Light teaches Vedic Meditation, which is an in-person, comprehensive meditation training for beginners and experienced meditators alike.

A new meditator is someone who has not completed the Vedic meditation training.

To be considered an existing meditator, you need to have completed the Vedic meditation training.

Light Watkins is not affiliated with the Transcendental Meditation organization. However, some practitioners of TM have remarked that the Vedic Meditation teaching format is similar to what they learned with Transcendental Meditation. There’s a personalized mantra plus four sessions of instruction, and a lifetime of ongoing support.

Light works with both beginner and experienced meditators who are interested in learning how to meditate with ease (without having to rely on apps, guidance, or drop-in studios). The people who are most attracted to this kind of training are those who’ve tried many different styles and they’ve struggled to find a practice that felt easy, as well as people who’ve read Light’s book Bliss More or who subscribe to his Daily Dose of Inspiration.

We cap the number of participants to about 20-25 people to insure that we can provide a generous amount of personal attention to each participant.

The training will take place at The Roma, an events space with a great view on the city, in the Roma Nte neighborhood.

You must attend the first session in order to take the training. But if you have to miss one or two of the follow-up sessions, you will be supplied with a video recording of your missed session so you can stay caught up with everyone else.

Yes, if you’ve already completed Light’s Vedic Meditation training, you are welcome back to sit in on any or all of the last three sessions (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday) at no cost. You don’t need to come to session one, because that’s when the new meditators will be receiving their personal mantra.

Yes. Use this link to book an advanced mantra (https://dharmausd.rezdy.com/492285/advanced-technique-private-session-with-light-watkins-in-mexico-city)

As a practicing Vedic Meditator, you are eligible for an advanced technique (mantra) every 12 months. These mantras must be given in person, after a puja ceremony. During this Urban Retreat, you may receive your advanced mantra or technique from Light along with detailed instructions for using the mantra. Light will spend separate time with those who are receiving their advanced mantra during the retreat to make sure you understand how to get the most from using it.

You will meet with Light one-on-one to discuss any aspect of your meditation practice, or your life as a meditator. Light can offer insight on any area of life that may be causing confusion, including but not limited to finding your purpose, navigating friendships and relationships, work challenges, and tapping into intuition and inspiration. Bring your questions, and leave with answers from the Vedic worldview. You’ll also have homework to integrate what you discuss with Light.

Yes, but you will have to make a one-time exchange of $500, and that gives you unlimited access to Light’s trainings as well as ongoing follow-up support from him.

Meditation apps are generally devoid of personalized instruction, which is a pre-requisite for mastery, and drop-in studios are the most expensive way to meditate where you're essentially paying by the hour to meditate, with no free support. Most apps and meditation classes offer guided meditation, which is a starter technique. What we teach you is how to meditate successfully on your own (without guidance).

Step-by-step, you will learn all of the relevant aspects of meditation directly with Light. He will walk you through the key principles for meditating in the easiest, most effortless way. You will see that there is nothing arbitrary about meditation—from the way you sit, to the time of day you practice, to the manner in which you treat your thoughts. You will also have plenty of home practice, group practice, and Q&A with the teacher. By the end of your training, you will be an expert meditator—able to meditate successfully almost anywhere, even with a busy mind. At the conclusion of the course, you will also remain in contact with Light in case you have future meditation-related questions. Plus you will have an open invitation to audit the course when Light returns to teach in your area. None of those options exist with meditation apps.

Yes. Bliss More should be considered a primer, but learning with a teacher is a completely different experience, where you’ll receive tools and insight that are not in any books on meditation. Plus, you’ll get your questions answered, receive ongoing follow-up support, as well as access to future trainings. These are the tools for long term meditation success.

If you just want to dabble in meditation, there are less expensive ways to do that. However, if you know you want to make meditation a part of your daily life over the long term, and you want to know how to optimize your experiences, then you won’t find a more thorough training or an easier form of meditation than Vedic Meditation. Basically, you get personal instruction from an expert teacher with over 15 years of real-world experience teaching beginners how to meditate (and not just guiding meditations), you get a minimum of two years free support from Light, plus access to weekly group meditations over Zoom as well as access to the larger Vedic meditation community. After conducting deeper research on other meditation offerings, you'll quickly see that the value of this training far exceeds that of any other training (make sure to ask the other offerings you're considering what their ongoing support options look like).

Since there's no way for any meditation training to show you what your life will be like after a week or a year of meditation, without you first going through the process, the best way to see how it might help you is to read our reviews.

The investment you make covers you for life. After your initial training, you are encouraged to get as much support as you need in order to maintain self-sufficiency. As you'll quickly see, the most essential component for success with becoming an enthusiastic daily meditator is learning properly the first time, and having access to the same teacher who taught you months and even years down the line whenever you have questions.
