Leave more of the day behind
Work towards feeling less wound up when work finishes, so there is more of you left for home.
VEDIC MEDITATION · CURRUMBIN VALLEY & ONLINE
When your days ask a lot of you, it can be hard to stop carrying them into the evening. Learn a simple meditation practice with Rich, with space to rest and a regular rhythm you can return to.

Your teacher, Rich.
Clear guidance. Room to be yourself.
STEPHEN'S FIRST SIX DAYS
Stephen Beverland came to Rich feeling stressed, with meditation seeming an unlikely answer. Here is what he described after six days.
“I can honestly say I'm feeling like a new person. My watch alerted me to a change in my resting heart rate over six days, down from 74 to 66. Feelings aren't always facts, so it was pretty cool to see the data reflect it.”
Stephen's personal account. His watch reading does not establish what caused the change or predict another person's results.
WHAT YOU'RE WORKING TOWARDS
Work towards feeling less wound up when work finishes, so there is more of you left for home.
You do not have to stop thinking. Learn to meditate without fighting the thoughts that show up.
Explore a steadier way to meet the day, with less automatic reaction and more space to respond.
THE COURSE, STEP BY STEP
Personal instruction, room for questions and a clear route to practising independently. Learn over a weekend, across four weeknights or privately by arrangement.
SESSION 01 · 60 MINUTES
Begin individually with Rich. Learn the technique, practise together and ask your questions.
SESSION 02 · 90 MINUTES
Explore thoughts, expectations and the mechanics of the practice, so you know what to do on your own.

AROUND TWO WEEKS LATER · 20 MINUTES

See upcoming datesCOULD THIS SUIT YOU?
You want a simple, repeatable seated practice and can make room for two 20-minute sessions a day. You can begin with a busy mind and no previous meditation experience.
You don't need to be “the meditating type”. Bring your questions, and we can work out a starting point together.
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO
You learn to use a personal mantra while sitting comfortably with your eyes closed. You do not have to hold your attention tightly or force thoughts away. Rich helps you understand the technique and what to do when questions arise.
PRACTICE GROUNDED IN RESEARCH
Mantra-based meditation has a growing research base. Reviews report benefits for stress, anxiety, mood and mental health-related quality of life. Learning with Rich gives you a practical way to explore this approach with personal guidance.
For you, the purpose is everyday life: more ease, more presence and a practice that supports how you feel and live.
Benefits and experiences vary from person to person.
Mantra meditation and mental wellbeing
These reviews cover a range of meditation programmes and methods, rather than a study of Rich's course.

EXPERIENCE, WITH A HUMAN SIDE
I came to this work through my own difficulties, so understanding where you're starting from matters to me. There is room for lightness, and an honest conversation about what has been hard.

When I teach the Vedic technique, I perform a ceremony of gratitude. I explain it beforehand so you know what to expect. It is part of the teaching, rather than something you need to repeat in your daily practice.
When you meditate at home, you do not need to burn incense, hold anything special or perform a ceremony. You simply sit comfortably and use the technique you have learned.
Thoughts are expected. You will learn how to practise without trying to force your mind to be quiet.
The daily practice is 20 minutes, twice a day. We can talk honestly about whether that rhythm fits your life.
Yes. Rich uses both. Mindfulness can be practised seated or in activity, and can complement your Vedic practice.
