VEDIC MEDITATION

Reduce stress and anxiety

Meditation cuts back your stress chemistry (like cortisol and adrenaline) and replaces it with natural, endogenous bliss chemistry (like dopamine and serotonin).

Stay focused and clear

Meditation develops full-brain functioning. Your prefrontal cortex is activated, alpha waves increase and neurophysiology changes so you think clearly and make good decisions.

Sleep better and have more energy

The very deep rest of meditation does two things: gives you lots of energy throughout the day and calms your system so you can fall asleep (and stay asleep!)

Be healthier and younger

Stress weakens your immune system and speeds up the ageing process. Meditation reverses this: you get sick less often and you stay youthful.

Get along better with people

When you’re healthier, happier and thinking clearly, you’re a nicer person to be around. All your relationships get better.

Vedic Meditation comes from the Veda, the ancient body of knowledge from India. The Veda is the source of yoga, meditation, and Ayurvedic medicine and is the basis of all Eastern philosophy.

On the course you learn a mantra—a simple meaningless sound—that you repeat silently. The mantra quiets the mind and takes you to a settled state. As your mind settles, your body begins to rest more deeply than sleep. You come out of meditation feeling clear, refreshed, and ready to engage.

Vedic Meditation is effortless and natural. You simply sit in a chair with your eyes closed for about 20 minutes in the morning and again in the early evening.

What it’s NOT:

• you’re not joining a religion or changing your beliefs
• you don’t have to struggle to focus or concentrate
• it’s not difficult—anyone can do this
• you don’t have to ditch your latte and switch to kale juice
