How it's helped me
Space
Here are some testimonials from people who have been practicing Modern Meditation for a while. Please take a few minutes to read through them and see how Modern Meditation has helped a whole variety of people.

It’s one of the first things we filmed so the quality isn’t great, but these are real people who have used Modern Meditation to make real changes in their lives.

'Having got in contact with Adrian for a little help, I have been amazed as to how my outlook on life has changed. I now feel a lot more in control of my life by just being able to allow life to happen. My outlook is a lot more positive as whatever happens I know its ok. I don’t feel I have to try as hard and yet life is more productive, pleasurable and rewarding. I feel for me that I’m beginning to feel life more and I can safely say for myself alone that this is probably the most enriching and magical experience that has been installed within me by Adrian and Martine at Modern Meditation. I feel at a little loss trying to put into words or convey the message as to what I have learnt and experienced with the team at Modern Meditation but would urge anyone with a longing to be “happier” to get into contact with them NOW!
May I thank you again, and wish you all peace and happiness.'

‘They say opposites attract and whilst my best friend became a lay preacher, my behaviour just got wilder. I couldn’t follow his path to ‘God’.
But one of the many things he said came true - ‘get yourself right and the rest falls into place’.
Modern Meditation gave me the tools, the approach, the outlook to do that. I still don’t share his ‘God’, but we do both live in the same intensely peaceful way.’
Steve Berry
Accountant

‘The Modern Meditation practice has helped me in so many ways. Mostly, it’s helped me to clear all the noise in my mind and see things clearly! I’m making better choices, which have brought truth to my work and my marriage.’
Kat Millar
Actress

‘Ayesha had a little girl, Matilda today. The thanks and gratitude we owe you two is far beyond anything words can describe. Thank you for me helping see real life and the pleasures you receive just living it.’
Billy Smart
Awning Fitter

‘I have been an addict for the past 15 years and have tried all sorts of things to break my habits (drink and cocaine). I met Adrian and the methods shown to me at Modern Meditation have changed my whole life, in that I now choose not to take drugs rather than struggle not to and believe me, there is a big difference.
I can now feel the underlying peace that surrounds us all even if my life situation is not exactly how I want it.’
Danny Millar
City Trader

‘I remember the really beautiful atmosphere you all created at the Modern Meditation office so well, the most safe, secure and relaxed I had ever felt. Oh and that feeling I now manage to create for myself when I stop thinking/talking and relax and be still. The gifts you gave me are never ending and not reliant upon anything except me and how I choose to live. So thank you and much love to all of you.’
Julie Coltman
Support Worker

‘With the help of Modern Meditation I am finally living the life I always dreamed of and achieved it by waking up to the truth. After a long and tiring ten years of trying, I have found more peace and happiness than I could have imagined. Thank you.’
Rob Groves
City Trader

‘Happily married, two bright, healthy kids, a supportive family and a successful career that gave us all we needed and more. Two houses, three cars, frequent 5-star holidays, and no debts. I was a prize-winning graduate; good at everything I did, representing my country in sport, and having published nine books.
Yes, some people were jealous but the only person who really hated me, was me. So I slowly began a near-suicidal path, via alcohol, to drugs and an addiction to dangerous sex. Seven years were lost, along with the family and the material comforts. I tried counselling, hypnotism, NLP and all shades of therapy, diets, exercise, and AA meetings but the conclusion was always the same - I’d be dead pretty soon. Everyone was good at diagnosis; no-one had a cure. I didn’t care if I lived or died.
Modern Meditation had an immediate impact. I felt glimmers of peace. Moments at first, then minutes, eventually hours and now days.
I faced the fact that aged four and helpless I had watched my brother die; at ten I’d been raped. For the first time, I recognised neither event was my fault and that the self-hatred was simply inappropriate.
Now, I want to live every moment I have left and I do. Modern Meditation made me free from all the noise, the pain in my mind that leaked into my soul and dragged me down.
In the last couple of years, it’s all come back to me, without effort. The relationships, just work now. There’s no poison in my veins, because there’s none in my mind, because there’s none in my soul.
So, start right now - reclaim yourself.’

