Just wrapped up another beautiful Vedic Meditation course here in Port Macquarie .
It’s inspiring to see more and more people in this community embracing meditation — finding deeper rest, greater clarity, and more ease in daily life.
I even found a pocket of time to visit the famous Flynns Beach (thanks Anna J. 💓).
I’ll be back before too long — but in the meantime, if you’re curious about Vedic Meditation and how it can support you, I’d love to share more. Reach out for a free Intro — link in bio 🔝

🌊 It feels wonderful to return to Port Macquarie to teach Vedic Meditation in this beautiful coastal community, just a few hundred kilometres south of my own.
Meditation is so much more than a practice — it’s a gift we give ourselves each day, twice per day in fact!
With every sitting, we press pause on the noise of life and reconnect with a quieter, steadier place within.
From that inner stillness, clarity naturally arises. Stored stress chemistry unlocks and begins releasing, worries dissolve, and a deeper sense of ease and fulfilment emerges.
Vedic Meditation is a simple, sustainable technique that helps us restore balance and reveals the potential that’s already within.
If you’d like to learn, I warmly invite you to a complimentary Introductory Session ( 🔗 in bio 🔝 ) where you can discover what this practice can bring to your life.
✨ Courses are currently available across the Mid North Coast and Lower Clarence Valley, as well as in Sydney (NSW) and Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Don’t mind our windy hair — life on the coast comes with days like these 🩵
Here I’m pictured with some of the meditators who have added an advanced Vedic technique to their practice, known as Rounding.
🌿 Gentle yoga, pranayama (breath), rest, and meditation — all in one sequence.
It’s simple yet profound, and suitable for everyone to learn. No prior experience with yoga asanas (or being super bendy!) is required. You do need to be an existing Vedic meditator to learn.
This sequence prepares both mind and body for a deeper meditation experience, while also releasing accumulated bio-chemical stress stored at the cellular level. The result is often greater clarity, ease, and even a new sense of lightness in life.
✨ ‘Learn to Round’ is open to all existing Vedic or Transcendental Meditators. I offer it individually or in group settings.

Mostly I, personally, meditate indoors (yes, fewer bugs 🐛 🐜 🐝) !
But today, Nature pulled me inwards on that bench - beyond beauty, beyond distraction, beyond the surface.
Into the infinite ♾️ field where:
🌊 The rhythm already holds everything together.
🌊 The intelligence needs no control, no effort, no plan.
🌊 The quiet order is revealed which is always present.
This is the essence of Vedic Meditation: reconnecting us with this truth — beyond mind, beyond body, beyond thought.

A Short Story from Me
When winter even thinks about arriving here on the Mid North Coast (usually sometime in May), I pull my doona out of the cupboard.
(Doona/h is an Aussie word for a soft quilted blanket or duvet.)
My family laughs because I practically disappear into it. I meditate wrapped in it, make a cocoon out of it when I go to sleep, and sometimes wonder if I might just fuse with it entirely. Its comfort turned up to 200%!
But then spring arrives (it’s coming soon ☀️!), and suddenly the same blanket that felt like heaven becomes a recipe for overheating and slight suffering.
So, I fold it up and tuck it away.
Here’s the funny part:
I don’t pine for it. I don’t sit in the hot summer sun, sighing, “Oh, my blanket…”
I completely forget it exists until the next cool weather whispers through. Total non-attachment!
And honestly, the blanket doesn’t seem to mind. It doesn’t sulk in the cupboard, offended that I’ve abandoned it. It waits patiently for its season.
Meanwhile, if I clung to it for all the wrong reasons—dragging it through sweaty nights—I’d only make myself more miserable.
That’s when it clicks: this is what non-attachment looks like in real life.
Enjoying fully when the moment is right, letting go easily when the moment has passed.
If we can manage that with a blanket, perhaps we can manage it with bigger things too—identities, stories, all the ways we try to keep ourselves cocooned.
And if a humble doona can surrender without fuss, maybe we can, too.
In the same way, Vedic Meditation practice teaches us how to rest deeply when it’s time to rest, act fully when it’s time to act, and let go when the moment has passed.

