Frequently Asked Questions

Almost everyone who comes to learn this technique has little or no consistent or sustained practice. The course is designed to both teach you the technique but also to support you into a consistent practice of meditation. You’re integrating the practice during the course, so you’ve already started to create a routine & are starting to feel the benefits byt the time the course ends, which sets you off with momentum for sustained home practice. You’ll learn how to meditate with noise, distractions, children & interruptions which means you’re more likely to be able to do it in the home environment. We’ll spend quite some time on the course discussing how to integrate it & make time for meditation in daily life. So really, it’s the course itself which makes you ready for a consistent practice & Georgia provides ongoing suppport and opportunities to refresh or reinspire your practice (for free) should you find you become inconsistent at any point. Many students report that they’ve been inconsistent with other styles but they find Vedic meditation is different - both easier to practice & easier to integrate, they enjoy the beenfits and so want to keep going with it.

In this meditation practice you sit easily in an upright position with back support (leaning up against your bed, sofa, or anywhere you can lean against something). You’ll close your eyes & think a particular 'mantra' (a ‘mind taxi’, or sound) quietly on the inside - no external chanting or yogi-like flexibility required. The practice is based on being as effortless and natural as possible. Most people will assume you're taking a short nap. This meditation practice is so simple and easy it can be practiced anywhere, by anyone.

Yes absolutely. Georgia teaches busy minds to meditate every week. Vedic Meditation works differently to almost every other style of meditation, requires no concentration or focus. The mantras used in the practice are impulses of sound which cause the mind to go inward, so it’s not a skill-based proposition, the mantra meditates you, effectively. This means it’s not dependent on how ‘zen’ you are, how much stress you have, your success or lack thereof with other styles of meditation or how monkey your mind is.

Most meditators report feeling a difference almost immediately - from a greater sense of calm, increased energy and focus to better sleep and less reactivity with their partner/children or the traffic for example. Often friends and family are the first to notice and comment on the change.

Other techniques of meditation are either based upon concentration (focusing the mind on the voice of a guided meditation, visualisation, the breath or a mantra/chant for example) or are contemplative (bringing the attention to an idea such as a positive statement), which calm the mind to an extent, but the mind is still engaged. Vedic meditation is completely effortless and uses a particular type of 'mantra' (an impulse of sound, literally a ‘mind taxi’) which when thought in a particular way allows the mind to step beyond, or transcend, the active layer of the mind. This provides both mind and body with an extremely deep state of rest, deeper than sleep, inducing stress release at an accelerated rate. This is why Vedic meditators report it's so easy to practice, and is even enjoyable, and experience such profound change in their lives as a result.

Vedic Meditation is so simple and natural that by the end of the course you will be able to meditate with ease on your own, without any need for further instruction or to attend a meditation class ever again. Georgia is an expert at teaching people to meditate, having successfully taught Vedic Meditation to over 1000 people (most of whom were complete beginners).

There are two parts to the recipe of successful meditation which Vedic Meditation provides: the right technique which can provide immediate and proven benefits, and an expert teacher who can guide you to self-sufficiency and correct practice of the technique. The thousands of meditators who currently practice Vedic Meditation report that their experience is vastly different - both deeper, and much easier - to that of any app or meditation practice they had previously tried, and that they experience profound and tangible benefits in their daily life as a result, which is why they have been able to stick to and implemented the practice into their life. If an app is doing this for you, then great, if not - then come and learn to meditate with an expertly trained teacher.
