Vedic meditation is an easy and effortless technique that anyone can learn. There is no focus, no concentration and no control of the mind. Instead, you are given a personal mantra, and are taught how to use it silently and effortlessly to allow the mind and body to relax. In turn, this allows you to release built up stress and fatigue easily and spontaneously. Through a daily practice, you become less stressed, more calm, and begin to tap into your natural state of creativity, clarity and happiness.

We use a mantra to help catch the mind and draw it towards deeper, quieter states of being. We combine the use of a mantra with a simple, easy technique that teaches you how to let go. The best part is that by learning how to let go in meditation we learn how to let go in daily life. Think of meditation like a simulator - the more time you spend learning the more you’re able to put it into practice!

We aim to practice for 20 minutes, twice a day with the eyes closed. We practice sitting upright (think chair, couch, parked car or even your bed). We sit comfortably, easily and can move at any point if we get uncomfortable. You don’t need a meditation room, all you need is a place to sit and close the eyes. We always say wherever you can think, you can meditate.
