AN INTRODUCTION TO VEDIC MEDITATION

An invitation to explore how by redirecting our attention away from what confines us, distracts us and keeps us held at a distance from what is important, vital and relevant to our own lives. A profound shift in awareness and perspective can arise. Vedic Meditation is a transformative process where individuals move from their habitual ways of thinking, perceiving and behaving to a calm state of a quiet and deeply restorative stillness. The deep rest we reach in this process encourages us to release deep patterns of stress and fatigue and let go of old mental models and beliefs about ourselves and the world. So we can subsequently redeploy our awareness towards innovative solutions and approaches. Realigning ourselves with our own nature’s creative intelligence. A resource that helps us envision a future that aligns with our deepest values and aspirations. Curating pivotal moments of change and adaptation in our personal and relational and vocational development.

AN INTRODUCTION TO VEDIC MEDITATION

“Reclaiming that silent source of support that nests inside each and every one of us. Always welcoming always anticipating what we need. Because it knows, it knows how we are, where we are. And endeavours to show us what is possible, relevant, beautiful and true about you, about us. We simply have to remember how to be still enough, quiet enough for it’s signal, it’s scent, it’s warmth to reach you”

“Though intimacy we not only embrace the individual heart.But also the heartbeat of the world. Feeling the rhythm of existence in every conversation and every connection “

In this free informal session we will explore how Vedic Meditation can help us remove the obstacles and sources of resistance that keep us remote and at a distance from the immediacy and intensity of our living experience. By dismantling beliefs , perceptions and patterns of behaviour That reinforce a sense of fear , inadequacy and lack that prevent us from feeling at home in our own skin and inhabiting our lives with ease and sense of unique possibilities.

AN INTRODUCTION TO VEDIC MEDITATION

“Concerning all beginnings, there is an elementary truth that the moment you definitely commit yourself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events which you could never have conceived of in advance begin to unfold. Whatever life inspires is what the heart desires. Simply to redirect you, inspire you with the greatest of invitations, the ability to change”

AN INTRODUCTION TO VEDIC MEDITATION

In this informal session we will discuss and explore how just beyond our own personal horizon, beneath surface appearances, we can recover a silent inner source of insight, inspiration and raw creative power. That most of us , in one way or another shy away from, because we’ve been told it isn’t safe. Or no ‘good’ will come from it. So we go to great lengths to stifle and suppress the unwrapping of this unconditional gift.

One that we can wear in all weathers, in every kind of company. That is a source of warmth and deep connectedness. So we never feel out of sorts, out of place , out in the cold anymore. But fully welcome, supported, and tailored for every invitation that life delivers to us.

“Whatever you can do , or dream, you can begin. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it “

GOETHE

For this first group session of the year I’ve chosen the theme of new beginnings. Typically at this time of year there is a great deal of ‘soul searching’ list making and decrees that ‘ this year will be the year that….” Yet as we all know , by January’s end so many of those promises we’ve made to ourselves lay spent broken and defeated. In this session we will discuss….

So what is the difference between an Intention and a Resolution?

How do we set them in motion?

How do we manage the inevitable fluctuations in energy and commitment?

How do we learn to work with a future that is continuously emerging?

In this informal session we will explore how in fact every moment is a threshold. An opportunity, an invitation and often a challenge to step into a fresh conversation with ourselves and the world. The courage to drop the shape of what may have become a confining identity, a limited view into what’s possible for you and your life. By learning how to turn inwards, redirect your attention and move towards a more fundamental and supportive state , like an embrace, that enables you to let go of anything that robs us of our awareness, our creative energies, our vitality, and an ongoing sense of the possible. Something that’s always in the room that has been waiting to emerge, waiting to be born. A promise of new life.

