"Vidyamala’s course is easily one of the most profoundly helpful learning experiences I’ve ever had. The pain I have experienced on a long term, daily basis has not changed; however my relationship with and my thoughts, feelings and actions regarding that pain have changed. 

I welcomed taking this course shortly before a surgery in September. I listened to and practiced lessons several times in preparation and felt confident. 

The moment the nerve block wore off in the hospital and pain was extreme, I remembered what I had learned. Words and phrases from Vidyamala’s lessons flowed into me, and I knew I could manage, “moment by moment,” by “leaning into the pain,” “resting back,” and most helpful by being gentle and focusing on my “kindly breath.”

While my first “test” of the course content was post surgery, learners will find that they can successfully apply lessons learned to their daily lives. I’ll be having surgery again in a couple of weeks, and I’ve just completed listening to all 10 lessons again, but I’ve implemented course content into daily life. 

Vidyamala well knows her subject matter and exudes compassion. I highly recommend her course". 

After you purchase this course, it will be available for you on our elearning platform https://elearning.breathworks-mindfulness.org.uk/
