I've been teaching the MBSR programme and other mindfulness-based programmes for almost 20 years. I used the Mindful Brian app for a programme that was designed specifically for a workplace setting. It was often quite complicated until I discovered the Mindful Brian app, and that really, really, really changed things, especially having everything to hand.
When I first saw the app, I was a little apprehensive about my ability to get into a new system I didn't know. And the moment I could see my materials in the app, I thought: wow, there's this sort of magic moment where, look, it's all there.
The app is extremely easy to use, because you can put, you can upload all the audio recordings to it. So it's extremely accessible for people.
With the app, since there's a community space, people can contact me, and did contact me to ask questions. It also let me, between sessions, send a short message of support now and then, or a short quote.
And you can even change things yourself at any time: your materials, the audio, upload them whenever you like, change them. Add pictures and photos too. You can make things look really beautiful, in fact.
And you can also see how the different materials are used, or how much people listen to them. Which also gives us a kind of feedback on how engaged participants are.
If a colleague asked me, “I'm thinking of using Mindful Brian, would you recommend it?” I'd say without hesitation: yes, go for it.
I'd also like to stress that Stephan, who developed this app, is extremely present and available whenever you need him.
Truly, I encourage instructors to use this app, which is a real, real plus, for the teacher as much as for the participants.
