I teach an effortless letting-go technique

Vedic is an English version of the Sanskrit word Veda, which means knowledge. It comes from ancient India and is not Hinduism; it predates all religions. It is a 5,000-year-old body of knowledge governing the laws of nature that gave us yoga, Vedic meditation and Ayurveda.

No. There is no belief system to adopt. It is a simple, natural technique practised sitting comfortably with your eyes closed.

Many meditation practices ask you to focus, observe or control your thoughts. Vedic meditation is the opposite: it is effortless, with no concentration, and the mantra lets your mind settle in its own time.

A mantra is a sound with no meaning, used as a vehicle to let your attention settle inward. On the first day, you will receive your own personal mantra. The mantra is practised silently and effortlessly internally, there is no forcing and no concentration.

Transcending is the mind settling beyond active thought into a quiet, restful state. You are awake and aware, yet it is different from waking, dreaming, or sleeping. It can feel like the moment just before you fall asleep, drifting between states, while your body gains deep rest.

Yes. Unlike practices that ask you to clear your mind or stop thinking, Vedic meditation embraces thoughts as a natural part of the mental process. Having them does not mean you are doing it wrong, and there is nothing to suppress or control. You simply return to the mantra effortlessly, and your mind settles in its own time.

Yes, deep rest is where it starts. Regular practice helps shift your nervous system out of chronic “fight-or-flight” mode and can lower stress hormones such as cortisol. Over time it releases stress and fatigue and helps you recover your energy. It works well alongside professional care, so please keep seeing your doctor or therapist if you need to.

Vedic meditation was made for full, busy lives. It is 20 minutes, twice a day, and the rest it gives you tends to make the rest of the day easier. A hectic life is a very good reason to begin now.

You sit comfortably with your eyes closed for 20 minutes, twice a day, usually in the morning and again in the late afternoon or early evening. You need no special equipment, and you can practise almost anywhere you can sit comfortably, such as a chair, a couch, a park bench or even your parked car.