When we meditate twice daily, we:
✨ Dive into the subtle layers of consciousness
✨ Discover our true nature
✨ Go beyond daily routines, beyond thought, beyond identity
✨ Experience deep rest and rejuvenation
✨ Access the ever-present state of pure consciousness or field of ‘Being’ within ♾️
Beginners of this practice after meditating often ask: “Was that transcendence?”
And many describe their meditation as:
✨ Relaxing
✨ Tranquil
✨ Dreamy
✨ Blissful
✨ Restful
✨ Familiar, yet rarely felt before
This is just a glimpse. True transcendence is blissful, always accessible, within us.
Imagine experiencing this regularly. How would your life change?
Imagine carrying that calm, clarity, and joy into every moment.
It’s simpler than you think - you’re just one step away!

In Vedic meditation, we return again and again to Being — that quiet, unchanging field within.
From it, we act not out of grasping, but from spontaneous right action, guided by inner stillness.
To detach from the surface layer of life doesn’t mean we feel and love less — it means we feel and love freely,
without trying to freeze life into permanence.
It means showing up fully, without clinging to how we think it should be.
This is Self-referral consciousness — where our experience of life is not dependent on outcomes, approval, or gain.
It’s anchored in the Self, not the ever-shifting surface of experience.
We suffer when we cling, because life is fluid. The tide moves. Circumstances change. Relationships evolve.
Detachment is knowing: I am whole, even as the world shifts.
Surrender. Witness. Return to stillness.
🕉️ Meditate. Transcend. Act. Release. Anchored in Being. Embraced by Stillness.

In Vedic meditation
the grip begins to loosen.
The grip of staying
on the very surface layer of life.
We don’t force it.
We don’t even try.
And the grip lets go.
Not all at once —
but gently, naturally,
with each return to stillness.
And beneath that surface,
as we settle into meditation and touch subtler layers of consciousness, surrender begins to unfold on its own.
We meet something deeper.
Something quiet,
and completely whole.
This is how Vedic Meditation prepares us:
In the silence of effortlessness,
we begin to experience more.
We return to ourSelf —
not as a concept, but as a direct experience.
Now, anchored in Being,
we notice something remarkable:
The mind softens.
The identity thins.
The grasping fades.
No effort.
No control.
A quiet opening.
A gentle seeing.
Like that, as it happens inside of meditation first,
when it happens in life ~ we are ready.
When we let go,
we notice that the things that are right for us
are always at our reach,
clearer and stronger than they were before.

Do you ever feel that planning and taking action in some direction becomes supercharged when you’re open to surrendering the need to have it all figured out and controlled?
Would love to hear your thoughts about it in the comment below ⬇️.
My practice of Vedic meditation has unlocked 🔓 endless doors, perhaps the greatest of all are indeed those of surrender, non-attachment and being open.
Teaching Vedic meditation in Port Macquarie this past week has perfectly demonstrated this to be true.
It’s been a beautiful, evolving experience and I’ll certainly return in August!

Currently teaching at a stunning new location on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales.
The gift of a grounded, sustainable, daily meditation practice is the greatest gift one can give to themselves.
Each time we meditate, we cultivate inner stillness amidst life’s chaos. After meditation, our minds are clearer and calmer, leading to a natural sense of contentment and happiness.
Vedic Meditation washes away the daily wear and tear, the accrued worry, agitation, and indecision that prevent us from living fully and realising and living our optimal potential.

I’ll be teaching a beginners course in VEDIC MEDITATION in Sydney starting on 20th of May.
This in-person course for beginners will be held over four consecutive days, 90 min per day and following the course you’ll become a self-sufficient meditator.
Twenty minutes of Vedic meditation practiced twice per day will connect you back to the inner stillness. It will connect you to your inner stability, clarity, and open up creative-based thinking for the day ahead. Your mind will settle and your body will have the experience of deep relaxation.
As you begin to feel anchored this way ~ a deep sense of fulfilment and blissfulness bubbles up. You can infuse it into everything that happens outside of meditations. You’ll begin to live more from a place of ease and inner contentment instead of stress and overexertion.
If you are interested ~ simply join me for an
INTRO session.

It is a true privilege to teach VEDIC MEDITATION and impart timeless wisdom that holds great significance in today’s world within this serene space.
Thank you, @m__therapy 💫♥️!

“The gift of learning to meditate is the greatest gift
you can give yourself in this lifetime.”
I echo the words of seers from time-immemorial. It remains as relevant today as it was some 5000 years ago.
We live in an era of great challenges and continuous change.
VEDIC MEDITATION is a practice that supports a fulfilling life. It is both simple and easy, it serves as a powerful remedy for stress. As our bodies receive the essential deep rest through regular practice, our minds start to become aware of its own true nature.
This practice is completely effortless.
Despite its ancient roots, it is ideally suited for modern individuals who live the fast-paced lives.
Ultimately it expands your consciousness and with that, naturally, it expands your experience of life.

