5 Reasons to Meditate
-
You don't have to live with chronic anxiety, stress or depression. Meditation really helps undo those patterns.
-
Human lives and human minds are precious. Meditation gives you the time to admire them each day.
-
Life is short and uncertain. What better time than now to do something fine with your beautiful mind?
-
What you do with your mind matters. It shapes everything else. Meditation makes you an artist of the mind.
-
Try not to put energy into things that harm you. Instead, pour it into things that make you flourish. Meditators are better at this.
"I can't meditate. My mind's too jumpy."
Everyone's mind is too jumpy!
We live in a world that breeds jumpiness. Which is precisely why I think you'd benefit from Mindsprings meditations.
We start from the assumptions that all our minds are crazy, jackin-the-box madhouses and go from there.
But don't just take my word for it...
What Mindsprings folk report:
All the understanding and encouragement Alistair provided in the course itself - and in his email responses; It has all helped me so much. I truly feel that I am able to deal with my anxiety - rather than allow my anxiety to control my life."
Jay
I wasn't sure what to expect and was really surprised at how profound some of the techniques Alistair teaches in the course can be.
Jane
I really loved doing this course! Alistair has given me practical information and exercises to deal with my anxiety. Even after finishing it I often come back to the videos to support my daily exercises. Alistairs guidance was inspirational.
Maria
I found Tapping into Freedom an incredibly uplifting experience. As someone who suffers from anxiety I feel lighter and buzzing with excitement. I have been introduced to a wealth of tools to create lasting positive changes, all of which are within my own control.

My login doesn't work anymore. Can you help?This new site needs a one-time signup. If you have a email/password combo from the Mindsprings School (Beingfulness, Anxiety courses etc.) then I suggest using the same one. But you will need to sign up one time only to access the site (use those same details if you like) and then you'll be able to access everything with that login the next time you visit!
-
Where have my online courses gone?All the online self-study courses are still on the Mindsprings School. You can access this under Courses > Self Study on the navigation bar. I'm trying to find a way to synchronise the school with the new site - but everything is safe and sound there for your perusal.
-
When are the live online classes starting again?I'm starting to teach online three times a week from the 20th October 2022. You can find out more and book your classes here.
Any other questions?
We'll try and get back to you within 24 hours!
