Testimonials

“I now have an understanding and appreciation of meditation, and how I can use it in future to help make clearer and better decisions and relieve external pressures. In this respect week 5 was particularly effective – when I ‘went under’ during the group meditation it was probably the first time that has ever happened to me, and I felt amazing afterwards. I am blessed to be a person who is not deeply troubled by the sort of things that many people are, but as a result of the course I feel I now have a far better appreciation of the way some people are tortured by life’s issues, which I know will help me deal with people in the future with more empathy and understanding.”

“Understanding that we chose to think and believe what becomes our personalities! And that by mindfully being aware and doing the work we can change our mindsets. This course has brought about such an impactful change as it has aided me in changing my mindset that I have witnessed a wider influence and that’s what’s made this the most significant change in my life.”

“How amazing to be able to learn about the brain more! I’m excited to gain more knowledge and experience less anxiety”

“I found it extremely helpful can’t thank you enough for including me”

“In the past when I’ve practiced meditation in a group, it’s been made to seem like something of spiritual enlightenment but Safia’s honesty and scientific backing allows meditation to become a manageable practice”

“I genuinely have no suggestions for improvement. It was the perfect combination of everything for me. Walked away from the workshop feeing totally blown away by all the information and how I could incorporate it into my life”

“I am a very closed book and felt a bit happier to open up. The meditation highlighted how susceptible I am to it all and how useful I found it. Your approachability yet scientific and factual explanation is something I can relate to very easily. Very powerful moving course, absolutely 10/10, thank you”