VEDIC MEDITATION supports the mind’s natural inclination for stillness, enabling our mind to experience its finer states of awareness, contentment and calmness.
It also significantly alleviates and releases stresses from the nervous system, facilitating profound rest.
Therefore, it serves as a vital key to reconnect you back to your true Self.
Because, the truth is, your certainty resides in your true Self. True certainty cannot be found in the ever-changing external world.
As you learn to go within, this naturally transforms your outer experience as well. If you desire a positive external reality, begin by diving deep within.
Practice of VEDIC MEDITATION makes this process easy, simple, and natural.

Nature finds a way to create playful themes 🌴🌿🍃. It certainly caught my attention ~ the swaying vines during recent strong 🌀winds.
Everything in nature, including our own lives, is designed for both progressive change and for balance.
Our nervous system is designed to be balanced.
In these modern times the accumulation of stress most often throws our system out of balance.
At the same time we are built with a deep need and desire to live a happy life, therefore our mind continues to seek happiness.
We crave it, we crave homeostasis.
By regular practice of VEDIC MEDITATION we not only enter those perfect conditions to experience contact with our inner-Self, but also we allow our body to experience a deep rest; and to faster release the accumulation of stress from our physiology.
A Vedic meditator wakes up with each day with less and less stress in the body. This is because this technique can systematically release it much faster than it can possibly be re-accumulated.
As we carry less stress, and at the same time, experience these daily contacts with our inner-self, we are naturally also calmer and happier with each day.
Another ‘side effect’ of this practice is that we become less and less reliant on external circumstances, other people etc to ‘make us’ well and happy.
HAPPINESS indeed comes from within!
Easy to practice & easy to learn by attending a one-off in-person course over four consecutive days (4x90 min).

“A small wave on the surface of the ocean

but the same wave becomes powerful
when it connects with deeper levels of water.
~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi ~

By practicing Vedic meditation you will become skilled in an effortless dive beneath the stress and busyness, often dominating the surface-layer of our minds in this modern day living.
By learning to effortlessly dive below the surface, just as we would dive below the ocean waves, we find unbounded stillness and calm. Everything becomes crystal clear.
Learning to effortlessly dive to this place is an essential skill to also become skilful in navigating our lives, in our ever-changing modern world, and doing so with more ease.

“The gift of learning to meditate
is the greatest gift
you can give yourself in this lifetime.”
I echo the words of seers from time-immemorial. It remains as relevant today as it was some 5000 years ago.
We live in an era of great challenges and continuous change. However, it appears that we, both individually and collectively, have mastered the art of ‘postponing the good’.
Do you agree?
VEDIC MEDITATION is a practice that supports a fulfilling life.
It is both simple and easy, and has stood the test of time.
It serves as a powerful remedy for stress. As our bodies receive the essential deep rest through regular practice, our minds start to become aware of its own true nature.
The results of regular practice is a natural inclination of our minds towards feelings of joy and contentment.
Whilst meditating there is no concentration or contemplation, in contrary, Vedic meditation is completely effortless.
Despite its ancient roots, it is ideally suited for modern individuals who live the fast-paced lives.
VEDIC MEDITATION expands your consciousness and with that, naturally, it expands your experience of life.

“Look to this day,
for it is life, the very breath of life.
In its brief course lie
all the realities of your existence;
the bliss of growth,
the glory of action,
the splendor of beauty.
For yesterday is only a dream,
and tomorrow is but a vision.
But today, well lived,
makes every yesterday
a dream of happiness,
and every tomorrow
a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day.”

’’In a group you get many, many times more refined perception than when you practice alone.
When we do our practice in a group, everyone enjoys the effect of everyone else in the group. If we have a group of a hundred people, the effect of the group purity on our personal experience will be many, many times more. In a group you get many, many times more refined perception than when you practice alone. That is the reason why in a group the experiences are deeper.
Deeper experiences mean that the awareness fathoms much greater levels of unity.

“Wasting time is not
the absence of action but
the quiet betrayal
of what matters most,
a clinging to the outworn,
a loyalty to misplaced habits,
and a resistance to
the inevitable 𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘰.
We preserve truths
that no longer steady us,
postpone love we are too afraid to offer,
and justify the postponement of life
as though time will wait for us.
Yet time,
in its infinite patience,
flows on,
leaving behind the ache of
missed opportunities and
unopened gifts.
To live fully is
to stop resisting,
to release what no longer serves,
and to meet each moment with
the fierce clarity
that life is fleeting and precious,
asking only for
our wholehearted 𝘠𝘌𝘚.”

