WHAT IS VEDIC MEDITATION

We’ve reached a point where most of us are at least familiar with the term meditation and likely have a modern interpretation of it being a tool to relieve stress. This is indeed the case, but meditation can actually provide much more than relief from the negative impacts of stress. A more traditional understanding of meditation is it being a mental practice designed to affect the mind and body into more expanded states of awareness. Really, it’s all one in the same thing as stress inhibits the expansion of your awareness.

Vedic Meditation is an effortless, yet profoundly powerful, technique that launders stress and fatigue from your system and rapidly expands your self-awareness. In this practice you are given a personalised mantra (or sound) that works as a vehicle to lull the mind into deeper, quieter, more expansive and creative states of awareness. It’s a process we call transcendence, which means to ‘go beyond’. Within this practice we can ‘go beyond’ the existing models of both mind and body and carve out new ways of living. With continued practice we begin to notice how this expanding awareness infuses our daily life, sprouting increased capability of the mind and enhanced functionality of the body. Yes, the body too, as what happens within the mind inextricably prints out in the body. While the mind is transcending into new realms the body is able to self-soothe in a deep level of rest which enables all bodily systems to function more optimally and return to homeostasis.

Vedic Meditation is practiced for 20 minutes twice daily. When you sit and close your eyes there is no need to try and stop yourself from thinking, no need to try and make yourself more relaxed, and no need to concentrate on or control anything. It truly is an ‘effortless’ practice, made even more beneficial amidst a culture that values, emphasises and rewards striving and doing all the things, which is often to the detriment of your wellbeing. Meditation returns you to an anchored and grounded state of being and implicit within that can be:

  • Reduced stress and anxiety

  • Experience of greater happiness and fulfillment

  • Increased energy and vitality

  • Greater focus and clarity

  • Enhanced creativity

  • Elevated motivation, passion and enthusiasm

  • Being more present and connected in daily life

  • Growth of resilience and adaptability

  • Spontaneous gratitude

  • Emotional stability

  • More connected relationships

  • Alleviation of addictive tendencies

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Improved physical functioning and performance

  • A boosted immune system

  • Regulation of blood pressure

  • Hormonal balance

  • Better quality sleep

Vedic Meditation is steeped in ancient wisdom and upon learning this technique you also gain access to this body of knowledge and how to apply it to your life experience. The correlating wisdom of the practice is like the belt the tool of meditation is carried in and provides even more understanding of life as a whole and enhances your natural ability to navigate with grace and ease.
