Really great course, well structured, bringing you into a deeper appreciation of the present moment. Glad I've taken it, to assist my mental health. I particularly like the 3-min breathing space: Acknowlege, Gather, Expand -- it works, just observe cats - they use the same technique. Thank you Ed and Tessa

When I first started this course my stress level was 34 and I have just redone the assessment as I have finished the course and I am now at 17! And nothing in my life has actually changed, the stresses are still there but the change has come from me. Can't believe it took me so long to give mindfulness a go, I kept thinking it was too simple to work and I tried everything else but there I was at rock bottom with just one thing I hadn't tried and I am so glad I did. Simply amazing!

This was a really useful way to undertake some mindfulness training when I wasn't able to access a group near where I lived. The course was well organised and practices were clearly described. The website was easy to use, and email prompts to log in for the next part of the course were timely and useful. Thank you.

This is the second time I have completed this course, its a great online course, and fabulous value, in content and resources and the support to keep you going. this time I have changed a lot and incorporated being mindful practice into my daily routine. It has helped me to relax while being off work with a bad back and the relaxation and breathing has helped me to deal with pain and anxiety during this time. thank you

I enjoyed the course and I feel it is tremendously important to me because I have had a life time's struggle with anxiety and depression. I can already see some improvement and as I continue forward with Mindfulness I am sure it will be a big asset for my good health.

I found the course very helpful, particularly the system of reminders and prompts to continue from one week to the next. There was a good range of exercises to choose from, most of which I liked and will do in the future. I feel better equipped to cope with some of the challenges that lie ahead of me, but recognise that I am still a beginner. Many thanks, John

I found mindfulness at a time in my life where I felt controlled by my feelings and experiences and putting myself under undue stress causing myself anxiety and worry... Mindfulness practice has transformed my life, being something I chose to do, and found time to focus on has been powerful - but the practices themselves are so easily woven into daily life that they begin to make a real difference to your capacity to cope with stress. I found through the course I was able to half my stress levels on the test - which is something I am so proud of... watch the taster, understand the background and read some testimonials but if you're curious it's worth jumping in and finding yourself.

Mindfulness has opened a new window in life for me, it is a new tool that I now have at my disposal to enable me to be the person I would want to be, get the most out of each day and enjoy life.

I am glad I took this course. It wasn't my first mindfulness course but I felt that I needed to keep on learning and practising it. I particularly enjoyed the guided meditations, which I've saved to my MP3 player and constantly refer to.

This course has helped me so much. I has opened up a pathway for me to develop a different way of coping and made me feel good about the fact that I had naturally been using some of the practices in my life already.

I found this course extremely useful...it has enabled me to think about aspects of my life (that I felt were very fixed and rigid), in a more open and honest manner without beating myself up over them.

Fantastically useful course - helped deal with the first experience of anxiety in my life (at 51!), following a period of illlness, financial problems and family issues all arising at once. Stress levels went from 29/40 pre-course to a third of this, afterwards.

I think the course has been very helpful. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue earlier in the year. I have had a few months off work and have had help from a CBT therapist (to help me to feel less anxious) and I have also completed this course. I am feeling a great deal better now and less stressed and anxious than I have for a while.

I Loved the course - clearly explained and presented - thank you for helping me get back in touch and back in the drivers seat. It is so easy to let stress build and accumulate and look for distraction rather than doing something healthy about it...

This course has been very helpful and interesting. The range of exercises with audio accompaniment as well as the guidance from the midweek sessions really helped me to remain motivated. Be Mindful Online has given me an invaluable insight into what is means to be mindful and has allowed me to develop better ways to manage anxiety and lead a happier life.

The course gave me some new momentum to continue with efforts at mindfulness practice, which I had begun trying about five years ago. It is a manageable commitment level, yet enough to motivate to continue. For those who have previously read the Kabat-Zinn reference on mindfulness practice, this is recognizable as a more manageable introductory program that includes the core of his 8 week program.

The course gave me some very simple messages and techniques which are easy to adopt in my daily life. These were helpful in increasing my self awareness and reducing my stress levels and I will definitely use some of them regularly in future.

I really enjoyed the course, it was easy to follow and it took you through the process step by step. I now feel more focused, less stressed and more able to detect the early signs of stress in my body, enabling me to do something about it before it becomes overwhelming. Thanks so much guys! Lizzy

This course is really useful in starting to become mindful. It is user friendly and I particularly like the 3 minute breathing space as a way of starting to become aware of stress and react to it in a more useful way.

I found the course really helpful, although the discipline to practise everyday did not come easily to me and I had a week's break in the middle. I was amazed at the decrease in my stress score at the end. Janet