I clearly recall those early feelings of expansion ~ so new ~ yet so familiar, akin to a homecoming.
Having learnt 𝘝𝘌𝘋𝘐𝘊 𝘔𝘌𝘋𝘐𝘛𝘈𝘛𝘐𝘖𝘕 in person truly is a unique, special, sacred, and unforgettable experience!
Why is this so?
In a nutshell, 𝘝𝘌𝘋𝘐𝘊 𝘔𝘌𝘋𝘐𝘛𝘈𝘛𝘐𝘖𝘕 practice returns you to your true self, back to your natural state. As we meditate, the truth of your own nature is spontaneously revealed.
The practice itself is completely effortless (well, a small effort is required to actually sit down comfortably to meditate, but that’s about it).
As the entire process is 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦, 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 & 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵, the benefits can be felt almost immediately.

“The best thing you can give yourself is the gift of transcendence.”
~ George Harrison, The Beatles ~
It is well acknowledged that the way we ‘stress’ as individuals and as a society in these modern times is unhealthy.
Summer break, any kind of holidays really, can be a perfect example of the extremes we face; we either work (and stress) too much throughout the year and we struggle to unwind when we finally stop.
So stress can persists even on our happiest and most “relaxing” days.
Resting deeply equals less stress.
But how do we rest differently from what we’ve been taught: sleeping, dreaming, napping, perhaps fantasising, and simply relaxing?
Practicing 𝖵𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖢 𝖬𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖳𝖠𝖳𝖨𝖮𝖭, a time-tested ancient technique, leads to the deepest rest conceivable, far beyond sleeping or dreaming.
Vedic meditation is not only simple and uncomplicated, but it is also incredibly straightforward and easy to learn.
My teacher’s master, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, underlined that regular meditation practice allows one to achieve a level of restful alertness, a profound silence that rejuvenates both the mind and the body.
So, if this resonates and you want to live with less stress and more balance, schedule an 𝖨𝖭𝖳𝖱𝖮 to learn more. 🔗 See bio 🔝.

That’s a wrap for the group meditations on the Coffs Coast for the year!
Thanks to those who were able to join us in person last night and those who joined in from a distance, or in consciousness.
I’m so proud of and inspired by our growing local vedic meditation community consisting of those fairly new to the practice, some long-term transcendentalist (and all the ones in between).
Practice of 𝖵𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖢 𝖬𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖳𝖠𝖳𝖨𝖮𝖭 truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
I wish you all beautiful, joyous and blissful festive season🎄☀️. I’m already excited to see you back in 2025!

Such a beautiful reflection and explanation about vedic practice by @georgeharrisonofficial spoken many moons ago.
Very timely post for me to see, thank you @beherenowra ❣️

It took many detours in my own life to find this practice which provides me with experiencing a sustainable inner contentedness, so that I can (not only) meet the demands of life readily but also optimise my lived experience.
Whatever life is happening externally is continually changeable for all of us, yet there is this internal stability which grows to be non-changing in a meditator.
This cannot be explained to another, it has to be experienced.
𝖵𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖢 𝖬𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖳𝖠𝖳𝖨𝖮𝖭 is a reliable, systematic, efficient and effective technique to support you experience just that. The benefits?
Much greater adaptability, flexibility when interacting with the world and a greater experience of inner contentedness, happiness and peace.

Can you sense the difference in these two images?
Oftentimes in life we are so hyper and narrow focused on what is happening around us and causing us worries that what we think we are seeing becomes all consuming to our mind.
We might experience difficulty in seeing the entire picture and the whole situation.
Although photos posted here (of beautiful frangipanis, the mangrove landscape in Broome with the Indian Ocean in the distance) are beautiful, perhaps even artistic,
they are a perfect example of how our mind perceives any situation.
This is true in particular when we are faced with problems. We tend to not see the bigger picture, especially if we had carried a lot of stress in our physiology overtime which all impacts on our minds’s ability to be present and calm.
∞︎︎
𝖵𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖢 𝖬𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖳𝖠𝖳𝖨𝖮𝖭 is an excellent antidote for stress. Once our body receive much needed deeper rest from daily practice, our mind begins to relax. From that place we gain clarity and much better perspective on any given situation.
Our mind begins to naturally lean towards what is true which brings forth the right action we might need to take. Now we’ve gained clarity of greater proportion whilst enjoying more fully different aspects of life.
∞︎︎
If it all sounds to good to be true, get in touch to find out just how easy it is to learn and practice 𝖵𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖢 𝖬𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖳𝖠𝖳𝖨𝖮𝖭 and gain endless benefits for your life.

