THE TECHNIQUE

Vedic Meditation is an easy and natural mantra based technique, that creates a completely different brain functioning to any other type of meditation, hypnotic or drug induced state. Each new meditator receives a personalised mantra, with correct instruction the mantra charms our mind to spontaneously transcend beyond conscious thought, beyond emotions, beyond sensation, beyond the intellect to a place of quietness where we access what Vedanta calls ‘Turiya’ ‘the 4th’, conscious state. Where we experience feelings of supreme inner contentedness.

As the mind transcends the body is triggered to rest 2-3 times deeper than sleep. In this deep state of rest the nervous system can neutralise and consciousness expands to experiencing a state of being the perceiver no longer perceiving. A state of being where there simply is no doing. Here the experience of profound rest and inner peace awakens the brain and nervous system giving us access to a more fuller potential of the mind. This natural union of mind and body signals the body to neutralise accumulated stress, tension and fatigue. LIterally the body releases cellular stress build up. From this new experience of deep regulated restfulness, the direct experience of transcing the mind reframes the relationship we have with our thinking mind. Our thoughts become something we are capable of witnessing rather than our thoughts being our identified individual self and stress is realised to be our reaction rather than something that actually happens. From here we can awaken free of the rumination and worry and be more present. The effects and benefits are often quite swift!

Once you have learned to meditate with this technique you can practice anywhere, anytime for life.

Regular twice daily practice of Vedic Meditation is guaranteed to make you feel less stress and anxiety, it creates a calm and expanded mind with more insightful and dynamic awareness bringing profound shifts to your overall health and way of being.
