Jayne, Belfast I am now aware i can be different. 8 weeks ago i found it hard to sit still for 5 minutes, now i find i can do it and want to do it (and enjoy it!) for half an hour a day. Jane, Belfast This has been an awakening, watershed experience. The mindfulness exercises i learned helped me experience life more fully with a subsequent sense of harmony and wellbeing. Marie, Belfast I didn’t really understand how mindfulness could help me previously, I now understand that it helps me to stop and respond rather than react. Learning to breathe and use this as a coping strategy was very good. I really understand why a day out in silence is so beneficial. I really felt the benefits of the mindful eating and walking. I think there was accumulative effect. Helena, Bangor It’s changed my life! I’m more positive/real towards aspects of my life and have accepted myself. Make everyone do this – its amazing! Thank you B! Sarah, Belfast I found the course life changing. As a result I have avoided anti-depressants and am almost off sleeping tablets. I will be forever grateful. Thank you!! Tracey, Belfast I am now aware of the value of a daily meditation practice to manage stress and work with others in a useful and meaningful way. What was most meaningful was getting in touch with my own body, looking inwards rather than focus on the external. Capturing the little moments of insights. Anonymous, Belfast 10/10 the course helped me on many levels – helped lower stress, helped wake me up again to all of life’s marvels. To remember to look around me helped in both personal and work life. One day retreat was fantastic, would like to do this on a monthly basis. Bridgeen was a fantastic teacher, felt really comfortable working with her. Anonymous, Belfast This is a really worthwhile course that has a lot to offer. I used the programme for stress management and self care. Personally and professionally the programme has taught me to be more aware, grounded and in control of stressful situations. It armed me with knowledge and skills that have changed my life. Anonymous, Belfast I now have a commitment to myself to myself to have a mindfulness day once a month. I would never have felt i had the time before but now i realise its about priorities and i’m important. Being more present has made me more aware of hte positive things i have around me. Anonymous, Belfast What was most valuable in the programme was the experience of awaking to life – good, happy and painful. I found the practice brought harmony and wellbeing to my days. Anonymous, Belfast I will use all my newly learned techniques to help me with my family life, to improve and enhance our relationships. I will try and remember in my busy days to be kind to myself, to stop beating myself up so often. I will try and accept and just be! Anonymous, Belfast I want to continue the practice to help me take time out for myself and live in the here and now rather than in my head. Anonymous, Belfast A very worthwhile course, Bridgeen was very motivational in her leading of the group.