“There is a nativity happening in every moment. Every morning when you wake, between each breath, thought and gesture. Announcing the start and fall of every season, every story, every relationship. It is the welcoming of something that’s ripe, about to be born. A ritual for emergence. For something that’s been proving, changing into life like a swelling presence. A new light, a new voice, a new invitation. A threshold moment, at which and from which there is no returning. A point of convergence, the site of arrival, the trigger for a radical transformation. Into something we could never guess the weight of, anticipate the generosity of and how it would radically change us”

ANDRÉS

“There is in all visible things an invisible depth, a dimmed light, a meek namelessness, a hidden wholeness. This mysterious Unity and Integrity is Wisdom, the Mother of all. There is in all things an inexhaustible sweetness and purity, a silence that is a fountain of action and of joy. It rises up in wordless gentleness and flows out to me from the unseen roots of all created being...” Thomas Merton

In this immersive session we will explore and reflect on the division that we may experience throughout our lives. And how this pervasive sense of lack can motivate conflicted and unsustainable behaviours. This ancient practice offers a way to integrate our inner and outer selves. By embracing an experience of wholeness, witnessing our inner lives, and cultivating genuine connections, we can move toward living an undivided life of authenticity and purpose.

AN INTRODUCTION TO VEDIC MEDITATION

“In this immersive session we will explore how Vedic Meditation is a catalyst for a profound internal event. The dissolution of all our external boundaries. Our assumptions, perceptions, beliefs, fears and false causes that shape a singular controlling identity. What is then revealed beyond surface appearance is a deeper sense of what you really are. What you could become and how it’s already being shaped for purpose. It awakens the process of knowing what your relationship with life actually is. And that every felt moment of experience is an invitation, a challenge , a burden or an opportunity depending on how you welcome it. Understanding this brings us closer to how all of life displays it’s intentions , it’s playful motivations , it’s endless capacity for innovation and transformation through you and everything you think , feel, say, make and do”

AN INTRODUCTION TO VEDIC MEDITATION

“These moments of stillness are a place where we can feel held again, feel supported again, like a silent embrace that offers us peace and stability. That promotes a radical act of self care and a powerful declaration of self acceptance. Releasing us from the binds of our biography, of all that limits and confines us. Relieving us of all that we can no longer serve and carry. It also invites something to emerge, to grow and find purchase and shape new expression in our lives. Something that’s been dormant deep inside. A seed of a motive that promises a fresh perspective on how to live. New insights on how to love, how to finally recover that exceptional voice. And learn to wear that unique face that’s gifted to you and none other”

AN INTRODUCTION TO VEDIC MEDITATION

In this immersive session we will explore the ways we often lack the clarity, the timing and the patience to wait for a true ripening of our gifts, our endeavours , instead of moving on to new pursuits, relationships and beliefs before the one for which we have invested in and cared for has had time to flower or fruit. When we do this, we deprive ourselves of the deep celebration of harvest, one of the great experiences of a human life. To share of something born within. That is tended and nourished until the the season has turned and something rich, sweet and full of promise can burst forth into the light into our lives.

Vedic Meditation is a powerful yet tender way of putting us back into right relationship with the rhythms, cycles and seasons of life.

AN INTRODUCTION TO VEDIC MEDITATION

Vedic Meditation reveals the truth, depth and immediacy of lived experience to be simply you, me, all this, right here. A hidden wholeness that’s been hiding in plain sight. Yet it’s the closest and most intimate embrace we can know. It is the presence beyond and between thoughts. Yet it is fully present in and as every living moment. So what we truly seek is actually always within our grasp. It has simply been kept at what seems like an impossible distance, veiled and hidden from view. In this immersive session we will explore how this simple, beautiful practice is in fact a ritual. One that tenderly invites and draws back together all that has been lost, forgotten or even forsaken. So that all of our disperate elements can once again reunite, heal together and grow together.

AN INTRODUCTION TO VEDIC MEDITATION

If you are curious about how learning to pause. How by inviting moments of calm and self reflection into our day can give us the permission and the courage to step away from sources of distress. And help us redirect our attention beyond what’s currently baiting us, distracting us, coercing us. Bringing about about relief from our restlessness, satisfying our needless wanting and converting our continuous dissatisfaction into appreciation, which is a depth of awareness and a richness of interest in embracing and exploring what our lives are already showing us and continuously gifting us.

I invite you to sign up to one of my free introductory sessions. No previous experience required. Simply bring your curiosity and a willingness to learn something new, something sobering, something beautiful and true about you and your life.

So we can embrace the source and substance of our mind and body that is revealed to be an ever present field of living intelligence. An inner cradle where we might settle and find a true sense of place. One that gifts us a balance, stability and grace to then cross the ever changing surface of our lives.
