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

great start to mindfulness and what it posses to support in the professional field.

I found the Be Mindful course helpful, especially as a neurodiverse parent to children with additional needs. What I benefitted from most was the support of my mentor Ann. Speaking to her helped to keep up my motivation and gave me a goal to work toward whilst on the course.

Very grateful to you for providing this for free to carers, I've learnt some useful techniques and its given me a new outlook on approaching stressful situations. My only feedback would be that some of the exercises, particularly at the start of the course are long. To the point I almost didn't continue with it as I simply wasn't able to make that sort of time commitment, with a job and severely disabled twins to care for. The one I keep coming back to is the three minute breathing exercise which says it all really : ) Nonetheless - thank you, I appreciated the opportunity the course gave me to learn and reflect.

I did the full course several years ago to great benefit. I now use the body scan most bedtimes. Have done for years. I have restarted using the 15min? Meditation on occasions - all to frequent- when feeling anxious. I’ve tried other meditations over the years. Mainly Buddhist. But keep returning to these. I signed up to the newer meditation. Didn’t make the time to do it properly. Will sign on soon. Have just been diagnosed with very early Alzheimer’s. Know it will benefit me if I can relax and take the time to do it regularly.

Four weeks ago i was enrolled on the Be Mindful Programme and felt nervous, anxious and did not believe i would find the time or the motivation to see it through. After just one week of doing the body scan exercise i could feel a distinct change in my stress and anxiety levels. This improvement was so marked that i was happy to continue and also manage my time better in order see the course through. As a person who has suffered with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, ADHD and OCD, for all my adult life, i can only say that after just one month the results have been very positive. I now feel much more able to deal with the pressures of life and take time to appreciate my surroundings. It is also a source of comfort to know that the exercises are stored in my library for future use. This is an excellent course.

This course was really great!

Nice introduction to mindfullness and how to incorporate it into day to day living.

Rewarding course. I feel inspired and optimism.

Breathing has always been my way of supporting myself in difficult or emotional moments. What I enjoyed was that I had never ever really though about my mind . Since doing this course I am now aware that I can put my mind into where I want it to be and using my anchor to bring me back yes my mind still wanders but I feel I can control this and take the time out for myself . I so enjoyed the body scan and mindful walking . I now enjoy my morning cuppa just focusing on that which puts my mind at rest allowing my self to focus on what my day requires. Most mornings I was like a headless chicken doing far too many things at once time which left me harassed and forgot things . I feel am in more routine which sets myself up for the day. I do the 3 minute breathing when I can . I found it difficult at first not to eat my raisin even funny but by exploring and taking the time to feel touch taste again it felt good also strange. I practiced a lot at my work place and one of my service users enjoyed listening in we spoke about the course he appear to settle well when I was practicing and listening to my course. A great course Thank you

Had a hard time completing course.

A very informative course and a good start to my new ' mindfulness ' journey Thank you Ed and Tessa and the mindfulness team.

An invaluable course in practising mindfulness in your daily life, which reduces stress and anxiety by slowing you down, making you think and breath first, which enhances appreciation for just being you and the things you do and experience - by doing this you feel you don't want to put yourself through unnecessary stressful and anxious situations, which can take a toll on your overall well-being. Definitely changes you for the better.

Mindfulness it took me a while to get going and have enjoyed the course and I think everyone should have a go and it will help you keep on top of things and relax too.

The course really helped me during a difficult point in my life and I really wished that I had done it sooner. I am glad that I can return to it for guidance if I need to. I would recommend it to others in my position.

A brilliant course with Ed and super to be able to log into resources afterwards Even when regular practice slips, the resources help me to calm my mind and return to a more relaxed frame of mind/being Thank you Ed

This course has enabled me to re-set and gain skills in self awareness which has made a significant positive impact on my personal and professional life. Thank you all.
