The meditation practice is very freeing. I can just be where I am in the moment. In contrast to so many practices I’ve tried, it encompasses how to deal with emotions with a greater awareness of the human condition.

Mindworks has made a big difference in my life!

I have known for many years that the persona I present is not truly aligned with the real me, which I sense but do not really know. I believe that this journey will help me to discover and embrace the real me, and give me the confidence to express it.

My morning ‘hits’ of 10 minutes of meditation practice, along with the short talks, have made it easier for me to manage during this crazy time! I’m hooked!
