The Vedic Methodology Of Mantra Meditation

In this lesson, you will receive a Mantra, if you don't have one already, and instructions on how to use it. Ed will lead you into meditation, and you and Ed will meditate together with some suggestions for the best practice at the end.

The approach to Mantra meditation is so easy and natural that it can feel like it should be harder or more complex. Because of this many people unconsciously apply effort and so in this lesson, and after meditating a few times Ed will check your meditation. At the end of this checking, Ed offers some more suggestions to ensure an easy and effortless experience.

There are two strokes or directions in meditation. There is a inward stroke of meditation that is governed by the Mantra and the outward stroke which is governed by the body. Every meditation is a series of going within and coming out of the deep levels of meditation. In this lesson Ed discusses these two strokes and how they are both natural and easy because they are governed by the natural tendencies of the mind and body. Understanding these tendencies allows us even more freedom to be "OK" with whatever happens in meditation.

In this lesson, Ed summarizes the Mantra practice and suggests some last tips and a protocol that will allow you to have a LASTING and easy meditation practice.
