If meditation has felt like a struggle, you're not alone. Many techniques rely on concentration and sheer effort. Vedic Meditation does not.

In the four-day course, you'll discover how natural deep rest can be, and leave ready to practice on your own.

Vedic Meditation is built on ease, not effort. We avoid rigidity instead favor a gentle approach. Simply find a comfortable seat, back supported, hands resting loosely, legs stretched out or crossed, however your body feels most at home. Twice a day, for 20 minutes, you settle in and let the mind drift into deep rest. Once in the morning to greet the day refreshed and once in the afternoon, preferably between meals, to let the day's stress melt away.

Life happens, and that's okay. Twice a day for 20 minutes is the rhythm that brings optimal results, providing stability, adaptability and joy to meet whatever life brings. We don’t favor guilt in this practice. If you miss a meditation, you simply pick up with the next one. Most people find that after a missed session or two, they notice the difference, and that's what turns meditation from something they should do into something they don't want to go without.
