what others have to say…

This Course teaches me that my thoughts need to be watched; I have a choice not to buy into my thoughts; and I have the ability to create my own reality.
Chew Mee Yin, Instructional Designer

The course is excellent for meditation/mindfulness novice like me. The lessons transcend meditation/mindfulness and they are useful to live a happy and balanced life.
Michael C.K. Sow, Company Director

Makes me see things in a more gentle way, wanting to find more food for my soul.
Joseph L, Sole Prioprieter

It has awaken me and empowers me in the space of truth as I progress in my spiritual journey. The course also helped me understand how I could apply it in my daily life whether at home, work, relationship or with people around me.
Annie Foo Yup Hong

It opens up my heart & mind to reality.
Wong Check Lee

I realise that when I start to slow down my pace and practice a heart of appreciation, the world around me is actually not so bad. It helps that Lai Fun always leads the discussion back to basic theories and Tuck Loon relates the theories to our daily lives.
Yong Yen Yee

The course has further allowed me to know more about myself. The realizations are quicker of my own fears, abilities, actions, reactions & response to myself and my surroundings. TQ, TQ, TQ.
Geraldine, Tai Tai

The course was beyond what I expected. Each day I'm learning more about myself through being mindful and meditation.
Alex Wong, Creative Group Head

Overall the course is good, but I have difficulty practising on a day-to-day basis. But attending the course has made a difference in my life and I hope that the improvements will continue in my journey.
Jer Lin, Teacher

I am more aware/mindful of my thoughts. It helps me a lot on my depression issue. Thanks a lot!
Eunice Phang Siew Mei, Lecturer

Tuck Loon really helped stimulate the mind into discovering itself and provided information that was very liberating. Lai Fun's soft approach and grounded examples helped me ground the information into simple ways that I could grasp and feel inspired by.
Stephanie Van Driesen, Lightbearer

By attending this course, I've learnt how to handle difficult, stressful situations; to be patient in daily activities – driving, waiting in a queue; being mindful on how I spend my time.
Catherine Chong

 
In considering the myriad aspects of TRUTH, I have found that current conventional methods of teaching and understanding are constrained by societal and cultural norms. My participation in Mindfulness- A Starting Point has helped me to understand the limitations of my perceptions and (in being non denominational) it has  helped me to develop new skills which have aided me in better surrendering during my own daily spiritual practice.
Azzaad

Bagi saya, setelah menjalani latihan MASP ini, ada beberapa perkara yang telah berjaya saya perbaiki dan perhalusi. Salah satu contohnya:- Bayangkan anda sedang memandu kereta di dalam kesesakan lalu lintas seperti yang anda akan hadapi sekiranya anda bekerja di Kuala Lumpur. Bayangkan perasaan anda apabila terperangkap dalam kesesakan lalulintas, sedangkan anda perlu sampai ke destinasi dalam tempoh masa yang tertentu. Apakah anda akan terus tenang dalam keadan itu? There is a starting point, to begin something.
Norazdi  

Thank you for everything. I have yet to love a part of me but my journey has begun & I have accomplished more that what I thought (in fact I came with an open mind & did not expect anything) 
A past participant

Wonderful & simply worth every minute of my time "rushing" over here -- learnt so much!
A past participant

The instructors are really professional and they really know their stuff. I think this programme is something extraordinary as it challenges the way we think and feel.
A past participant

I simply love it. Thank you for showing me who I really am.
A past participant

I will recommend this course to my friends. Those who have not joined, they don't know what they are missing out 
A past participant

Made me a better person by appreciating my uniqueness as well as my shortcomings. Learnt to appreciate the present and let go on non-present wants & needs. Of course, with all the love & kindness both of you had shown us: "You enroll us. We enroll the rest."
A past participant

I thought this course only gives me knowledge but I got more than that
A past participant

Excellent breakthrough. The course is free from religious connotations.
A past participant

Like the flame of a candle -- I grew brighter!
A past participant

Excellent. People of different faiths and belief can join in. It heals.
