What is Vedic Meditation
Vedic Meditation is an easy and natural technique that de-excites the mind and rests the body, a rest 3-5x deeper than our deepest level of sleep. As the mind settles, the body follows - allowing the body to release stress and fatigue.
Unlike other meditations which require concentration or contemplation and keep the mind at the active thinking layer, Vedic Meditation allows the mind to move to subtler layers of thought. The body begins to experience deep unprecedented rest and with each meditation we release more and more of our accumulated stress.
It’s practiced with your eyes closed, sitting comfortably, for 20 minutes twice daily. I know - who has that time! But soon you’ll go from, “how do I fit this in?” to “let’s fit everything else around my meditation.” And honestly, you’ll have more energy to fit in more.
How Can I Learn
Step 1
Sign-up for a free introductory talk online.
There are lots of types of meditation out there, find out why Vedic Meditation is par excellence! Of course I'm biased, but sign-up to hear why. We'll have a casual talk where we get to meet and see if this type of meditation is right for you. You’ll learn more about the practice, its scientifically proven benefits and what to expect on the course. I’ll clear up any questions you may have. There’s no obligation to take the course.
Step 2
Register for the 4-day course.
Vedic Meditation is taught in-person, over 4 consecutive days, for about 90 minutes each day. On the first day you'll receive your personalized mantra and learn the effortless technique. The next 3 days are about refining your practice, learning more about the mechanics and what's happening in the mind and body when you meditate. By the end of the course, you’ll have mastered the technique and will be a self-sufficient meditator.​
Step 3
After the 4-day course, attend free weekly group meditations.
Group meditations are held in person and virtually for free. You may also join other Vedic Meditation teachers' group meditations worldwide. You'll receive weekly check-in emails for 6 months and Vedic Knowledge newsletters. You're able to re-attend a future course as a refresher. You'll also have a lifetime of support around your practice.
Course Fee
If after attending an intro talk you decide to learn to meditate, there is a one-time course fee based on a sliding scale ($550 minimum for students and people on fixed incomes). It's a time honored tradition that in order to receive something of value, we must give something of value. The fee is also reflective of having life-long follow-up.
Where do I teach?
The 4 day beginners course is taught in person at my home in South Pasadena, CA (Los Angeles). I also teach a few times a year in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan (suburbs of Detroit).
If you'd prefer to learn privately at a different location with your work team, group of friends or individually, please send me an email.
