How do you practice the technique?
To meditate, you sit comfortably in a chair with your back supported and your
eyes closed. And over the course of about 20 minutes you let your mind settle down to increasingly quiter levels of consciousness by
utilizing the sound of a mantra. To an outside
observer you will appear to be simply resting.

What if I have too many thoughts
when I try to quiet my mind?
If you feel like your mind is always active, you are a perfect
candidate for this technique because you don’t have
to “try” to stop thinking or “try”
to do anything for that matter. “Trying” is actually
what excites the mind and causes thinking. Vedic Meditation effortlessly settles the mind in the most
natural and immediate way.
