We teach Vedic Meditation

True happiness lies within. A bigger home, a faster car, a vacation or a new partner may give one's life a boost for a moment, but none of them can begin to make us happy, not for long. Meditators learn that happiness will not be arriving on the back of the next acquisition or romantic encounter.

Meditation unlocks the door to a place of bliss, to that place inside each of us where there is a well of peace, joy and love.

Meditation, or contact with this inner state of bliss, helps us:

• Lower stress
• Increase adaptation energy
• Enhance creativity
• Improve daily performance
• Meet life's demands with equanimity and grace
• Additionally, meditation helps us to be an influence for good-in our own lives, at home, at work and in the community at large.

Vedic* Meditation has been taught in its purity through an unbroken, master-disciple lineage from ancient India to the present day. The benefits of this practice have been studied and verified by the world's leading universities and research institutes.

Today, men and women are embracing this simple form of meditation, not only as a personal tool that eliminates debilitating stress, but also as a longed-for and profound spiritual practice.

Thom Knoles and Will Dalton teach Vedic* meditation, one of the oldest, most effortless and natural forms of meditation. The basic technique is practiced for 15-20 minutes in the morning and evening while sitting comfortably in a chair with the eyes closed. Using this technique, the individual's awareness settles down and he or she experiences a unique state of restful alertness.

It is through revisiting this state of restful alertness that meditators report experiencing increased happiness, creativity, memory and health.

Having been taught for thousands of years in its purity through an unbroken, master-disciple lineage from ancient India, the benefits of Vedic meditation consistently have been verified by the world's leading scientific research institutions, and meditation is now regarded by Americans from all walks of life, not only as a profound spiritual practice, but a personal tool that eliminates debilitating stress.

*The Veda is the ancient record of spiritual experience that is the source of the arts and sciences of Ayurvedic medicine, yoga, meditation, and the whole of Indian philosophy. Knowledge of the Veda is said to confer mastery of all the laws of nature, because the Veda is structured as universal knowledge available within everyone’s consciousness—it is the blueprint of creation.
