Learn to Meditate (in-person only)
Meditation has become a widely used term, often losing its original essence. There’s a common misconception that meditation means halting your thoughts altogether, akin to stopping a speeding Ferrari mid-race. It’s an unreasonable and unrealistic expectation.
Vedic Meditation, a practice dating back five to seven thousand years, originated from ancient sages who introduced it to humanity. It’s akin to learning an instrument or sport, focusing on refining your concentration. Similar to a child learning to ride a bike, the initial stages may feel unfamiliar and unmanageable, but once mastered, the skill remains ingrained. Meditation follows a similar trajectory. This doesn’t imply that they are incapable of riding it; rather, it signifies the necessity for practice.
Many people express difficulty with meditation, citing their busy minds as an obstacle. If you’re attempting to silence your thoughts, it can indeed be challenging. I, too, struggled, believing meditation was beyond my reach. Seven years later, it’s a daily practice that nourishes not only my mind but also my heart and soul. While it hasn’t been effortless, following the guidelines has made it akin to second nature.
Vedic Meditation offers a single word, known as a mantra, to focus on. “Mantra” translates to “mind” (man) and “vehicle” (tra) — the sound itself serves as the vehicle for your mind.
In 2023, I achieved certification as a Vedic Meditation Teacher. I am excited to be able to share this sacred practice with others who feel overwhelmed by their thoughts.
