How do you practice the technique?
To meditate, you sit comfortably in a chair with your back supported and your eyes closed. And over the course of about 20 minutes you let your mind settle down to increasingly quiter levels of consciousness by utilizing the sound of a mantra. To an outside observer you will appear to be simply resting.
What’s different about this technique?
Whereas many other meditation practices may require some degree of concentration, focus, or contemplation, Vedic meditation requires no activity. The technique feels natural, simple and effortless. You sit comfortably in a chair and you never have to “try” to meditate.
Where does this technique come from?
This technique originated in ancient India.
Do I have to change my lifestyle in order to benefit from this technique?
The technique is sequential and scientific in nature. And like yoga, Vedic Meditation can be practiced and enjoyed by anyone, regardless of cultural or religious beliefs, or lifestyle.
What if I have too many thoughts when I try to quiet my mind?
If you feel like your mind is always active, you are a perfect candidate for this technique because you don’t have to “try” to stop thinking or “try” to do anything for that matter. “Trying” is actually what excites the mind and causes thinking. Vedic Meditation effortlessly settles the mind in the most natural and immediate way.
