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

I found the course useful in a gentle way, allowing me to progress at my own pace and not adding an extra layer of stress by giving unrealistic goals. It was nice to feel you are not competing to get a result at the end of the course. This was just what I wanted., It allowed to be aware of living in the present rather than regretting the past or anticipating problems in the future.

This course made me realise how much I react to everything in my life. It has taught me to stop, be aware and act, instead of reacting.

Great course to get started with mindfulness practice which has really inspired me to take it up again and try to keep it going this time! Sorry it's over now but I'll definitely come back and use the resources.

At first you may feel self-conscious but you will find some practises work better for you and will choose them permanently. The course seems to be based on practical methods not just hypothesis. Not pushy but encouraging. Well worth trying as it is practical and you can choose the parts that help you most.

I was pleased to see that my stress, anxiety and something else (depression?) levels had all reduced by the end of the course. This was truly surprising because I had received some extremely disturbing news during the final two weeks, which had possibly distressing implications.

I found the body scan very useful indeed.

thank you for the course - as you say, it is all about practice. I hope to keep it up and I am sure I feel better. It is very difficult re-educating yourself, especially a mind that is constantly racing, so thank you I will keep up the practices, they will help us and our overall mental health and physical health probably.

This has a been a useful course and helped me to get clarity on unhelpful thoughts over the last couple of months. I found the early exercises less helpful, but definitely recommend the meditative breathing. I would recommend this course for anyone who is feeling overwhelmed and stressed for whatever reason.

I like giving myself my own space and time to just be. I find listening to the audios and doing different exercises very calming and therapeutic. It helps me to let go and be in the moment. I feel it is doing me good mentally which in turn will be helping me to feel better physically. I know that practicing the Mindfulness exercises is something that takes commitment and that the benefits of doing the exercises on a regular basis may take quite a long time to become really noticeable. I have been to counselling sessions for different things throughout the past 25 years and I am still learning more about myself every day - it is an ongoing process. I view the changing of my mindset through doing the Mindfulness exercises in the same way that I view the changing of my mindset through going to my counselling sessions. I am learning new ways of thinking and dealing with issues that are going on in my life and this process will continue throughout the rest of my life.

I've a way to go yet at achieving a mindfulness approach but I do feel that I have something to turn to, an anchorage which will help me at times when I feel overwhelmed and not knowing where to turn. I now feel that I have somewhere where I can at least attempt a safe harbourage.

I would definitely recommend this course,

I found the course very useful in its overall contents. It helped to reassure me that I am on the right track and that helped in increasing my confidence. I believe that the benefits of this course lie in the will of the person and in practicing by introducing it into our daily life.

Very helpful

I want to say how helpful the course has been to me; making me more aware of life skill qualities. By my assessment, I can see how far I have come & will continue to use the new skills I have learnt going forward with my life. Thank you Ed & Tessa.

The course really helped me to get through a very difficult time in my life. I highly recommend it to anyone.

The course was very interesting and helpful.
