Vedic Meditation is an effective stress-reducing technique that comes from the Veda, the ancient body of knowledge from India. The Veda is the source of the arts and sciences of meditation, yoga, Ayurvedic medicine, and Eastern philosophy. This knowledge is universally available to anyone regardless of your beliefs or background.
When you learn the technique on the course you receive a personalized mantra, a simple sound without meaning, that you think silently. The mantra quiets the mind into a settled state. As your mind settles, your body begins to rest more deeply than sleep. You come out of meditation feeling clear, refreshed, and ready to engage.
During meditation you sit comfortably in a chair with the back supported and the eyes closed for about 20 minutes in the morning, and again in the afternoon or early evening.

You don’t have to struggle to focus or concentrate.
You don’t have to ditch your coffee or become a vegetarian.
