Explore the Veda

Think of Exploring the Veda as a University-level correspondence course about consciousness and the practical application of everything meditation allows us to experience. And then add a facilitator to the mix (Light), other interested colleagues (meditators) with whom you can workshop the various concepts, add a couple of advanced techniques that you will learn to enhance the experience of meditation, throw in some tasty snacks and meals, and this is what the Exploring the Veda course is like – it’s really a cool, fun and informative experience of diving deep in the knowledge.

We will be offering Exploring the Veda I for all those interested on the weekend of November 20th. Call (323) 363-8524 for further details.

Jai Guru Deva!

Alabama native “Light” of the Santa Monica Meditation Center has been practicing and teaching yoga and Vedic meditation for 10 years.

What type of meditation do you teach?
I teach Vedic Meditation, an easy and effortless meditation technique for busy people. The technique involves sitting comfortably with the eyes closed for 20 minutes twice a day. During that time, the meditator is entertaining the sound of a charming mantra in the easiest, most effortless way. No trying is needed for the technique to work.

Why Vedic Meditation?
It’s easy and simple to practice, and I feel like teaching it is the most useful thing I could ever do. I wanted to teach people to find inner happiness – that’s what it’s done for hundreds of thousands of other regular people like me.

Who can learn Vedic Meditation?
Everyone agrees meditating would be good for them, but after trying some random technique on their own, most people think it’s just too hard to do. They can’t stop the thoughts but they shouldn’t try to stop thinking because it’s impossible to do. Trying actually creates more thoughts! Vedic meditation works along with the natural tendency of the thinking mind, and helps the practitioner experience fewer thoughts the only way – naturally. The fact is, anyone can learn Vedic Meditation and practice it easily — all you need is someone to show you and the willingness to follow a few simple instructions.

What is your specialty?
My specialty is teaching regular folks from all walks of life. You don’t have to be a yogi, or even so-called “spiritual” to learn and master this technique.

What is the price range of your classes?
Vedic Meditation teachers charge an individual graduated course fee based on a sliding scale which is determined by an individual’s weekly earnings. Therefore, everybody’s fee arrangement is private and in accordance to their lifestyle. People who can contribute more help to supplement those who have been laid off or who are having a hard time. Everyone must contribute something though, and there’s a guideline that insures fairness.