‘After coming to my lowest point in my life not knowing where to turn, with drink and drugs making me the unhappiest I had ever been. I came across Adrian and Modern Meditation. The 6 weeks that I spent with Adrian has quite literally changed my life, I have never felt this happy since I was 18, I'm relaxed, alert, have a new job and a new girlfriend! (although that wasn't down to Adrian just the way that I feel about myself). I didn't think anything could or would change me, but this has. Give it a try I promise it will be the best thing that you ever do.’

‘When I first found Modern Meditation, I was a UK size 24 (US 22), weighing in at over 18 stone (260lbs), a compulsive, secretive overeater, a heavy smoker, drinker and drug user.
For as long as I can remember, my head fed me tales of how I wasn't good enough, how I would never really fit in and how all my friends, although they were nice to my face, were laughing at me behind my back. It told me I was ugly, fat and grotesque and that I was a constant disappointment and didn't deserve to be loved. It told me to eat the cake, take the pill, do the line, drink the bottle of whisky and then once I'd done it, I was told I was disgusting, greedy and pathetic for not resisting the temptation, by the very same voice that put the temptation in my way!!!! I never questioned it, I just did as I was told and took on board all the insults and believed I was what it said I was and then spent my time trying to escape the pain my thoughts were causing,.
Anyway, after over 30 years of listening to my head telling me I was a disgrace, not worthy and never, ever, good enough, it was such a blessed relief to find out that I didn't have to listen to that voice anymore, or react to it and that actually most of the things it told me, were lies. Adrian showed me how to turn my head off without using food, drugs, drink or any other addictive behaviours, it was wonderful. But more importantly he let me know that I could love, trust and believe in myself after all, despite what my head said. He taught me that NOW is all we have and that it was about time I started making the most of it, I could let go of my past, I didn't need it anymore and that I didn't need to worry about the future either, because the future doesn't exist (apart from in our heads). He helped me to see that happiness doesn't come from things or circumstances, it comes from inside of us and that I didn't need a reason to feel it either, I could just be happy for no reason and I didn't have to suffer any guilt because of it. I've been living in the NOW and practicing Modern Meditation for over three years now, I'm 75lbs lighter in weight and losing more every day, I don't drink, don't take drugs and I've given up smoking, I feel absolutely amazing, so content, so happy and just so alive. So glad to be alive!’

‘Everything in life is great now, happiness and inner belief has arrived. A few months ago I had no belief in myself and the world around me, the end was near. I have had many stumbling blocks which I believed at the time were a problem. These blocks were aides to my learning and progress towards being in the “now”.
Modern Meditation has helped me achieve fulfilment and to appreciate the “now” and my life is as great as it has ever been.’

For 3 years, I had tried unsuccessfully to kick my £3000 a month cocaine habit, first trying will-power, then 5 weeks in the Priory followed by 18 months in-and-out of A.A. / C.A meetings - nothing seemed to help me, and I would regularly re-lapse after 2-3 weeks of not using. Even the clean time I did get was a struggle...
Each relapse was worse than one before…more guilt, more pain, more remorse the next day, just the same old story again and again.
The pain and misery of the last 2 years of my cocaine use left me penniless, physically ill and mentally unstable.
A bright boy from a good home, with a good job in the City had slowly but surely become someone who couldn't be trusted, who lied continuously, who was becoming increasingly angry and violent and who had no real interest in life outside of the next ‘session'.
The solitary nature of my using (holed up in my flat with the curtains shut, completely scared and paranoid) was particularly frightening - this wasn't why I started taking coke! Didn't it used to make me confident and outgoing? What happened to me? Where's the fun now....?
I met Adrian and discovered the Modern Meditation practice and gave it a go, more in desperation than in hope, but soon saw some real changes.
For the first time in years I had some relief from my ‘washing-machine' head, some space, some peace.
Adrian taught me how to deal with the cravings, my feelings and thoughts by using some very simple techniques. By learning how to stop thinking, I suddenly was able to manage my once seemingly crazy head, and take back control of my life.
Most importantly, I actually felt happy for the first time in years....
I have worked hard at my recovery and my meditation practice, but the rewards I have received back are immeasurable. 12 months on and I am not only still clean and happy, but I have also lost 4 stone in weight (taking me down to a healthy size!!) and have gained my life back.
