A three-day weekend ‘rounding’ retreat is the equivalent of six months morning and evening meditation. Rounding in a retreat setting will leave you refreshed and rejuvenated for months to come with greater clarity and energy for daily life.

It was such a wonderful experience learning from Angela. She has a real passion and dedication for the process. Her gentleness and generosity of spirit was inspirational and has led to a transformative experience. It has only been a short time that I have been practising, but to my surprise, people (including my 13 year old daughter) are already noticing a difference ! Don’t miss this !

Angela has been a terrific addition to my life. I live a fast paced life with a family of 4 kids, constantly on the go, combined with an intense but rewarding career. Since starting to meditate, I feel my energy levels and ability to contend with the intensity has improved immensely. I am capable of multitasking my personal, family, social and professional life more successfully. I feel I accomplish more during a day and life is more satisfying. Thank you Angela and meditation!

Meditation has always been challenging for my very active mind. Vedic Meditation is different. I have had success for the first time in my life. Angela is a very gifted teacher. She was able to teach us the foundation of the principles in just 6 hours. My whole family took her class and everyone is benefiting. We are so grateful !

Dana

Health Coach

Through Vedic Meditation, I have developed a regular meditation practice. It allows me to feel calmer and more focused especially during long and challenging days at work. I have a greater level of resilience which I need for my busy lifestyle. Mostly it has helped me to gain better insight into myself and to have more compassion for myself and others.

Angela’s teaching gave me a better understanding and control of my emotions.

Angela’s soothing personality is perfect for this course. Vedic meditation has helped me to maintain a positive attitude when dealing with stress. I find myself feeling much less irritable when I practise consistently.

Years ago I saw the positive effect Vedic Meditation had on my brother, it has now changed my life also. As a professional musician constantly travelling, it has not only been my daily source of stability but a cherished part of my day. Vedic Meditation has taught me to be more present, and not let my busy thinking mind control my behaviour. I am able to let go of thoughts that no longer serve me. Thoughts once controlled me and I couldn’t sit still for 5 mins, but now meditation is my heaven on earth. I have learned to love and accept myself for who I am and to challenge my creativity and continue to grow with no expectations.

Kelly

Musician

Angela really made meditation approachable. She teaches it as something you can really do no matter what your schedule. And she is always open to questions, even after the class is over. My meditation practice has yielded tangible results for me and I am very happy with my experience.

Carly

Student

I have never meditated before, is that ok?

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never meditated before. You’ll master this technique very quickly by the end of the course. The meditative state is a completely natural, easy and effortless experience.

I’m too busy to meditate.

Meditation may seem like it’s taking precious time, but it will actually make you more productive. Many people are amazed at how much more time they get back in a day by sitting for 20 minutes twice a day. They see increases in creativity, performance and endurance accomplishing so much more than before they started a meditation practice.

My mind is so busy! I don’t think I could meditate.

Many people think this before taking the course, others may have tried different types of meditations that didn’t work. Vedic Meditation works even if you have a very active mind. It uses the natural tendencies of the body and mind to automatically trigger the meditative state. With VM after 4 simple sessions you will be meditating deeply, easily and effortlessly.

Will I be able to meditate on my own after the course?

Yes, you will be a self-sufficient meditator by the end of the course. The whole design of the training is to teach you all you need to know to become self sufficient in the practice.

How long will it take to see the benefits?

The benefits of this meditation are immediate and cumulative. Some of my students feel the benefit from the first session while others notice it after a bit of regular practice.

I’m worried I’ll become too mellow and lose my edge.

Not at all. The intervals of deep rest experienced during meditation provide a basis for more dynamic activity, remove counter-productive levels of stress, and help to make us more intuitive, decisive and inspired to take positive actions. Business people and athletes especially, who need to keep their edge daily, report that meditation gives them more of an edge.

"What is the relationship between Vedic Meditation, and “Transcendental Meditation” as taught and promoted by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi?

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (“Maharishi”) was a revered spiritual teacher from the Shankaracharya lineage of the Vedic tradition.

I teach Vedic Meditation. I was trained to teach this form of meditation as taught by Thom Knoles, who continues to teach Vedic Meditation. Thom Knoles was trained as a teacher of Transcendental Meditation (“TM”) by Maharishi, and Thom Knoles taught TM for over 25 years with organizations affiliated with Maharishi. Since 1997, he has continued to teach meditation as he learned it from Maharishi, and has done so independently and separately from the Transcendental Meditation organizations. Thom Knoles trained me to teach meditation as he was trained to teach meditation by Maharishi. I am not affiliated with the TM organizations or their current services or programs, which may differ from my services.

What if I fall asleep during meditation?

Meditation helps liberate fatigue from your body, so if you have excess fatigue you may fall asleep while meditating at first, but this will only be short lived. Each meditation will release more fatigue recharging your entire system.

Do I have to sit cross legged?

No, all you need to do is sit comfortably in a chair. You do not need to chant or sit in strange positions, the technique is a silent, natural and effortless one.

Is Vedic Meditation a religion?

No. Vedic Meditation is a natural technique that promotes the experience of a deep meditative state within the body and mind. It is practiced by people of all religions and faiths.

How does VM compare to other forms of meditation, in particular Mindfulness?

Other types of meditation typically involve concentration or methods that try to train the mind. Vedic Meditation does not use mental effort or training. It uses a natural and effortless process where the mind naturally dives deeply within through the aid of a mantra.The process is easy.

What if it doesn’t work for me?

People from all walks of life have learnt this meditation and practice it daily. All my students have spoken about the benefits of the practice and how it continues to help them on an ongoing basis. If you ever feel that it’s not working, I will free-of- charge listen to your experiences, check your use of the technique and give guidance to get you back on track.

Will I have to change my life and give up alcohol and meat?

No. You are not asked to give up anything.

What does the scientific research say about this form of meditation?

The form of meditation that Thom Knoles teaches, and taught for over 25 years with the TM organizations 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.

I teach Vedic Meditation to empower people to live happier, healthier lives.

For many years I worked in competitive business development environments where bringing in the big clients and big wins was the only thing that mattered. I constantly pushed myself to the limits, working long hours and leaving little time for anything else, until I burnt out. When I learnt Vedic Meditation, everything shifted – not only did I start to restore my health, as time went by every aspect of my life improved. The changes were so profound that I decided to transition out of my corporate role to teach this very powerful technique to others.

Over the past several years, I have been trained by my teacher Thom Knoles (Maharishi Vyasananda Saraswati), the pre-eminent authority on Vedic knowledge and his master teachers. My studies culminated in a 3 month intensive teacher training immersion program in India with Thom. At the conclusion of this training I was inducted into the Shankaracharya tradition by Swami Kailashanand Brahmachari – Shankaracharya – the highest spiritual authority and the head of our Vedic tradition in India. I was among a very small group of westerners thus far to have this privilege.

I am passionate about teaching. I have over the years been a teacher and trainer in a variety of contexts – from teaching in schools to leading and training teams in corporate environments. I have a Masters of Teaching from The University of Sydney.
