Saying you’re too busy to meditate is a bit like saying you’re too hungry to eat. Meditation isn’t just another thing to fit into your schedule—it’s the thing that makes the whole schedule feel lighter. It’s the balm that soothes overwhelm and the landscaper that gently clears anxiety from the roots of your nervous system.

Releasing the clenched fist
Only four or so decades ago, it was popular for wealthy travellers to leave India with a pet monkey. Monkey catchers would dig a small pit, pop in some fruits and nuts and covered it with a heavy slab that had a tiny hole, big enough to fit a monkey’s arm.

Another monkey to be sold. Had the monkey simply let go of the food before the monkey catcher swooped in, it would be free.

A self sufficient practice that leads to a life of self sufficiency
Vedic meditation is a self sufficient practice meaning we are not reliant on anything external to us (app, class, guiding voice) to practice it. All we need is some back support and somewhere to safely close our eyes. Noise is no barrier, movement around us is no barrier.
Vedic Meditators are not reliant on focusing or emptying the mind to experience deep inner contentedness during our practice.

Practicing Vedic Meditation gives the mind the chance to reset, twice a day.
It allows us to move beyond the layer of beliefs and stories that loop through our mind each day. The stories about who we are, the things we think we need to acquire to feel satisfied and the people or things that stand in our way of acquiring those things.
Vedic Meditation doesn’t just provide us with a systematic way of releasing stress from the physiology. It gives us a twice daily reminder of our true nature. When we allow the mind to settle to its least excited state of awareness, a state beyond thoughts, we make contact with bliss and we realise we are much more than our thoughts and emotions and we are not bound by the physical body.
