Mindfulness practise has been in the consciousness of Eastern philosophy for over two and a half thousand years and is currently gaining increased popularity in more western cultures. Although its origins are associated with Buddhism, the practise of mindfulness is in no way a religious or philosophical undertaking.
Mindfulness is instead a practise and skill, an ability that we all possess and use to lesser or greater degrees and has been the subject of much western analysis since the late 1960's. As a personal practise it helps develop a deeper understanding of self, as well as providing the practitioner with a range of physical, mental and emotional benefits.
The Course
Divided into 5 sections. Section 1 introduces you to what Mindfulness is and how Mindfulness meditation is used to calm a busy mind. Then, sections 2, 3 and 4 contain the 21 day programme, 7 days per section, with each of the 21 days having a ‘Point of Focus’, a key learning objective to be achieved during the guided, morning and evening exercises. The final section, section 5, gives advice on the next steps as you look to continue your Mindfulness journey.
By the end of this course you will have completed over 760 minutes of seated mindfulness meditation, gone through 21 days of exercises, each with their own learning objectives. You will have improved your posture, developed more control over your breathing, learnt how to relax your body and calm your mind and hopefully started to recognise the benefits that mindfulness practise gives you, outside of this course.
Who this course is for:
- Those who want an experience of what regular mindfulness practise can do for you and want to develop habits that will benefit their state of wellbeing beyond this course
- The course is designed for those who have no previous experience, but is also a useful course for those that have fallen out of practise or are interested in boosting their current practise
- The course is designed for individuals; however this could also be used by a group sitting together for the audio exercises
- Suitable for anyone interested in understanding more about themselves
- This is not designed for long term, experienced practitioners, unless of course you feel drawn to the material in the course
- If you have any questions about the suitability of this course for you, then please feel free to email me at Jeremy@dtcw.co.uk

To date, I have accumulated a broad range of experience during my working life and now predominantly operate as an independent coach, trainer and consultant.
Before embarking on my first career and at the age of 18, I spent a year travelling and working in Southern Africa, Asia and the Far East. It was however during the subsequent five and a half years, serving as a Royal Marine Commando Officer, that I developed a keen interest in human potential and the psychological, physical and emotional factors that affect our performance. So upon completion of my commission, I decided to resume studies and re-train as a therapist and coach.
By 2001, four years after leaving the military, I had qualified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Counsellor, NLP Master Practitioner and Physical Training Instructor and after initially following a therapeutic framework, I quickly moved to a coaching model with clients. Today, 13 years on, I feel very privileged to have worked with some amazing individuals and remain enthused by my coaching work, humbled by the ever present learning curve that one experiences in this field.
In addition to my coaching and training work, I am however also very fortunate to have been able to develop much commercial experience, having been involved with new business ventures, as well as being engaged as a consultant in both the commercial, government and humanitarian sectors. This variety has seen me living and working abroad, including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Jordan, Italy and France, as well as the UK. Always keen to take on new challenges, I have been lucky enough to find projects and challenges that have really promoted positive change and often involved the support and development of people, businesses and ideas.
