Where many types of meditation ask you to maintain a strong focus on something or contemplate something, Vedic Meditation holds a looser focus and allows you to drift effortlessly between mantra, thought and thoughtlessness. Research shows that this type of transcending technique produces different types of brain activity to meditation practices like Vipasana, Zazen or Mindfulness Meditation.

One of the things many students love, is in Vedic Meditation you don’t have to ‘observe your thoughts’, ‘let go of your thoughts’ or ‘clear your mind’ (because that’s almost impossible right?). In learning the technique you will come to understand how thoughts can be a normal and valid part of your meditation practice. But don’t worry! If you want to learn to meditate for your busy mind, it will still help.

There are many reported and researched benefits of meditation, including:

• Improved sleep and increased energy

• Increased self awareness

• Reduced stress and anxiety

• Improved focus, attention and memory

• Increased mental performance and creativity

• Improved physical health and immune system

• Better resilience and adaptability

• Increased empathy, connection and compassion towards others

• Reduction in addictive behaviour/return to addictive behaviour post abstinence

• Pain management

• Improved relationships and ability to work with others

• Greater patience with your family at Christmas. ; )

While many of the benefits of meditation may be experienced soon after learning, scientific research shows that positive effects only increase with more lifetime hours of practice. The moral of the story? The best type of meditation is the one you stick with and do regularly.

Vedic Meditation is taught in-person over three consecutive days:

Day 1: One-on-one session (1 hour)

Day 2: Group session (2 - 2 1/2 hours)

Day 3: (Group session (2 - 2/12 hours)

After learning the technique on day one, you will practice the technique in between sessions. Each session you will then be introduced to deeper layers of information to help you turn the technique into a daily practice.

• When, where and how to practice

• How to fit the practice into your days (because we all know how tricky these things get with life, right?)

• What happens with your mind and body when you do the technique (we’ll talk a lot about stress and fatigue here and throw in a bit of neuroscience and meditation research)

• More about the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits

• Changes to your practice over time and how to maintain it

• Tactical uses for the practice (eg. Long haul flights, sickness, pregnancy)

• Guidance through some of your personal experiences with the technique as you begin to test it out with your L plates on.

• The three session Vedic Mediation course

• Lifetime ongoing support - you can reach out any time via email for support with your practice.

• The ability to re-sit the course free as many times as you like when group courses are running

• Please note, at this time I don’t offer regular group meditations. However if this becomes available in the future, you will be able to access them at not charge. Many teachers will allow you to attend their group meditations once you have learned at no cost.
