Vedic meditation is an effortless transcending technique. It allows the mind to naturally settle into deeper levels of awareness where greater levels of wakefulness can be experienced. Compared to other styles of meditation that often focus on concentration or mental control, Vedic meditation is simple and easy, making it accessible to everyone. It's important to note that Vedic meditation is always taught in person by a qualified teacher, who performs a traditional ceremony of gratitude in the first session before providing you with your personal mantra.

No! There is no control of the mind, breath or body, clearing all thoughts, or trying to achieve a state of perfect stillness and silence. In fact, having thoughts during the practice is completely normal and actually a sign that you are meditating correctly! In Vedic meditation, the body naturally and spontaneously relaxes and becomes still on its own, without any force, control or effort.

In Vedic meditation, thoughts are an integral part of the process. There is no need to quiet the mind or concentrate on a single point. During the 4-session course, you will discover that you can meditate effortlessly and gain a deeper understanding of what meditation truly is. It’s likely that you will notice an improvement in your attention span as you reduce stress and calm the overactivity and agitation within the nervous system. This leads to greater calmness and clarity, allowing you to focus better on your daily tasks.

The word mantra originates from the Sanskrit language. 'Manas' means mind and 'tra' means vehicle. In Vedic meditation, when the mind is given a mantra and taught how to use it in a specific way, it is able to be drawn spontaneously inwards to deeper, more restful states. The mantra that you receive is a simple sound with no intended meaning. It is carefully chosen to ensure an easy and effortless meditation experience. Being given a personal mantra along with proper instruction in Vedic meditation enhances your experience and helps you deepen and advance your practice over time.

Our course investment is not simply for the four days of learning Vedic Meditation. It supports an ongoing relationship with your teacher and a lifetime of opportunities to practise, deepen and receive support as your meditation becomes a natural part of your life.

The work of a teacher continues long after a course ends, through ongoing guidance, community meditations, checking sessions, teachings and the continued sharing of knowledge. Our course investment recognises and sustains this lifelong work, while we also recognise that people come to this teaching with different circumstances and levels of financial access.

The one time investment covers the four-session in-person course, with an optional private fifth-session follow-up, plus the opportunity to revisit the course free of charge with Victoria or an affiliated Vedic Meditation teacher anywhere in the world. You’ll also have access to weekly online group meditations and wisdom sessions through the Mahasoma community, complimentary private check-ins whenever you need support with your technique, and two years of emails to support and inspire your journey. Most importantly, you have a Vedic Meditation teacher for life.

I am based in Melbourne, Australia and can travel to teach in both India and the Philippines. Vedic meditation is only ever taught in-person, over 4 consecutive days. I am currently teaching in Derrimut, Melbourne. If you would like me to come and teach in your area, on a retreat, at your work/organisation, or have a small group of people who would like to learn Vedic meditation, I'm more than happy to facilitate courses in different locations nationally and internationally.
