I was at a crossroads in my life, career-wise and in my personal life. I was feeling depressed, self-conscious, unhappy and unsure of where I wanted my future to lead me. Over these months, I am happy inside again and love myself. I feel alive and able to follow my heart and make the right decisions in my life.
This course and Parmjit (the facilitator) have helped me to find myself, my ‘inner peace’, to trust myself and know myself and most importantly, to love myself. I really enjoy listening to Parmjit speak. He has a way of speaking and that is calm, peaceful, truthful and insightful. He helped us to talk of our thoughts and issues and heard his insights and thoughts. Of course, the yoga and meditation were essential.

This course helped me to slow down my consciousness, almost to stillness, so that I now have a much clearer idea of the issues in my life, where I have come from, in which directions I might now be able to go. From calmness, I can now deal with my “big issues”, my sadness and problems. Discussion of personal issues was a boon. All activities were helpful. —Stu Shepherd, Hamilton
I am little clearer on what I would like to do. I trust my feelings and intuitions and I am trying to discriminate between distractions and genuine feelings. The course has helped me see clearer at work, home, with others and by myself. I have tools to help me live in the world so the world does not live in me. I do daily mindful exercises and I find they all work. —Delano Duchek, Hamilton
I am much calmer. Everyday life challenges all of us with stresses but when we perceive those as being outside of ourselves, we can remain calm and centered—and therefore face the challenges with non-judgmental approach. Meditation exercises that centered our focus on heart chakra helped me most. —A Participant(who requested annonymity)

Harnessing Mindfulness Good Morning Parmjit I apologize for taking so long in contacting you. I wanted to let you know that the evaluations sheets we handed out after you did the session for our Divisional Day (way back in October) were all excellent. Every single staff person who attended your session was very pleased with it. They all found it very relaxing and said that they would enjoy a further session and recommend you to other departments who were having a department day similar to the one you presented your session at.
Also, I should mention that you may in the very near future hear from one of my co-workers asking you to do a session for our individual team. She is working on the logistics with our manager to see what we can do about having you come to one of our meetings.
Once again, I want to thank you for the wonderful session you did for us and wish you the best in 2009.
