What is Vedic Meditation?
Vedic Meditation is a simple yet powerful technique for dissolving accumulated stress in people with full lives and busy schedules.
In this straight-forward and effortless practice, we sit twice a day for 20-minutes in a comfortable position with our backs supported and our eyes closed. A prescribed mantra, a sound with no intended meaning, is used to draw the mind inward towards a deeply restful state, one which studies show – even in a meditator with under two weeks of practice - to be 2 to 5 times more restorative than the rest gained at any given point during a night’s sleep.
Vedic Meditation is for everyone, and while unaffiliated with any sect or religion, the practice is derived from the Veda, the 5000 year old Indian body of knowledge responsible for giving rise to Yoga, Buddhism, and much of eastern philosophy. For thousands of years people across the world have utilized a version of an eyes closed practice, going inward as a means of stabilizing serenity in the mind, body, and spirit.
