What Are The Benefits?
There are so many benefits but these 3 are the most common reasons people decide it’s time to dedicate themselves to a regular practice, and make a change in their life.
Stress & Burnout
We’re often told that stress is bad for us, but it’s actually our relationship with stress that matters. A regulated nervous system naturally fluctuates into a state of action, enabling us to navigate the stressors of our day-to-day lives, these challenges make us feel stimulated in a positive way. Problems only occur if we can’t then return to a state of rest.
Vedic Meditation naturally activates the para-sympathetic nervous system, and improves our vagal tone, meaning we are more able to recover from stress.

Chronic Fatigue
Chronic Fatigue
If you’re suffering with chronic fatigue, you will not only experience extremely low energy, but also the knock on effects on your mood, digestion and sleep. This can become a vicious cycle, because an unhappy mind can effect your body’s natural ability to create ‘happy hormones’ such as endorphins (a natural painkiller), and serotonin.
Vedic Meditation naturally increases the body’s production of the hormones that will help you feel mentally more positive, and begin to break a negative pattern.
Improved Performance
Improved Performance
We live in a world that makes complete presence difficult. Constant stimulation means that our attention can often be divided. Our minds learn from repetition, so by repeating a pattern of distraction, we slowly lose our ability to focus when we really need to. A loss of focus means you are not performing to the best of your ability.
Vedic Meditation improves the function of the neo-cortex, the part of the brain responsible for attention, thought + perception, meaning better focus, and ultimately performance.

"One of the best decisions I made"
"I was skeptical at first. I didn't know if it would really work, or if I'd have the time, or if it was just another fad... but I am so glad I trusted my gut and learnt the meditation technique with Soma. Thank you for an incredible opportunity" - Laura James
"Everything I wanted... and more!"
"I started with Soma back in June and after 15 years of practicing traditional mindfulness meditation, I found Soma's approach to be such a massive relief. Well worth your money and time if you're serious about mental health and wellbeing." - John Ellison, Founder
"You would be mad not to"
"I cannot recommend Sam and Soma Meditation more highly! This meditation technique has been a total game changer for me. This is 100% worth the investment and will change your life" - Vanessa de Lande Long, Business Owner
FAQs
What is a mantra and why do I need one?
The word mantra comes from the ancient Sanskrit language and translates as; manas = mind and tra = vehicle. In Vedic meditation, we use the mantra as a vehicle to draw the mind inwards into deeper more restful states. The mantra you receive is a simple sound with no intended meaning and this ‘mind vehicle’ will be selected for you to create the most effortless meditation experience. There are thousands of different mantras or 'mind vehicles' that are used in different techniques, each with their own function and outcome. Receiving a personal mantra and correct instruction for Vedic meditation gives you a deeper experience and allows you to advance your practice over the years.
Do I have to sit like a Pretzel in an uncomfortable position?
Not at all. When you learn in the course, it will be sitting comfortably on a lounge. When you practice this technique at home, all that’s required is that you sit upright with the back-supported.
How long is each lesson?
There are 8 lessons and 2.5 hours of content in total. Lessons vary between 5-30 minutes.

What about mindfulness, isn’t that meditating?
To be mindful is to be in the present moment. Mindfulness is not a practice, it is an outcome of meditation. Practising mindfulness involves effort. You’re thinking about and concentrating on being in the present moment. Thinking and concentrating use effort, and are exhausting. You’re trying hard to be present. Everything about this course is to be effortless, it's easy.
