What is Vedic Meditation?


The Veda, meaning 'knowledge,' is an ancient body of wisdom that originated in India over 10,000 years ago. It has given us transformative practices such as yoga, Ayurveda, and Vedic meditation.

Vedic meditation is an effortless technique that facilitates settling of the mind and body, leading to deep rest and lowering of stress. Using a personalised mantra, it supports the body's natural capacity to relax, process & repair. This happens without exertion or controlling thoughts.

Who’s It For?


Vedic meditation is a practice that anyone can do. The technique was designed for householders aka busy people, people just like you with busy lives and busy minds. Vedic meditation is practiced 20 minutes twice a day for maximum results.

By the end of the course you will be completely self-sufficient and confident in your practice - no need to rely on apps or ever do another meditation course! 

What are the benefits?


A daily practice of meditation produces the wonderful benefits of:

✓ Reduced stress, anxiety and fatigue
✓ Better sleep and more energy
✓ Improved mental clarity, focus and memory
✓ Improved creativity, resilience and decision making
✓ Less reactivity to life’s demands and stressors
✓ Activate the healing power of your body
✓ Better relationships with others and yourself

How is it different from other types of meditation?

Other types of meditation generally involve concentration (focusing the mind) or contemplation (thinking about the meaning of something) - both of which engage the mind and keep it active.

Vedic meditation is a completely effortless transcending style of meditation. We use a personalised mantra to de-excite the mind and step beyond thoughts naturally, without using any effort or attempting to control thoughts.

  • Vedic means from the Veda and Veda simply means knowledge. The Veda is the body of knowledge that came from ancient India. It’s not Hinduism, it predates all religions. It’s a 10,000-year-old body of knowledge that gave us yoga, it gave us the practice of Vedic meditation, as well as Ayurveda - which translates to the science of life - a system of holistic medicine. These are all different branches of the Veda. 

  • Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was a revered spiritual teacher from the Shankaracharya lineage in India. Caroline’s teacher, Thom Knoles, was trained as a teacher of Transcendental Meditation (“TM”) by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and taught it for over 25 years with organisations affiliated with Maharishi. Since 1997, Thom has continued to teach meditation as he learned it from Maharishi, and has done so independently and separately from the TM organisations. 

    Thom Knoles trained Caroline to teach meditation in the same way that Maharishi trained him to teach meditation. Caroline teaches Vedic meditation and is not affiliated with the TM organisations or their current services, processes or programs. However if you have learned Transcendental Meditation you are welcome to speak to Caroline about joining her regular Group Meditations.

  • The form of meditation that Thom Knoles* taught for over 25 years with the TM organisations as “Transcendental Meditation,” has been the subject of hundreds of scientific studies showing a wide range of benefits from regular practice. These studies, which refer to this form of meditation using the name “Transcendental Meditation” or “TM”, support the benefits obtainable from regular practice of Vedic Meditation. 

    These benefits include:

    Reduced stress and anxiety
    Decreased depression
    Increased levels of energy
    Increased longevity
    Reduced insomnia
    Improved relationships with other people
    Improved, memory, concentration and learning ability
