THE POWER OF KINDFULNESS
Mindfulness + Kindness = Kindfulness
This is the formula backed by science*Â for a balanced brain, happy mind and meaningful relationships.
When your mind wanders excessively, you think mainly about the past or future. And usually about all the things that went wrong or could go wrong.Â
As one study stated, a wandering mind is an unhappy mind**.
“About 47% of waking hours spent thinking about what isn’t going on“
Mindfulness practices reshape your brain’s neural pathways for attention and focus in the present moment. Mindfulness also gives you feedback – so you are much clearer about what you’re thinking, feeling and doing.
But that’s just the first step.Â
Without the right attitude, mindfulness can just end up highlighting negative thoughts and emotions without the key tool to soothe and heal your body and mind.Â
Therefore, the second step, cultivating kindness and discovering how to make friends with your mind is so important.
By training your brain towards kindness, compassion and self-compassion, true transformation can take place. Â
The value of combining mindfulness with kindness and compassion is not just based by western science. The essence of kindfulness is  from ancient eastern teachings. These teachings never taught mindfulness alone – they always included huge amounts of kindness and compassion practices too.
Through this program you also discover something you may have never learnt in other mindfulness or compassion classes: the value and method for being extremely kind to your own body and mind.Â
You’ll discover that sitting or lying down very comfortably is an act of kindness to yourself. And the key to effective kindfulness.Â
You’ll also discover why you need to stop trying to control your mind and instead kindly listen and let go. This can lead to deep experiences of peace, relaxation and joy.Â
So, if you like the sound of this program, and want to go from being a control freak to a kindfulness freak, have a go at this fun, unique and transformative program!Â
*hundreds of research studies show both mindfulness and compassion have beneficial effects on body, mind and relationships.

Really enjoyed this course, in fact so much that I did it twice.I truly believe in the mindfulness concept and adding the kindfulness approach made it so much easier. Loved the fact that I can go back and make the practices habits and they are there when I need them. learned so many skills and practises as well as many new meditations. Truly would like to teach mindfulness some day, with of course a little more practice and education. I am a health care provider and truly believe that we spend alot of time mending the body without the right mind tools like mindfulness and kindfulness. Thanks for making and sharing this course this course as this is truly great work. so glad you found this to be your true purpose and may I some day as well. With Gratitude Shelly

I started this course because I have chronic pain, I knew that mindfulness would help but the idea of kindfulness really appealed to me. If I could learn to be kind to myself and my body that put me in pain - could I it help? Well YES is the answer! I'm only half way through the course but would recommend it to anyone with pain (or without!). I find the letting it go meditation in week 3 particularly good for pain. Shamash is a great teacher, I love his kind voice, wisdom and energy. The videos are high quality and you can tell they were made with love and care for the user in mind 🙂 I can't recommend it enough - give it a try!

Audio is very clear as I feel I am an auditory person. Helps my concentration. The camera roll is very clear too. Duration of all sessions till now is spot on. Belly breathing is a great relaxing tool for me. Shamash has a very soft and soothing voice. He breaks it down and simplifies the subject. Great examples and relationships. Amazing visualization. Love his story too. When he talks about the past and the future bags and putting them down has been a great experience for me of myself.

I was having difficulties trying to meditate by myself, so it was a bless to find the Awake Academy. The Kindfulness Course not only gave me a push towards serenity and clarity of mind, but also made me understand that peace of mind is a consequence of kindness. I used to meditate to stay serene and focused, but now I meditate also to be a kind person. Mindfulness is not only about being present and accepting yourself, it has a lot to do with caring for others. That´s what Shamash Alidina taught me and that´s how he is changing my behaviour. Shamash is assertive and very clear about all concepts. The changing of sceneries and the editing elements of the videos make the classes very enjoyable. Not to talk about the performance of the teacher when acting is necessary. It´s hilarious. The cherry on top is the chance to go back to past lessons whenever necessary. I highly recommend the course.

This course has been a great journey and a very helpful ammunition to face the daily routines that sometimes lure us away from appreciating the universe around us, here and now. It took me some time, since enrolling, before finding the space and the time to start the course. Now I am organizing my time around it, instead of the contrary. Thank you for the indication. I fully recommend it to anyone looking for meaningful ways of navigating through the bumps of life.

This course has been recommended to me by a friend, i didn't know much about it and what to expect when i started. I am so glad i signed up... It is helping me a lot to deal with a heavy emotional context and also stress at work. It is great to stop and take some time to breath and to learn how to be more gentle to yourself & others. I like the fact that it is easy and flexible: you decide when you want to practice; there is no constraints. Well done and Thanks Awake Academy!
Excellent course and suitable for everyone. The meditations are lovely and would recommend the loving kindness one, it’s amazing. I really liked the course is split into smaller modules to give you the information in short concise way - allowing me to stay mindful and not drift off!
