Vedic Meditation Wollongong
Vedic Meditation is a simple, natural, innocent technique for de-exciting the mind and providing deep levels of rest. It is a systematic process for releasing stress. So you can be more you.
What is Vedic Meditation?
The practice is an ancient and effective technique to calm the mind and reap numerous benefits. By using simple yet powerful mantras, this automatic self-transcendent technique helps us achieve deep states of rest that are up to five times deeper than sleep.
The Technique
Modern life can be demanding, and when we're constantly on the go, our bodies respond by producing stress chemicals that get stored in our system.
Through the use of personalised mantras, this ancient practice helps your mind and body release accumulated stress, restoring your natural balance and allowing you to thrive in all areas of life.
The Benefits
We can't control what happens to us, but we can control how we react. Vedic Meditation helps to reveal the areas of our lives that are out of balance. Whether it be in areas of health, relationships, emotions or career.
When we are able to stop and de-excite, we make better choices. Vedic Meditation is a catalyst for change.
The Origins
Vedic Meditation comes from the Vedas, the ancient body of knowledge governing the laws of nature and human consciousness from which yoga, meditation, and ayurveda are derived.
The technique of meditation was brought to the west by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who was credited for bringing meditation to over 1 million people.

Your Teacher in Wollongong
I'm Barron Hanson, a Vedic Meditation initiator and UOW alumni with a deep passion for this ancient practice. I discovered Vedic Meditation while living in New York City and was immediately drawn to its powerful benefits. This practice helped me to find balance in the midst of the city's intense energy, increased my adaptation energy, and enabled me to make better decisions.
After six years of dedicated practice and two years of advanced knowledge courses, I underwent over 2000 hours of training to become an initiator and teacher of Vedic Meditation. Today, I am proud to be recognised by the Shankaracharya tradition in India to teach this technique as it has been taught for thousands of years. I am committed to sharing this practice with others, helping them to achieve the same profound benefits that I have experienced.
