This technique of meditation originated in India over 5,000 years ago and has been passed on through an unbroken line of teachers from that time.

This meditation technique is specifically designed for “householders” – those fully engaged in life, rather than those interested in a reclusive or monastic lifestyle.

This householder meditation is sometimes called the Vedic Meditation Technique and originates from the same knowledge and philosophy  as Ayurvedic health, yoga and art of living practices.

What is Ayurveda? From the Sanskrit ayus, “long life,” and Veda, “true or sacred knowledge,” Ayurveda is an ancient holistic system of medicine practiced for over 5,000 years in India. 

Ayurveda defines disease as the natural end result of living out of harmony with our constitution.

Because each person has a different balance of energy, Ayurveda shows that the path to optimal health is different for each person, and that we may bring our being into balance—mind, body, spirit, emotion and senses—by balancing our doshas, the three dynamic forces which act as the governing principles of life within each of us. When these three forces are brought into balance, the body can begin to operate as nature intended—as a self-healing, self-regulating expression of a perfect universe.

Although originating in India this is not exclusively “Indian” knowledge. The technique is universal in its nature, practised by and benefiting people all over the world, regardless of their society, profession, age, religion or belief system.