I have just returned home from teaching a course of 𝖵𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖢 𝖬𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖳𝖠𝖳𝖨𝖮𝖭 in the laidback coastal town of Yamba in the Northern Region of NSW.
I could write for hours about all the feels I feel as a teacher of this ancient techniques 💫♥️.
Briefly put:
We don’t call this incredibly simple, easy and effortless technique ‘life-changing’ for no reason.
It’s always a blessing to witness how this practice creates big shifts in a gentle way in new meditators in only a few short days.
To witness new meditators commence with regular practice of transcending technique; witnessing someone having a first few ‘real experiences’ of this natural practice and the realisations that come with it
- well, it is the ultimate gift for a teacher 🙏🏽.
Yamba town, I’ll be back !

“Life is bliss.
It is unbounded, deep within;
and it is full of boundaries outside.
So we advise the people
to turn the attention within,
experience that
unbounded wholeness of life,
and bring the mind out
fully saturated with that -
starting to live unboundedness
in the field of boundaries.”
~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi ~
As we meditate twice daily we:
~ learn to dive into the subtle layer of our consciousness and discover our true nature
~ experience deep rest
~ go beyond the activities of daily living, beyond the limitation of our own mind and beyond identity
It is so simple yet not easily accessible without a regular practice of effortlessly accessing this strata of our consciousness.
✨NOW IMAGINE how your experience of LIFE outside of meditation would change if you were to experience this regularly?✨

Teaching VEDIC MEDITATION in this place I’ve called home for 23 years makes me feel overjoyed.
To bring to my local community something as profound and supportive ~ it is a great honour and privilege which I don’t take for granted.
Having started practicing this effortless, ancient technique myself was life transforming and it completely returned me to who I truly am.
Becoming a teacher of this technique was a journey not for the faint of heart and it involved throwing into the fire (figuratively) absolutely everything outdated (it involved a whole lot more which is a story for another time).
It was imperative though ~ the 🔥 thing ~ to enable me to be available and fully present to those who are ready to open the door to deep inner contentedness and fulfilment within.
The good news:
Anyone can learn it and it requires no focus nor trying to control the mind, it’s the opposite in fact. With this technique your mind can finally simply relax and go beyond thoughts.

Twenty minutes of vedic meditation practiced twice per day will connect you back to the inner stillness. It will connect you to your inner stability, clarity, and open up creative-based thinking for the day ahead. Your mind will settle and your body will have the experience of deep relaxation.
As you begin to feel anchored this way ~ a deep sense of fulfilment and blissfulness bubbles up. You can infuse it into everything that happens outside of meditations. You’ll begin to live more from a place of ease and inner contentment instead of stress and overexertion.

It goes like this:
~ sometime in the morning &
sometime in late afternoon/early evening ~
~ twenty minutes of stillness twice per day ~
~ just like the sun, rising and setting every day ~
~ easy, effortless and natural ~
As you begin to feel anchored this way with a regular meditation practice ~ a deep sense of fulfilment and blissfulness bubbles up.
You can infuse it into everything that happens outside of meditations. You begin to live more from a place of ease and joy instead of stress and overexertion.

Our human nervous system is designed for balance.
In these busy, modern days the accumulation of stress most often throws our system out of balance.
At the same time we are built with a deep need and desire to live a happy life, therefore our mind continues to seek happiness.
We crave it, we crave homeostasis ~ balance.
By regular practice of 𝖵𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖢 𝖬𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖳𝖠𝖳𝖨𝖮𝖭 we not only enter those perfect conditions to experience contact with our 𝖨𝖭𝖭𝖤𝖱-𝖲𝖤𝖫𝖥, but also we allow our body to experience a 𝖣𝖤𝖤𝖯 𝖱𝖤𝖲𝖳; and to faster release the accumulation of stress from our physiology.
A V𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖢 𝖬𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖳𝖠𝖳𝖮𝖱 wakes up with each day with less and less stress in the body. This is because this technique can systematically release it much faster than it can possibly be re-accumulated.
As we carry less stress, and at the same time, experience these daily contacts with our inner-self, we are naturally also calmer and happier with each day.
Another ‘side effect’ of this practice is that we become less and less dependent on external circumstances, other people etc to ‘make us’ happy.
𝖧𝖠𝖯𝖯𝖨𝖭𝖤𝖲𝖲 indeed comes from within!
This might all sound a bit surreal ~ I know ~ but for those of us who practice Vedic meditation this is the reality and the world as we perceive it is revealed 𝖺𝗇𝖾𝗐

