Can you learn Vedic Meditation online?
This is a common question and the answer divides opinion in the Vedic Meditation community.
Traditionally, Vedic Meditation has only be taught in-person, over four sessions. New meditators bring fruit and flowers and witness a puja gratitude ceremony before being given their mantras.
This is how I learned and it is the way that has been proven to work over many decades by many teachers.
However, we now live in a more connected world with technology that the ancient seers of India didn’t have access to.
As a teacher, one of my key values is a healthy balance of respect for tradition as well as adapting to the times.
For this reason, I offer an online program called Wise Meditation which is based on Vedic Meditation but uses a different name to differentiate it as it doesn’t include all of the traditional elements of Vedic Meditation.

What is meditation for?
Meditation is a set of practices designed to help you relax, release stress and develop yourself. Most techniques use an “anchor” which you rest your awareness on. It takes you away from everyday thoughts to a place of stillness.
Wise Meditation
Wise Meditation is based on Vedic Meditation, which comes from a tradition dating back thousands of years ago in India. You sit comfortably with your eyes closed for 20 minutes and effortlessly repeat a mantra, which is a word or sound with no meaning that you repeat silently in your head.
Why use a mantra?
Unlike other anchors, the mantra speaks the same language as our thoughts. “I’ve tried several other techniques,” says Rory, “including mindfulness-based breathing and body-scan techniques and have found mantra to be the easiest. For many of us, hearing is something we already associate with relaxation and the mantra uses the same vibrational language as music, which resonates with many of us.”
