was in the right frame of mind to engage, enabled me to fit it into my weekly schedule without problem.
