Hear a FREE introductory talk given by Thom Knoles, widely considered the foremost teacher in the western world in the tradition of Vedic Meditation — a simple, effortless and highly beneficial practice that absolutely anyone can learn. Having personally taught upwards of 20,000 people to meditate in over 40 years, Thom continues to teach new students all over the world.
The Introductory talk is a free one-hour lecture and question/answer session designed for anyone interested in learning more about Vedic Meditation — the practice itself, its benefits (including reduction of stress and an increase in energy and peace of mind), and how to learn. This talk is required before taking Thom’s Introduction to Meditation course.
Vedic Meditation is derived from the Veda, the 5,000 year old body of wisdom and source of yoga and Ayurvedic medicine.
In addition to his comprehensive knowledge of the Veda, Thom’s expert commentaries in the cognitive sciences, quantum physics, and consciousness have made him a sought-after speaker and thought-leader on these subjects. Thom and his colleagues are expert instructors, trained to teach anyone how to have the direct experience of meditation and its benefits. Each student enjoys easy-to-follow instruction in the effortless technique of Vedic Meditation.
During meditation, one experiences inner wakefulness beyond thought. Meditators describe this state as supreme inner contentment. The restfulness accompanying meditation is considerably deeper than that gained by sleeping. This profound rest allows deep-rooted stresses to dissolve naturally, bringing the many benefits that have made Vedic Meditation a sensation worldwide.
The integration of bliss consciousness and deeper levels of rest with one’s dynamic daily activity allows the meditator to becomes less stressed, more creative, more productive, and more adaptable to the demands of life.
