About Vedic
What is Vedic Meditation?
Vedic Meditation is a mantra based technique, practised for 20 minutes, twice per day.
We sit comfortably with eyes closed, allowing the body and the mind to settle down to its least excited state.
We transcend. With the use of your personalised mantra, which is given to you by a qualified teacher, we dip below the layer of thought. This is called this Transcendence.
It’s effortless. This transcendent style of meditation is easy & sustainable. If you can think thoughts, you can meditate.
Once your practice is done, it's back into action - ready to enjoy what ever the day has to offer.
Vedic Meditation seamlessly integrates into a busy life.
Why practice?
The benefits are endless
Be more you. We are all inherently, innately absolutely awesome. THIS brings out THAT.
Less Stress. Stress accumulates in the body and mind and that looks different for everyone. With this daily strategy, we rid the body of stress and increase our ability to adapt to the demands of everyday life.
More Energy & Increased Creativity. In this new state of calm, meditators feel energised and ready to innovate and create throughout every facet of their lives.
Deep Rest. The rest we achieve in meditation is 2-5 times deeper than our deepest sleep.
More Love. Humans are built to love. The bliss chemicals that saturate the body in your twice daily practice uncovers a readiness to experience joy, happiness & love that is already within us.
Flow and Alignment. We let go of control inside our meditation. Our body and mind naturally move towards a state of inner contentedness and we bring that state back into our day. Here we notice that irrelevant behaviours, thoughts and actions begin to fall away and we arrive & sustain patterns of ease, flow and alignment with ourselves and everything around us.
Vedic Meditation is based on universal knowledge, an ancient practise re-introduced into modern society, allowing the body and mind to move to deep states of rest and rejuvenation.
“It is the true nature of the mind to move towards greater happiness, this technique allows us to uncover that happiness within.”

Learn Vedic Meditation
The Vedic Meditation technique is taught in person in 4 x 90 minute sessions over four consecutive days.
You’ll receive a personalise mantra, we’ll meditate together and we’ll dive deep into the details of this 6,000 year old technique.
You’ll learn the mechanics of meditation and how to understand and embrace the natural tenancies of the body and mind inside meditation.
We’ll discuss home practice and how to smoothly integrate it into your daily schedule.
I’ll be there to support you in your practice for the rest of your life.
Courses are held monthly in White Gum Valley, WA, in a group format, and regularly in the South West of WA.
1:1 or private group courses can also be arranged.
“New to meditation, I was nervous going into the course, unsure at how I would go and what would be involved. But now, a few days post course, I can truly say it is the best thing I have ever done. I am already noticing the positive impact this practice is having on my life!
Elliot created a warm, inclusive and safe learning space, and shared his knowledge and experience openly. I am so grateful for what this course has given me.”