I remember clearly those early feelings of expansion ~ so new ~ yet so familiar, like a homecoming.
Having learnt 𝖵𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖢 𝖬𝖤𝖣𝖨𝖳𝖠𝖳𝖨𝖮𝖭 in-person truly is a unique, special and unforgettable experience!
I hear long-term meditators as well as my students, who are fairly new to meditation, say exactly this.
Why is it so?
In a nutshell, Vedic meditation practice delivers you to who you truly are, back to your natural state.
As we meditate the truth of your own nature is spontaneously revealed.
The practice itself is completely effortless (well, a small effort is required to actually sit down comfortably to meditate but that’s it! Just ask around!).
The whole process is simple, easy, innocent and natural, the benefits can be felt almost immediately.

Twenty minutes of vedic meditation practiced twice per day will connect you back to the inner stillness. It will connect you to your inner stability, clarity, and open up creative-based thinking for the day ahead. Your mind will settle and your body will have the experience of deep relaxation.
Twice per day, every day, just like the sun, the moon and the planets ~ rising and setting. 🌅🌄
As you begin to feel anchored this way ~ a deep sense of fulfilment and blissfulness bubbles up. You can infuse it into everything that happens outside of meditations. You’ll begin to live more from a place of ease and inner contentment instead of stress and overexertion.

Prišel je čas, da planiram obisk domov, v Slovenijo, da podelim tehniko vedske meditacije tudi na domačih tleh!
Na kratko:
Vedska meditacija je nenaporna mentalna tehnika, s katero naši pozornosti omogočimo, da na naraven in samodejen način izkusi tišje, globlje in neomejene globine zavesti. Vedska meditacija povzroči umiritev miselne aktivnosti in posledicno tudi umiritev fiziološke aktivnosti.
Rezultat je globoka mentalna in telesna sprostitev, ki postane z redno in enostavno prakso nova realnost.
Vedska meditacija na prijeten ter sistematičen način obrne našo pozornost proti tenkočutnim nivojem mišljenja, dokler um ne transcendira (gre onkraj misli, v čisto zavest💫.
Rezultat je med drugim vedno bolj stabilno notranje stanje miru in ravnovesja, povečane učinkovitosti in jasnosti razmišljanja, povečana odpornost do stresa itd. Skratka, življenje nam postane lepo, zadovoljno in lahkotno.
Učim tehniko po šankaračarja tradiciji 🇮🇳 kot mi je bilo to predano preko mojega ucitelja @thethomknoles ~ Shri 1008 Mahamandaleshwar Maharishi Vyasanand Giri Maharaj.
Za vec informacij: 🔗, email, message🔝za Uvodni / Intro 💻 pogovor.
ꨄ
It’s time for me to visit my home country to share a technique of Vedic meditation also in Slovenia!
Briefly:
Vedic meditation is an effortless, simple mental technique allowing meditator to experience a deeper, calmer and unbounded consciousness state. The effect is calmer mental activity and with that calmer physiology. One of the outcomes of vedic meditation is experience of deep mental and physical relaxation, which with regular practice becomes our new baseline. Vedic meditation in a pleasant way brings our mind beyond thought. The result is ever increasing stability of the inner peace and balance, clarity of the mind, and faster recovery when facing stressful situations. In short, life becomes much easier, more beautiful, and happier.
I teach the technique in its purity as taught by my teacher Thom Knoles ~ Shri 1008 Mahamandaleshwar Maharishi Vyasanand Giri Maharaj @thethomknoles .

