What Is Vedic Meditation?

Vedic Meditation, is a self-sufficient practise, a deeply profound meditation experience. It allows the mind to rest peacefully beyond all thought, all distractions arriving at a state a pure surrender and blissfulness. A cumulative experience that has life-long benefits. It brings an immediate joy – improving your health, immune system and energy levels without the use of apps or external devices. A practice that you can action anytime and anywhere.

This simple, natural and effortless technique allows the mind to move from that very busy, active level of the mind, the habitual mind that is constantly thinking, planning and worrying… to that deeper, inner quiet, subtle, blissful state of the mind, the silent creative centre within. Helping to eliminate stress, tension and fatigue in the system at a greater rate than we are accumulating.

How do we achieve this? We simply introduce a mantra, that is specifically suited to the individual, and correctly instruct you in how to use it. Mantra meaning ‘Manas’ – Mind, ‘Tra’ – Vehicle. It is a vehicle that allows the mind to reach a state of expanded peace, beyond all thought, all distractions to arrive at its purest state. The mantra has no specific meaning but is a sound that has a certain vibration which is charming and sweet to the mind. This allows the mind to flow effortlessly within, settling easily into a state of peace, stillness and restfulness. With the use of the mantra, the conscious mind has the experience of the subtle strata of a thought, eventually arriving at the direct experience of the subtlest state of the thought and then arriving at the very source of thought, the field of BEING. This experience we refer to as the transcendent, PURE consciousness, BLISS consciousness or simply BEING state!

‘A powerful meditation technique to help manage and release stress, tension and fatigue out of the body’.

Vedic Meditation is the basis of an integrated life, a means of bringing into harmony the inner creative silence and the outer activity of life. To restore joy and peace within oneself. We locate our Inner sanctuary. Our life becomes more comprehensive, more powerful, more useful; our aspirations also increase, and we become more creative and fulfilled.

Vedic Meditation purifies the nervous system. helping the body to off load deep rooted stress that has accumulated over a period of time, often a life-time. Chronic stress has been linked to heart disease, insomnia, digestive issues, migraines, depression, obesity, poor memory, sexual dysfunction, infertility, body aches and pains, skin conditions and lowered immune system. The body off loads the stress, once the mind becomes quiet. How do you ask the mind to fall quiet, it’s not something you can direct it to do but enable it to move in the direction of quietness through the use of a mantra.

‘We forget to simply BE – to be still, to be our happy selves’

The meditation technique is practiced 20 minutes, twice a day – once in the morning to prepare you for the day and again in the evening to eliminate the accumulated stress and tension of the day. You sit comfortable with the eyes closed. It can be done any- where; in the office, on the lounge, on a bus or train on your way to work or school, down at the beach, sitting up in bed, in the car whilst waiting to pick-up the kids from school or wherever you see fit. This is an individual practice. Anyone can learn, 5-year-olds to 85+ can practice this technique with ease.

The Origins

Vedic meditation is an ancient form of meditation, originating in India over several thousand years ago from extensive research and investigation into the inner workings of the mind and body.
The word VEDIC comes from the, SANSKRIT word VEDA, or knowledge. The VEDAS are an ancient body of wisdom, the source from which yoga, meditation and Ayurveda medicine are derived.

This technique of meditation is passed down through an unbroken line of teachers, maintaining the integrity of the tradition.

Although its origins is from India, this technique is universal in its nature and practised by people all over the world, regardless of their society, profession, age, religion or belief system.

“ Life is infused with
consciousness of pure BEING ”

Kind Words

“Carma’s nurturing persona and style of teaching really resonated with me. Her pure approach enabled me to adapt an experience unique to me which is why I think it had such a strong impact. She provided the guidance I needed without over complicating or convoluting the process. It has provided me with such a valuable life tool that has truly enriched my life. My ability to cope with the stress of day to day life has been one of the biggest changes I’ve noticed.”

“I like getting my special word. It helps me relax.”

“Thank you for leading and guiding me with my meditation practice. The last two weeks have been wonderful for me and I feel re-connected. It has become part of my day and I always look forward to it. I am sure it will continue to be an essential part of my life. As an aside... My Haematologist wants to hold off chemotherapy and aggressive treatment. Some encouraging news. I’m resting up (can you believe that?). I’m grateful for your support and concern.”

“Learning how to meditate has saved my life! When I booked into the mediation course, based on my son’s experience, I was somebody who hardly slept and whose brain never stopped thinking. I had an opinion towards meditation of “I don’t have time for this OM stuff”. My personal and business life just had turned upside down and the clarity I always had disappeared in an instance. I was lost. After learning to meditate with Carma, I started to, for the first time in my life, relax my body and more importantly my mind! Thank You Carma! Jai Guru Deva"

"Thank you for all you have given me. You have not just helped me to see my light, you have helped me to feel it. You are right, it is with this feeling of stillness where life, love and trust blooms. You have been my biggest blessing this year, and I have a lot of gratitude in my heart"

“If you had told me a week ago I would be able to quieten my thoughts I would have never believed you...I have always struggled with worrying about the past and future with doing so not allowing myself to be truly present. This practice has opened my eyes and given me clarity on so much already.”

“I have tried other forms of meditation but found them difficult to practice. Until Carma taught me her technique, I’d never truly experienced such a deep state of blissful calm. Her patient instruction made it so easy to learn, so rewarding – my two teenage children have since learnt too. Meditation has helped me gain clarity, focus and insight; confidence within myself; the poise and equilibrium needed to face the daily challenges of family life and the enthusiasm and energy for a career change!.”

“The gift of meditation has allowed me to relieve stress anywhere and anytime I want. Before I knew how to meditate I had trouble falling asleep, now I am able to fall asleep in minutes. Learning to meditate was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”

“Wonderful experience... Carma is a warm loving person, I have done other forms of meditation, this one, is simple and succinct – a form of meditation that can be accessed anywhere, I often meditate on the bus – arriving at my destination, calm and focused ready to start the day.”

“Probably my biggest regret in life is that I didn’t learn to meditate earlier, it has had such a profound effect on my life.”

“I have not only learnt how to calm my overactive mind, but have also gained a mentor who is always there to give guidance and understanding. Carma is an amazing human being.”
