What is Vedic Meditation?
Vedic Meditation is a simple, natural meditation technique designed to deeply rest the body and effortlessly expand the conscious mind. The purity of the teaching of this technique has been maintained through an unbroken master-disciple lineage dating back some 5,000 years. It is one intended for 'householders' -- those of us who are actively engaged in the world, enjoying possessions and social relationships. Vedic Meditation involves sitting comfortably for about 20 minutes with the eyes closed, both morning and evening. During that time, the mind is naturally led within and allowed to de-excite, creating a unique state of restful alertness. Other meditation techniques involve some form of concentration, contemplation, or visualization, in an effort to manipulate the mind. Vedic Meditation is ground-breaking in its approach to coincide with the natural tendencies of the mind and body. |