“That which we seek
Is always here, 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵
And totally available
That which we long for
Is already all this
That lovingly sits
In place and watches us
Running around looking for it
We might call it Oneness
Or we may call it Aliveness
Though It is nothing like the names
We give it or the ideas
And beliefs we comfort
ourselves about it
Yet when awakening happens, it is a
Total surprise to the apparent seeker
Awakening is totally natural and
Totally ordinary, totally simple
but inherently wonderful
Far more wonderful than our
limited thinking could ever conceive
Or actually accept.
But the closest we can get with
words is that it is like
Falling in love
But With all this
A boundless freedom
That tenderly invites us
To finally undress
Out of that little confining ‘me’
And what we find waiting
is the perfect lover
One that is always present
That never leaves
Never judges
And is the generous expression
Of an unconditional love
𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧
𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨”.

As we meditate twice daily we:
~ learn to dive into the subtle layer of our consciousness
~ discover our true nature
~ go beyond the activities of daily living, beyond the limitation of our own mind and beyond identity
~ experience deep rest
~ discover this always existing state inside of us, referred to it as transcendental field or ‘Being’, pure consciousness ♾️
Oftentimes vedic meditators, new to this practice, ask - to check their own experience:
“Was what I just experienced in my meditation, transcendence?”
And equally, oftentimes they would describe their experience as:
very relaxing
tranquil’
dreamy
calm
content
blissful
restful
somewhat familiar
yet not experienced often prior to beginning to meditate.
It is ~ all the above and beyond ~ it’s a 𝘉𝘓𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘍𝘜𝘓 state, and it’s available to all of us, at all times.
𝘕𝘖𝘞 𝘐𝘔𝘈𝘎𝘐𝘕𝘌 having a regular experience of 𝘉𝘓𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘍𝘜𝘓𝘕𝘌𝘚𝘚 ✨.

I’m very excited to introduce Dr Mark Spencer as our August guest in our group meditation session.
Dr Mark Spencer is a Dental Surgeon who learnt to meditate in 1981. He has also written a book rich with vedic knowledge combined with his passion for the deep sea ocean diving and photography.
I have personally met Mark in his dental office many moons ago. I was naturally curious about Mark’s secret to a calm, steady and friendly demeanour. He has also over time unknowingly greatly inspired me through our conversations about exploration of the consciousness which he was writing about at the time.
I’m happy that Mark has accepted my invite to our group meditation this months.
There will be an opportunity for a Q & A to hear his meditation experience including the benefits of long term meditation practice, his book “Ocean of Self” and what has inspired him to share himself with the world.
This in-person event only is open to all vedic and transcendental meditators who have learnt to meditate with a qualified teacher.

ꨄ Meditation is making research into yourself
and into the subtler fields of activity.
Day after day we culture our minds
with 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝖽𝖾𝖾𝗉 𝗌𝗂𝗅𝖾𝗇𝖼𝖾
of our own Being.
This is not the silence of a stone,
but creative silence.
We have to find it for ourselves.
We decrease activity
until silence becomes creative,
and we sit in creative silence
and close the gates of perception
for insight into the content of life. ꨄ
~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi ~
•
Creative silence is found in our least excited mental state.
All we need is a sustainable practice designed for people like us who are living in these busy, modern times.
The technique of Vedic Meditation, although ancient in its origins, is perfectly designed for us, to reveal to us our inner consciousness state.
Book an INTRO to learn how to learn it 🙏🏽🕉️.

“A small wave on the surface of the ocean
would not be a very powerful wave,
but the same wave becomes powerful
when it connects with deeper levels of water.
~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi ~
ꨄ
By practicing Vedic meditation you will become skilled in an effortless dive beneath the stress and busyness, often dominating the surface-layer of our minds in this modern day living.
By learning to effortlessly dive below the surface, just as we would dive below the ocean waves, we find unbounded stillness and calm. Everything becomes crystal clear.
Learning to effortlessly dive to this place is an essential skill to also become skilful in navigating our lives, in our ever~changing modern world, and doing so with more ease.

Vedic Meditation is a simple, effortless mental technique originating from ancient India.
Unlike other meditation styles, it requires no focus, no concentration. You don’t push away thoughts or follow the breath. Instead, the mind naturally settles inward, moving beyond thinking into the field of Being — the unbounded layer of consciousness within you. ♾️
The beauty of Vedic Meditation is in its simplicity and natural effects:
• Mind and body relax automatically 🪷
• Stress is released at a physiological level 🌸
• Awareness expands effortlessly, giving clarity, calm, and contentment 💫
With correct in-person instruction, anyone can learn it — and once learned, it becomes a daily practice with endless benefits.
✨ Step into your most natural state of awareness.

