“I had for a number of years been experiencing severe clinical depression on and off but I thought that overall I was managing OK and I was surviving. Then a huge life crisis hit... “I've failed, I'm useless, I've let people down, I wish I could just disappear.”
I had never tried meditation before, yet the impact of mindfulness has been phenomenal. I am no longer just clinging on. I wouldn't have believed that I could feel this good, this well and yes, this happy. Everything has become so much easier. Friends have commented on how I look younger, more relaxed, have a 'glow' about me.”
