What is Vedic Meditation?

Vedic Meditation is a simple and natural technique that is practiced for 20 minutes twice a day. It is natural to the mind and allows our body to reset and recharge at the cellular level. In this technique, we work with a bija mantra, which is essentially a sound & vibration. The mantra naturally guides our mind to transcend thought, entering a field of being— pure consciousness. As we experience this state of restful alertness, we reset the nervous system & rewire our brain to engage more fully in the now.

THE NEUROCHEMISTRY

  • Increased Serotonin and Dopamine

    Vedic Meditation boosts serotonin, the "feel-good" neurotransmitter, and dopamine, which is linked to pleasure and reward. This promotes improved mood, satisfaction, and motivation.

  • Decreased Cortisol

    Meditation significantly lowers cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for stress, helping to reduce its negative impact on the body.

  • Balanced Brainwaves

    Vedic Meditation increases alpha and theta brainwave activity. Alpha waves are associated with a relaxed, alert state, while theta waves are linked to rest and intuitive thinking. This combination helps reduce anxiety and fosters a deep sense of calm and rejuvenation.

  • Release of Oxytocin + GABA

    The practice also promotes the release of oxytocin (the "love hormone") and GABA, a neurotransmitter that calms the nervous system. These neurochemicals counteract stored stress chemistry, fostering feelings of awareness, calmness, creativity, connectedness, and inner peace.

  • Neural Rewiring

    Regular practice reinforces the "rest and fulfillment response" over the "fight or flight" response. This not only improves brain coherence but also supports neural rewiring, helping you break free from cyclical stress patterns and move toward a state of lasting relaxation and clarity.

SIGNATURE ELEMENTS

  • THE SOURCE

    Vedic Meditation traces its roots back thousands of years to the ancient Vedas of India. The Vedas are ancient texts in India that are really the heart of the Yoga system. “Veda” means knowledge of the whole truth, the truth that can withstand a view from any angle, the truth that never changes. 

    This technique was brought to the West by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to provide a direct experience with our natural state of Being.

  • EFFORTLESS

    This practice is for everyone. There is no concentration, control, focus, or effort. It's a science of simply meeting the mind where it's at. This practice is a very simple and natural process that honors the actual nature of our mind. Just as the heart beats, the mind thinks. Thoughts during this kind meditation are normal, and begin to feel different.

  • A SCIENCE OF LETTING GO

    This technique drops us into the deepest rest state possible. Our body's major organs hover at their least excited state, and it feels like our body is asleep yet our mind is restfully alert. This is why, unlike other meditation traditions, we sit with our back fully supported so we can let go fully.

  • SELF SUFFICIENCY

    A distinguishing factor of this technique, is that it is a self-sufficient practice. This 4-day course is designed to empower YOU with a tool to self regulate and expand your consciousness for the rest of your life without relying on an external teacher, app, or class. This is a game changer.

being, beyond stress.

Stress isn’t bad—in fact, it’s an evolutionary response designed to help us survive. It’s triggered by our perception of overwhelm. When we see ourselves as unable to handle a situation, our brain shifts away from higher functions to conserve energy, storing unresolved experiences that manifest as repetitive thoughts—up to 80,000 a day, with 95% being the same.

Life itself isn’t inherently stressful; our perception makes it feel that way. Vedic Meditation resets our nervous system so that our the mind becomes restfully alert. The result is a capacity to be with life without overwhelm—in fact, we begin to experience an increase of creativity, acceptance, compassion, adaptability, and connection.
