Yes i got a lot out of this course. I did know about mindfulness before but never had consolidated it into my daily life. An online course was perfect for me to do it very regularly at times that suited me.

Initially I was getting stressed that I wasn't finding the time to be mindul, but having completed the course I have understood how to incorporate it in to my everyday life and found it had a massive impact this week when I faced a particularly stressful situation. Usually I would have spiralled into an anxious mess, but the 3 minute breathing space brought me back and I was able to move on. This left me inspired as I believe I have finally found something that works.

I remained skeptical about this course, even when I was in the middle of it, and was unwilling to recommend it wholeheartedly until I 'd completed the four week session or I'd begun to feel any tangible benefit. Having completed the course, however, I now feel that I can definitely recommend these exercises to people who suffer from stress, anxiety, depression and some of the effects of bipolarity on a regular basis. It will work if you put the work in, and you will start to really enjoy the simple things in life, gain greater control over your emotions, and find yourself bouncing back quicker from disappointments and difficulties.

Be Mindful Online is an excellent programme. It is easy to follow and puts the individual at the heart of the process. Mindfulness gives you permission to discover and to take time and care of yourself in an increasingly demanding world. Maureen

A very useful, practical course that gives an excellent route into developing the skills of mindfulness that appear so simple but in reality are the hardest skills to incorporate into one's everyday life. I have found this course so helpful and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone - in fact - I already have! Thank you!

some really good tips and resources to use, however its all about practising, the more you put in the more you will get out of it. mindfulness can definitely help to calm down and become aware and ease stresses.

This has been a very valuable experience for me, helping raise my awareness about how I deal with stress (often negatively) and how I can approach things more positively. Concentrating on breathing, mindful experience, focusing on nurturing and depleting approaches to stress- all very helpful.

The course is a must for everyone, I have learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and am looking forward to practising it in my day to day life. I have downloaded the exercises on to my Iphone and Ipad so will always have them with me, for commuting, quiet time in the office or when I go away. Just the phrase 'thoughts aren't facts' helped me! as the amount of time I used to waste on thoughts was ridiculous. Feel calmer and more relaxed just in 5 weeks and my stress score was reduced to 11. Also bought the book 'Journey into Mindfulness' which I'd recommend. Thank you! best thing I have done.

I found the course clear and well presented. The support was the most valuable aspect for me, I felt like I had a friend to practice mindfulness with so when I was tired or not very motivated I could use the meditation commentaries that I had downloaded. The best use of my computer so far! I was genuinely surprised that some stressful situations at work didn't provoke the anger that they usually do and I could deal with things more calmly.

I was very sceptical about how much this course would do for me, but I have really enjoyed the course and the benefits along the way. I was delighted with my score at the end having reduced my stress levels by half, and the benefits it will provide for the future. I look on things completely differently. I also discovered a trait about myself which I have now followed up and discovered even more about myself. It has been worth every pound spent.

I found this course just when I felt I would not be able to go on with my life after losing the person who was closest to me. I was desperately looking for answers and for a way out of my depression. I cannot say the course has healed me but I took my time to complete it in 8 weeks and the least it has done for me has been to help me hold on to life by taking one day at a time, not feeling pressured to make decisions or to take action but just be. It has given me valuable tools I can rely on to get me through a day, a week, a month and hopefully the rest of my life.

I had previously tried attending a face-to-face mindfulness course but felt very self-conscious and as a consequence struggled to be mindful! This online course has helped me to practice mindfulness in an environment which feels much more natural, and at a time and place which is convenient for me. Now that I have a greater understanding of what mindfulness is all about, and what benefits it can bring, I'm more inclined to go back to the face-to-face group and not feel as self-conscious about it!

I started this course because I constantly had feelings of anxiety. I felt tired and disliked how these feelings were affecting my life. This course has been fantastic! I fully intend to use the skills and techniques I have learned to actually change my life for the better.

Wow, a score or 14/40 four weeks ago has reduced to 5/40 at the end of the course. Clearly the course has been very beneficial. This has given me real hope that my longstanding problems can be resolved. Thank you.

Interesting and enjoyable course and not time consuming. Suitable for anyone. The very least anyone must take away is an awareness of how much of our lives we live on auto pilot. And that alone is a wake up call.

I have found the course very helpful. It taught me ways which have improved the quality of my life. And I know, that if I maintain the practises taught in this 4 week course then thsse improvements will continue. The four weeks of the course has given me the tools and I am grateful for that. If you often feel a bit uptight, worrying needlessly, too tense I recommend tjhis course to you.

I very much enjoyed the online mindfuness course with what felt like the support of two new friends along the way. I will most certainly be in need of and using the tools I have learned in the coming weeks as I now have a diagnosis of breast cancer and upcoming surgery to cope with. Already I feel that the practices have helped me a lot to undergo the tests and attend the results/planning appointments. In spite of all this, I was amazed to see that my score on the stress test has improved! Thank you Ed, Tess and the technical support team.

Beginning this course is akin to starting an long trek into unknown wilderness. You have only the vaguest of ideas what to expect and rely totally on your guide. But - by the end of the course you have discovered things, witnessed things, changed many things - your journey becomes less goal orientated and more about spending time with the wonders you encounter. You develop skills and slowly become part of the world you once sought only to skim through as an observer. This course is transformative and the most wonderful thing about it, is that it does not change us - we change ourselves.

This course has helped me immeasurably, I'm sorry it's come to an end. I have incorporated the key principles in my life, from the sitting meditation to the breathing space. It has enabled me to move toward finding an inner calm, to controlling negative thoughts and providing some relief from anxiety. I will definitely continue to incorporate mindfulness into my life as a whole.

I have found the 'Be Mindful Online' course very interesting and rewarding. I feel that it is the start of a new chapter in my life. I am now not so irritable, unsociable and pessimistic as I used to be. I now view the future in a much more positive light, one in which I have much more freedom, control and happiness. I will definitely continue the practice of mindfulness in my life.

A very well structured course which guides you through the basics. Regular e-mails helped me to keep my motivation up and to practice more regularly. In a few weeks this course has enabled me to become more grateful for the little things in my life.
