What is Vedic Meditation?

Vedic Meditation is one of the oldest, most natural forms of meditation. This advanced technique originates from India as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It is practiced for 20 minutes, twice a day, while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. In this meditation, we use a personal mantra, as given to us by our meditation teacher.

What is a Vedic Meditation Mantra?

In contrast to mindfulness meditation, in Vedic meditation we self-transcend using a personal mantra that is given by specially qualified Vedic mediation teachers. Repeating our mantra allows us to remove focus thought and relax. There is no focusing of the mind in Vedic meditation, unlike concentration techniques.
