The Scent of Silence
A C O U R S E I N V E D I C M E D I T A T I O N
Inevitably, either through crisis, illness or sometimes quietly, when the substance of our lives no longer satisfies. Feeling constantly tired , wired, out of right relationship with ourselves and the life that’s waiting patiently to be fully lived. We feel a call, a summoning from somewhere deep inside , a signal that calls from beneath the surface of our everyday distractions. Something that promises us a source of deep rest and inner peace.
Vedic Meditation meets us at this threshold with a simple, ancient offering, one that does not require a change of lifestyle, belief, or identity, but instead offers us a reliable passage inward, a way of returning to a part of ourselves that knows how to carry us, heal us , redirect us. This practice doesn’t offer us a permanent retreat, but a way of re-inhabiting life from a more capable, generous and heart-centred place.
The phrase The Scent of Silence speaks to this turning. It evokes something that cannot be grasped by will or effort, yet becomes unmistakable with familiarity. This silence carries a subtle trace of home, of coherence, of a life lived from within rather than pursued from without.
Over the course of this offering, we will learn how to practice this simple and natural technique. Explore its foundational principles and the transformations it initiates. And once the practice is well established , we can begin to follow the quiet intelligence of the process as it begins to infuse perception, decision-making, energy, and relationships. You will learn to meditate with ease, without force or strain, and to let the practice weave itself into the fabric of your days.
“This is an invitation into a kind of steadiness, a steadiness not dependent on circumstances, but born of a deeper contact with ourselves . A life lived in alignment with silence does not withdraw from the world. It enters it more fully, with clarity, receptivity, and care.”
