Learn Vedic Meditation
with Robbie Paterson
What is Vedic Meditation and how is it unique?
Vedic Meditation (VM) is unique. Why?
It’s is an easy, effortless, natural - transcending - technique. Transcending means ‘to go beyond’. Beyond what? The surface of your busy mind.
It’s simple, yet extremely powerful, highly effective, and anyone can learn it. It awakens and enlivens the full potential of the mind and causes extremely deep rest for the mind-body system.
In contrast to other styles of meditation, there is no control, concentration or focus of the mind.
It’s a 20 minute eyes closed technique, practiced ideally twice a day. You are seated comfortably in a chair, no crossed legs or sitting on a yoga mat is required. After practicing VM for only a short amount of time results in drastic shifts and transformation in your eyes open life experience.
How does it work?
What makes it so powerful?
You will receive a personalized mantra. A mantra is a sound or word with no meaning. You are then taught how to use it, silently & effortlessly in your mind.
This redirects your awareness away from thoughts at the surface of your mind - the incessant and cyclical mental loops that tend to consume your attention. The mantra transports your awareness to a deeper part of the mind.
This allows your mind and body to relax & rest deeply. As a result, removing stress which is built up in your mind-body. This results in a myriad of benefits to your everyday life.
With a consistent daily routine, you'll find yourself less stressed or anxious, more productive, less overwhelmed and more calm and content. It allows you to live from your innate potential and become more effective at life and Being You.
‘‘The thing about meditation is: You become more and more you.’’

Meditation Misconceptions
Contrary to popular belief, meditation is simple and easy to learn, and its benefits can be felt right away.
No prior experience is needed, and even those with the busiest minds—who might think meditation is impossible for them—can easily be taught be guided into how to enter a deeply restful state with four short sessions of learning.
The Course
This course is suitable for all levels, from first time beginners to experienced meditators of other techniques.
The course consists of four consecutive sessions, each lasting around 90 to 120 minutes. By the end of the course, participants will have fully mastered the meditation technique, allowing them to practice anytime, anywhere. It's important to complete all four sessions in sequence, as each day builds on the knowledge from the previous one.
Additionally, you will learn how to implement this easy and effortless daily practice into any busy schedule and make the habit stick in your daily routine.

Course Investment Options
We base our tiered pricing structure on the green bottle method developed by Alexis J. Cunningfolk. This economic justice tool helps you determine where you fall on the sliding scale based on your financial privilege.
Please read all the options available below. You might not say yes to every statement, but the option that has the most YES answers will be your contribution. If you are a dependent, or supported by your partner, parents, family etc. please answer the questions based on "WE”, rather than “I”.
“Teachers deserve to get paid and students deserve classes which recognize the multiple realities of economic access and privilege that exist.” - Alexis J. Cunningfolk.
Please consider that there are a fixed amount of places for each option on each course. If you select an option at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford the higher end, you are limiting access to those who really need the gift of financial flexibility.
Also, if you can ask others for financial support, such as family members, partners, or friends, please consider using those personal resources before you use the resources of the sliding scale and limit opportunities for others.

FAQs
Question 1: What if I haven’t progressed after the 4 Day Course?
If you follow the instructions and take part in the course fully, you will see progress.
However, regardless of your progress, your meditation practice is only beginning after you finish the course.
You will have on-going support from Robbie to deepen and expand your meditation practice as you wish. You can contact Robbie at any time.
You will also have access to Group Meditations and regular Q&A sessions. Drop in whenever you like.
Question 2: How long are the meditation sessions each day?
The standard is to meditate for 20 minutes, twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon or early evening. It can be more or less depending on your specific needs, which we will work out with you needed.
Question 3: Do I have to sit cross legged or in Full Lotus position?
No, of course not! You can ditch that stereotype now. In Vedic Meditation we emphasize that comfort is key. All you need is a comfortable spot to sit in, preferably with back support so you can deeply relax and move into the deep state.
Whatever is most comfortable for you.
For most students, this is a big relief. No back aches or sore knees and hips. Just comfort and Transcendence!
