An interesting and hopefully (for the future) rewarding course. Certainly one factor - mindful breathing - has played a big part in a recent testing experience which enabled me to get through the panic and achieve the objective.

I found the mindfulness course incredibly helpful. It helped me to see my thoughts as just that; allowing me to hop off thoughts and move on.

I was pretty sceptical about mindfulness when I started, but the more I learned from the course the more I opened my mind to explore what was on offer. By the end I was a lot more aware of what was going on in my head and felt more able to take control of my thinking and simply stop, even for a few minutes. This course is a really good introduction to a variety of mindfulness techniques. Having the video demonstrations really helps to keep up engagement with the course. I feel it's given me an awareness of different tools to use when things get tough, but as with any mindful techniques the bonus really is on me to take the time to properly practise when things aren't too bad. I'd recommend to anyone struggling with anxiety or who feels they are going through life at 100mph. I now cruise at about 30mph. Well within the recommended speed limit for your mind :-)

This course taught me how to take better care of myself at a critical time in my life. I am now revisiting it three years later to keep reminding myself how to best keep grounded and healthy.

I found the course extremely helpful. I used to be very anxious and would worry over everything. Since finishing the course I have carried on reading and finding out as much as I could about mindfulness and self compassion. This has put me on the right road of awareness and living in the moment. Many thanks to all the team.

The course has helped me through a very bad time at work. I was able to put stress aside and I feel I have become mentally stronger and able to cope. I have enjoyed the practices and even find I am sleeping better now. 

The course has been very useful, although this isn't reflected in my scores? However, I know the reasons for that happening and the course has actually helped me with dealing with those reasons? A bit of self-discipline is needed to maintain some of the work that needs to be done, though. So in this respect some of it has been difficult for me, personally.

This course has enlightened me to think about areas in my life that I take for granted or do not think about. Body, mind, taste, exercise and breathing. Slow progress for each module and also time to reflect. The pace of the course is very good for moving forward. Onwards and Upwards to sum up the whole experience.

I have found this course so helpful. It does take commitment to see the benefits but by making that commitment it spills over into other areas of your life. It took me 8 weeks to complete but I'm glad I stuck with it.

Professional lady working part-time. I began the course willing to learn some new techniques. I found the techniques have helped me navigate a very stressful time and given me practical tools. As a result of taking this course, I have seen considerable improvement in my anxiety levels. I have learned that thoughts are not facts and I should enjoy every moment of life. I will look into following this course up. I hope Zurich rolls this course out to the wider U.K. population. It is desperately needed. There is so much negativity and stress. Colleagues are just surviving and that really isn't good enough.

Brilliantly structured course with good, simple exercises to practise. Nicely timed reminder emails sent through the week to keep you on track. I have bought a book referred to in the course to continue reading and I will continue to practise when I can as it has given me a 'lifesaver' tool to help me at times when I'm feeling anxious or stressed. Many thanks!

Thank you very much! You helped me through a very tough time and opened up a new way for me to deal with everyday difficulties!

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.
