How To Be Hit By An Arrow

This week I discovered that according to the Statistic Brain Research Institute, the average attention span of web users in 2015 is just 8.25 seconds. The average attention span of a goldfish is 9 seconds. This is something I find alarming considering that we are the most evolved and technologically advanced species on earth. How […]

I have just finished the 6 week course with Mike and found it very inspiring – Mike explained mindfulness in a very simple manner and i must say I was sorry to see it end – I would recommend this course to every one! Thanks. Dominic

My everyday life, like many others, is hectic. Juggling everything has meant paying a toll – migraines and chronic pain in my shoulders. I didn’t go to ‘My Free Mind’ for this reason, I went to give someone a lift and rather than wait for an hour and a half in the freezing cold to […]