We sit easily and comfortably.
We close our eyes.
We let the mind be easy—no effort, no concentration needed.
We dive within.
We step beyond individuality.
We allow nature to guide us—twice per day, for twenty minutes.
We do less, yet accomplish more.
We become shaped by stillness as we return to life.
ꨄ
✨ Good questions to ask ourselves:
~ To what degree am I able to surrender to nature’s intelligence, moving with life’s natural progression—without clinging to what’s outdated?
~ Am I postponing feeling truly content and happy in this life?
~ Can I choose to show up to life differently?

By nature, as human beings, we are perfectly designed to step beyond the thinking mind — in other words, to transcend. ✨
Our most natural state is not endless thinking or doing, but resting in the field of Being — the silence, contentedness, and expansion within us. 🌿 Yet in daily life, we often lose touch with this vast inner space… and the result can be anxiety, restlessness, or disconnection.
🪷 The mind naturally seeks greater happiness. Going beyond thought is one of the most powerful antidotes to modern stress — and this is exactly what Vedic Meditation makes possible.
Vedic Meditation is a simple, effortless technique. With the right in-person instruction, anyone can learn it and enjoy the endless benefits it brings into daily life.

In Vedic Meditation, a very specific class of mantras are used, called Bīja mantras (from Sanskrit: Bīja = “seed,” mantra = “mind vehicle”).
The Bīja mantra is a sound vibration that “seeds” the process of the mind settling—moving from the surface level of awareness into more subtle layers. As the mantra becomes fainter and dissolves, the meditator naturally transcends thought, resting in pure stillness and silence.
This technique of meditating ,leads to deep release of stress, and twice-daily access to the unbounded field of bliss within—where the mind is most charmed to go.
Over time, as effortless practice is easily established, we begin to notice profound shifts outside of meditation too, as we start to master letting go in our daily life.

For the love of flowers 💐✨
Stepping into my path as a Vedic Meditation Teacher feels like stepping into a life surrounded by flowers — and for anyone who knows me deeply, it’s the sweetest dream come true 🌺🌷🪷
In the Vedic tradition, flowers are more than just beautiful… they’re part of every meditator’s beginning. On your first day, you bring fresh flowers you find beautiful — a simple, symbolic gift 🌸
And just like flowers, meditation itself is a gift. A gift of stillness, clarity, and grounded joy. Every time we meditate, the mind softens, the heart settles, and life feels a little brighter from within ✨
If you’re ready to gift yourself this practice, I’d love to share it with you 💛.

I am excited to step on a journey as a Vedic Meditation Teacher after years of dedicated practice and study, including having lived in the Himalayas for the past three months 🇮🇳.
I’ve had a great good fortune to study under the tutelage of my remarkable Master Teacher Thom Knoles, also known by his Vedic honorary title Shri 1008 Mahamandaleshwar Maharishi Vyasanand Giri Maharaj (as of 12 Jan 2025, prior: Maharishi Vyasananda Saraswati)
My teacher connects me to the lineage of teachers and tradition, the first non-Indian to be honoured with the highest title, pre-eminent Master of Vedic knowledge and tradition.
Immense gratitude to our course leaders and assistants: Christian Bevacqua, Stef Colman, Jamey Hood, Hardy Weaver, Hayley Shepherd and Dr Lana Loxton.
We were a group of seventeen (now colleagues and a family🤍, as seen in the photo⬆️), diligently practicing for countless hours while absorbing extensive Vedic knowledge, including the science behind the effectiveness of this simple yet profoundly impactful technique. And ultimately, how to teach it in its purity.
Having worked in a professional frontline field in trauma relief for my entire career of twenty five years I couldn’t be happier to make Vedic Meditation teaching a priority. I want others to have what I gained since learning it ~ ever increased internal calm and happiness, independent of external circumstances.
One might ask what 𝘝𝘌𝘋𝘐𝘊 𝘔𝘌𝘋𝘐𝘛𝘈𝘛𝘐𝘖𝘕 is and what separates it from other meditation techniques?
Briefly:
Vedic meditation is an ancient, simple and effortless technique which has stood the test of time. It is an excellent antidote for stress. Once our bodies receive much needed deeper rest from daily practice, our minds begin to remember what truly matters. The mind begins to naturally lean towards that which supports a fulfilling life. Vedic meditation does not involve focusing nor contemplation.
I cannot emphasise enough: we all deserve to be happy and peaceful in this life🤍!
Meditation is the way in ~ to the deepest, most subtle, widest layer of our own consciousness & beyond, to the unbounded field of pure consciousness ♾️.
