PRIVATE MENTORING
Deepen your existing practice of Vedic Meditation, master the art of Mindfulness, learn breathing techniques, or explore life situations in strict confidence. These 60-120 minute sessions live (or over FaceTime / Zoom) are designed to examine and maximize students' potential, remove obstacles, and facilitate supreme balance and unity in one's consciousness.
ADVANCED TECHNIQUE
After a year (or more) of consistent twice-a-day practice of Vedic Meditation, an Advanced Technique is designed to deepen one's experience of unity both in the practice itself as well as in waking life. The integration of "ritam" (that subtle, charming and deep stratum of consciousness experienced before transcendence) with layers of thinking and action is strengthened through the practice of an Advanced Technique. Sensory acuity is refined in order to saturate one's awareness with a baseline of supreme equanimity while engaged in the demands of life's activities. Two sessions are required to become proficient in this technique (the first of which needs to be on a day when beginners receive their initial technique) and a course fee consistent with your original offering is our guideline.
