Vedic Meditation is a simple mental technique practiced for 20 minutes twice a day. This technique along with asana and Ayurveda originates from India's ancient Vedic tradition. Vedic Meditation was bought to the west in the 1950's by Marharishi Mahesh Yogi. This easy to learn and easy to practice technique holds no religious belief systems, requires no concentrating or focusing, no trying to "empty the mind" it is one of the worlds most effective and effortless forms of meditation. Almost anyone can learn!

THE TECHNIQUE

Vedic Meditation is an easy and natural mantra based technique, that stimulates a completely new brain functioning to any other type of meditation, hypnotic or drug induced state.

Each new meditator receives a personalised mantra, which is a sound that holds no intended meaning. With correct instruction the mantra charms your 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 invited into a profound rest that is 2-3 times deeper than sleep. In this deep state of rest the nervous system can neutralise and subsequently consciousness expands, as it has a direct experience of being the perceiver that is no longer perceiving. A state of pure being and expanded awareness 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 the cellular build up of stress. From this new experience of deep regulated restfulness, the direct experience of transcending 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 become more present. The effects and benefits are often quite rapid! 

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.

THE COURSE

The Vedic meditation course is conducted over 4 x 90 minutes sessions over 4 consecutive days, in person in a group setting. The Transcend online course is structured exactly the same but run via zoom. This digital offer is most commonly utilised by remote students and new mothers and is simply creating additional formats to complete this comprehensive training for those who otherwise can not attend in person. Intention and mantra are not bound by time and space, so this offering will give you a rich experience no matter where you are turning in from!

In the first session we partake in a Pooja ceremony, honouring the ancient lineage of teachers and tradition that came before us. Then each student receives their individualised Mantra and are given instruction how to enter the meditative state effortlessly.

The following 3 sessions we refine correct practice, explore the mind body connection, impacts of stress and mechanisms of stress release while reviewing practical experience and you graduate as a confident meditator and member of a global community for life.
