Why Vedic Meditation?
There are myriad forms of meditation, multiple mindfulness apps and a bevy of places to “drop in” to calm the mind. Each offers something unique, but what distinguishes Vedic Meditation is its rich history and ethos. Vedic Meditation is about the integration of life. The foundational practice is simple, but the philosophy can be expanded to all facets of daily living—or not—as one likes. It’s simple because it is intended for “house-holders”: people with jobs, families, obligations and the desire to live a dynamic life rather than a monastic one.
Whom is it for?
Vedic Meditation is relevant for anyone looking to fully potentiate themselves. It quiets the nervous system by triggering a deep--or transcendent state--that proves 2-5 times more restful (in 20 minutes) than 5 hours of sleep. From deep rest, springs great possibility--creativity, productivity, resilience and beyond. The physiological benefits, alone, are compelling with peer-reviewed studies illuminating a litany of physical benefits including improved sleep/insomnia, lowered blood pressure, increased energy and reduction in anxiety/depression. A comprehensive list of physical benefits resides in the link below.

Again, Why Exactly Should I…?
There is never one, succinct reason to meditate. Some come to calm themselves and others to contemplate the meaning of life. At its core, Vedic Meditation provides a daily return to tabula rasa: trading stress and suffering for joy and possibility. Thusly, it can be said that VM is a natural prerequisite for all other living and learning: for the more one roots in being, the more joy and self-knowing flower in her life and all she endeavors. Stress is inevitable; staying stressed is not.
Vedic Meditation reveals that joy--unfettered inner contentedness deriving from nowhere but everywhere, not from a thing but from all things--is every human-merely-being’s birthright.
