It was an amazing course. Do not underestimate the value of any activity or lecture. By the end of the course mindfulness would become your way of living. That was my experience atleast. Mindfulness organically became my way of life without much effort and this course caused a paradigm shift in my perspective. I really want to thank ma'am, Rice University and Coursera for this amazing experience!

This course is an excellent follow-up to "Foundations of Mindfulness". I'd advise to take the foundations lecture first before trying this one and if you did so, you already know what to expect anyway. Both courses are a good foundation for your first steps into the concept of mindfulness, whether you choose to include it into your life or not.

Thanks a lot to Dr. Elizabeth Slator and Rice University for coming up with such a great course. This course is very much needed for the tumultous and unprecedented times that we are living through presently. This course helped me to quiet my anxious mind and let go of what I cannot control. I found the course quite practical with a variety of practice sessions built into it. The peer graded assignments at the end of every week adds to the rigour of the course. It's truly one of the best and most beneficial courses I did on Coursera and I highly recommend the course to everyone.

Excellent course, though i was practicing mindfulness, did not know all the benefits until I went through this course. Very well designed, concepts explained well, Dr Slater has taken a lot of effort to build this unique course to benefit all of us. The biggest learning for me is we know nothing, keenly observing the moment at hand gives us a perspective on how we can enjoy the moment and live life to the fullest

Wow! I can't express how wonderful it was to take this course. Dr. Slator has put together such a well articulated course with lots of resources such as, mindfulness activities, meditations, articles, and thought provoking videos. I am very happy this course was offered on Coursera and for all the knowledge and mindfulness I have gained.

I found this course to be well structured. Each week built upon the previous one, and there were some surprising insights (for me at least), for example with the wellbeing inventory. Even if you are experienced in the practice of Mindfulness, I am sure you will find something beneficial in this course. I certainly did.

This is a very good course particularly for those who think they know everything. who in spite of knowing every thing have stopped noticing their surroundings are more stressed due to work load or present Covid situation. I learnt a lot and now on wards will be learning more.

This is a fantastic week (week4) I have almost completed every assignment except I want to give a second reading to all reading materials.These meditation exercises, Body scan and photo walk ,Mountain meditation made me to go deep in to my mindfulness and involve my self fully in to every activity I am doing during my regular day to day life.Previously though I am doing some thing my mind used to wander ,now a days to a large extent I am there where I am now and enjoying every activity as I am doing it with calmness and mindfulness
Hope to get more benefit by second reading of notes and listening to the videos once again .
Thanks to The professot Elzabeth Slator for conducting the program ia focussed and wonderful way

At first I was somehow skeptical how much mindfulness course can be of help. But it really helped me to realize my own problems. Through each practice and meditation, I came to notice that I had developed a problematic ways of thinkingI in my course of life. It was a "Big Bang" to me. I'm so thankful to Prof. Elizabeth Slator and her team! Definitely a good course, I recommend it.

I find this course interesting, well-organized, and helpful. I enjoyed lectures, meditations, and discussions. There is some great additional material that I enjoyed and a questionnaire that reveals a lot. Even though I've been on a mindfulness course before, I learned new things about mindfulness and about myself and it helped me define areas that I have to work on.

Great course! I thoroughly loved it. I would recommend this to those who are already into Mindfulness and those who are beginners. Prof Slator is a great teacher and she has outlined the course with her insights, experience and expertise. There are also some guided mindfulness meditation audios and techniques that you can learn. Go ahead and enrol.
