I have really enjoyed this informative mindfulness course. I already practice meditation and yoga but this course has shown me and given me an insight of how to live and enjoy living in the Now. Thankyou Namaste ??

This course has really helped me during the challenging time of transitioning out of lock down and working from home into a full time return to work as a teaching assistant in a local primary school. I now feel I have tools that I can use when things are starting to feel overwhelming that will ground me, bring me back into the present moment and help me to obtain a perspective in order to move forward. I also appreciate that Ed and Tessa have continually stressed that you can choose practices that work for you moving forwards, you are not expected to do everything, just what suits you. I am also appreciative that the library will remain open for me to access information.

I found the course great length wise with short and snappy podcasts this really helped me focus knowing I was not taking too much time out. It’s a balancing act! I like the tools and I feel more focused more resilient and not as despondent as I was - thanks, I really appreciated being given the opportunity to do it too from Charity for civil servants.

Seeing my stress levels at the start and the end was amazing and proof that it really does work!

There has been a lot of common sense advice and useful techniques which can easily be incorporated into your daily life without being overwhelming. I felt the course gave a 'gentle nudge' of encouragement when it was needed. Reminders and tips that you can take away with you for the long term.

I was quite sceptical at first about the course but I am so glad I did it. Firstly I thought it would help me to understand my daughters anxieties and depression but as I progressed, I realised I have pressures of my own. The course helped me to realise that thoughts are not always real and the breathing strategies really do help you to switch off from unneeded thoughts. Also the length of the sessions are great because you don't feel tied to it. Thank you for the opportunity of the mindfulness course.

I was not confident if the course would work but I was pleasantly surprised of the end results I feel more confident and generally more happy within myself.

This course is brilliant as an introduction to mindfulness. I took the course as my first experience with mindfulness and it helped me to understand the principles of mindfulness meditation and how to bring a mindful attitude into everyday life. The length of sessions was just perfect to give me enough guidance while being able to fit them in a busy life. A truly transformative, life-changing experience!

Great introduction with helpful strategies to slow down, be aware of ones body and mind and reduce stress levels. Clear instructions with no pressure to 'perform'. Everything at ones own pace and choice.

Taking this course has helped me a great deal. I now feel more centred and my anxiety levels are almost gone. The exercises are invaluable, and I will continue to use some of them as part of my daily routine. Thank you very much

Thank you for this experience, it was very practical and helpful. I truly enjoyed it.

I have learnt a lot from completing this course and most importantly I have learnt to be kind to myself. I have learnt the different feelings I experience are okay and then I have developed strategies to ease these anxieties and worries. The course was very interactive and I found this way of learning to be very engaging. Thank you for giving me the chance to recognise and learn new skills of mindfulness, they have really helped to ease my anxieties and I feel much more equipped to deal with the different situations that I will be faced with throughout life. I know I need to practise my newly learnt skills and remind myself daily about the parachute scenario you used to show the importance of practising. Thank you :-)

I began this course during lockdown in the UK, and it was at the end of a really tough period. I didn't really know why I was felt anxious a lot of time, and was feeling quite nervous about signing up to more formal types of therapy. This course provided the perfect bridge, allowing me to move at my own pace, and requiring me, not to focus on solving my anxiety, but just to be with it, and bring it under control in a really simple effective way. This felt unintimidating, and I now feel much more confident and have signed up for another online CBT course to learn some different approaches as well.

I found the course easy to follow and Tessa and Ed very clear and gentle in their guidance. It is also good to have access to the practices after completion as meditation does take time to master.

It took me a year between the initial sign-up for the online course, and actually paying to do the full course. I shouldn't have left it more than a week. The course has been invaluable, and an excellent foundation to the practice to Mindfulness. I really enjoyed the structure of the course, the videos, and the emails and the exercises. All were motivational. The fact that you could repeat any of the weeks helped to cement the practices and theory. It's really important to dedicate time to complete the course, but the impact and rewards are far-reaching. I will continue with Mindfulness practice using the information in the library. I can't recommend this course highly enough.

I really enjoyed my mindful journey and looked forward to the emails informing me of the practices we were going to do that week. The Library is great as you can access and revisit audios to do the exercises when ever you want.

Be Mindful’s mindfulness course has been a great introduction to practicing mindfulness, it has allowed me to understand the principles while fitting it easily into my everyday life. The videos and exercises have been a great guide and it’s a lovely resource to be able to refer back to even after the course is finished.

The course really taught me how to be kind to myself. To be able to take a step back and look it. The exercises and support was amazing. Thank you.

A very supportive, calming, and practice based course, with easy guidance. I found the whole concept of mindfulness, particularly the breathing exercises extremely beneficial. After 4 weeks I feel considerably more settled and more able to face the challenges of every day life. Good to know I can always revisit the work I have done. I will try to incorporate Mindfulness into my daily life.
