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

After having some difficulties dealing with the isolation of living on my own during the March 2020 lockdown, I decided I needed to take some action in case my town got lockdown-ed like that again. I looked at meditation courses and came across this one. I chose it because it looked short and practical and it is accredited by The NHS. I was not disappointed.... The course is full of useful video clips, with a series of exercises you can do to audio clips. The audio clips can be downloaded to your PC if you want. None of the video clips exceed 30 minutes, from memory, and none of the exercises exceed 30 minutes. So the clips can be fitted in pretty easily into a busy schedule. The whole series of exercises, taken together, give you a bunch of tools to use as and when you need to break out of that vicious downward spiral of your mind going round and round and not being able to get out if it... The more you practise the tools the more useful they will become. Certainly after 4 weeks I cannot say mindfulness is second nature to me yet, but I will keep up with the practice as already I have felt the benefit of these techniques. I commend the course to you

The journey of being mindful had really helped me coping with my stressors.

Excellent - gave me great tools to become aware of my sense of self and re-focus my energies. I feel much more grounded!

I found the videos, journaling, emails, and audios very helpful. The design was well thought of and the methods use were highly effective. Tessa and Ed were also very clear and articulate.

Not wishing to stereotype but as a man I feel I am allowed to be on this occasion. I along with many men in western society find it extremely challenging or near impossible to talk about and or share their emotions / feelings and mental health. I was one of these and my world, as I knew it was shattered by a cataclysmic emotional and mental health eruption at the beginning of 2020; anxiety, depressions, suicidal ideation. I couldn't talk about, share what was going on for me internally, not even to the people whom I loved. I could have reached for the bottle / drugs / ran away / become a recluse but I sought after much hesitation, thoughts that I was invincible, that I could manage and avoidance help and support. (I would urge all who read this to do the same - seek help and support, you do not have to be alone) During the interceding months I have received therapy and prescribed medication these were helping to some extent but I felt that I was stuck; almost like walking through treacle. Being inquisitive and wanting to find something / anything which would assist me and provide me with tools to enable me to achieve / improve my mental health and develop a better understanding of my emotions and responses I began searching the WEB. I found Be Mindful website or more accurately a 4 week mindfulness course. This was not a miraculous find but what it has enabled me to do is to sensitively and non-judgementally develop my awareness and understanding of myself, to treat myself with kindness and sensitivity whilst providing me with practical tools that I was able to use at my own pace. These tools have enabled me to continue my recovery but importantly provided me with an awareness and insight into how I can continue my life's journey in a different way. I thoroughly recommend the four week course, it will require commitment and motivation but in my opinion it is a great starting point to think about your whole well-being in a different, kind, sensitive and non-judgmental way and provides some great tools to help you manage your responses to life's stresses, thoughts and feelings. In short - there is only one of you, if you do not invest in yourself who is going to do it for you! As for me, I am now searching for additional courses / material to build on what Be Mindful has provided. WHY! because the investment is for ME and will also benefit those important and special in my life. Good luck and best wishes for your life's journey MD 12 10 2020 - a grateful participant of the Be Mindful four week course.

This is a great course to complete and is easy to understand and nicely laid out ,it has helped me tremendously with my anxiety at this unusual time of our lives as we cope with covid 19 on top of lifes usual stresses.

This course really helped me to begin to pratice mindfulness and I looked forward to each weeks session.

I found the course very beneficial to me. I started using meditation and mindful breathing as a tool to help me overcome my addictions, but as life got more hectic I slowly drifted away from the practice which resulted in my stress and anxiety going through the roof. This course has helped re-center my intent and focus in regard to my own personal self care and has reminded me to stick to what works.

A very well designed course, both educationally and aesthetically! Simple to follow and interact with, even cross platform. I enjoyed all the activities and really understood why I was doing everything that I was doing. Even if I found that something in particular didn't help me personally I understood why it might help someone else or even myself in the future. I feel confident to continue my mindful journey on my own now after this month and am feeling very excited about it!

Wasn't sure if this was for me. Some parts definitely aren't. However, the parts that are I will take onboard and continue to use when required. It's worth going through all the course and pick out what you need, but listen and try it all.

Wonderful course. I felt supported. Thank you.

I was very sceptical of this when I first signed up and to be honest I did find it hard to make time. But this course has shown me that if we do make the effort to make the time - we benefit. I feel more in control by 'just being'. Thank you

Very engaging, useful, interesting and helpful - thank you!

Comprehensive, clear to understand and relaxing.

An extremely well structured and clear introduction to Mindfulness. It's only a beginning but a very valuable one. Certainly excellent value for money!

The Be Mindful course was an excellent start to my mindfulness journey. All the advice and practices are simple to understand and can be done at a pace you are comfortable with. As well as helping with my depression, the contents of this course has made me live life just a little slower and take time to reflect on situations positively. Thanks Ed and Tess

Absolutely fantastic life changing course. I really wish this type of course was taught at schools as I would have loved to have learned these valuable techniques from a young age. So interesting, enjoyable and useful. I will continue to practice and revisit the course library. Thank you!

I found the course very helpful and have been able to use the exercises to reduce my stress levels. It’s great to be able to access the course in your own time, which worked great for me as I wanted something I could fit around my own life and I’m really pleased that I can still access them even after I have completed the course.

Found the course calming and helpful to know I was not alone. The videos cemented the practice and the daily emails encouraged you feeling you weren't forgotten and had a helping hand through the course. I feel more confident to deal with stressful feelings when they arise. Glad I joined.

Utterly brilliant, you really put it into easy-to-follow steps for me. It has helped me immensely! Thank you. Spot on.

Self-reflective practice. Therapeutic, beneficial.
