What is Vedic Meditation?
Vedic Meditation is a simple and easy transcending technique, practised twice a day for twenty minutes. We meditate sitting comfortably with the eyes closed, using a personal mantra that effortlessly, spontaneously, causes the mind and body to relax.
In Vedic meditation we do not concentrate or try to control our thoughts. This is an effortless, letting go technique where thoughts are welcome. And so anyone can learn, even those with busy minds and with busy lives.
Vedic meditation is taught in person, over 4 consecutive days.
Meditation shouldn’t be another thing on your to do list… Learn a practise that you will fall in love with.
What to expect during the 4 sessions—
Session One (60 minutes)
Your first session will be a private 1:1 session. During which you will receive your personal mantra and learn the easy, effortless practise of Vedic meditation.
We then refine your practice in the following 3 sessions:
Session Two (2 hours)
On day two we will explore the mechanics of the technique, the practicalities of meditation, discuss how to create a consistent daily practice, explore what different meditation experiences mean, and more.
Session Three (2 hours)
We discuss the deeper ‘why’ of meditation, explore the mind-body connection, and talk about the science of stress; stress being an umbrella term for all undigested, unprocessed life experiences.
Session Four (2 hours)
The final day is all about integration. We will talk about some of the long term benefits of Vedic meditation, detailing what life can look like with consistent daily practise. We will also share some additional ‘eyes open’ practices for managing stress and the challenges of daily life.
We meditate together in every session and mindfully cultivate an open and supportive environment where all questions and experiences are welcomed.
We acknowledge the traditional custodians on whose lands we work, live and learn. We pay our deepest respects to Indigenous elders past and present, and recognise that they have never ceded sovereignty. We also express deep gratitude to our Shankaracharya lineage, the source from which this Vedic wisdom flows. To those who have been caretakers of this knowledge and tradition we say ‘Jai Guru Deva’.
