"Here's a formula you should commit to memory to make joy and relaxation a natural part of your practice. Recite it every time you sit, especially when you catch yourself thinking that meditation is difficult."
- Culadasa, The Mind Illuminated

“One thing that’s changed my life more than any other is the practice of self-empathy. Simply hearing the term for the first time was a revelation for me, since I immediately recognized that I wasn’t in fact empathetic toward myself. It had never even occurred to me to have empathy for myself. And this was despite the fact that I’d been, at that point, practicing lovingkindness meditation for more than two decades.” https://www.wildmind.org/…/four-steps-t o-self-empathy-and-s…

Congratulations to this new group of Breathworks teachers trained in Brazil recently!

What does mindfulness practice look like? Well it can really look like almost anything, but here are 13 solid examples to inspire you. https://www.heysigmund.com/different-ways -to-practice-mind…/

We have seen first-hand how much this course helps people with pain live the life they want to live. Thank you from all the women and men with pelvic pain who have found relief via your books and courses.

Truly inspirational & life changing. I was referred by pain clinic due to FM/ME.

Recently completed the 'Mindful Movement' course at the beautiful Buddhist Centre, Manchester. I was quite anxious about attending, as the thought of movement, whilst living with a chronic pain and fatigue condition, filled me with dread. However, I arrived to a very welcoming, warm, understanding and pleasant environment. The tutor was very good and provided a consistently paced program. Looking forward to my TTa course in September!

Me encanta Vidyamala. Leer su libro te inyecta inspiración y fuerza para sobrellevar cualquier tipo de discapacidad. El programa de mindfulness para la salud es sencillo y te deja herramientas útiles para que puedas seguir en casa con la práctica de la meditación. Gracias.

It's pretty good :) The trainers are great. The course material is life changing. I think everyone should try it, at least twice .

In one evening I was able to make a good connection with myself and learn some personal skills. Def recommended.

I'm really inspired to learn more about the Breathworks approach to Mindfulness after attending a taster session led by Keith Harvey in Manchester on the 5th May. It was really interesting and the small group practice was so calming and grounding. I definitely want to do more. Many thanks.

I really enjoyed the Refresher session with David at the Buddhist Centre on 28th October, which really covered everything- mindfulness practice, an interactive look at theory etc.

I felt I got a lot out of it.

I really enjoyed the Mindful Movement weekend I attended in March at the Manchester Buddhist Centre. Gained a really great insight as to how I would facilitate this to others. Thanks MJ for for teaching and sharing your experience with us.

I have just completed my TTi Training Retreat. Thank you to Vadiyalma, all my trainers and new friends at Breathworks for such amazing learnings and life changing practices on so many levels.

Great 3 day experience with Karen & Ginny on the Intro to Mindfulness in Healthcare course. Thought provoking, clinically relevant to my practice and just a lovely safe environment to learn in! Thank you

Despite many years of practice in meditation, I found myself struggling with chronic pain and anxiety following a steep decline into CFS/ME. The practices offered by Breathworks were (and are) effective for me. I particularly liked the one minute space. I keep a led body scan on my phone just in case.

A most wonderful course that has tough me so many life skills which I use daily. On the train, washing my hands any moment I can to be present I enjoy. Thank you for passing on this understanding of being in the now :-)
