Meditation without effort

This technique involves no concentration and no attempt to empty the mind. It is practiced sitting comfortably with the eyes closed, using a class of mantra distinct from those used in other practices. These mantras draw the mind inward to a state of quiet awareness, and because they do this on their own, no effort is needed.

The nature of consciousness

Masters of the Vedic tradition have investigated consciousness through direct, first-person observation, recording their findings in texts such as the Upanishads and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. The technique of Vedic Meditation leads the mind to the state of quiet awareness these texts describe.

A course in two parts

Students learn Vedic Meditation directly from a trained teacher, in four in-person sessions on consecutive days, followed by a six-week online seminar. Anna teaches the course in small groups or privately.

Advanced study

After the course, students can continue their study with advanced techniques of Vedic Meditation, Advanced Knowledge courses, and private consultations.
