Let’s explore how Vedic Meditation can bring lasting personal transformation of ordinary individuals, one meditation at a time.

Hilary: From Striving to Being

Hilary took the Learn to Meditate Course with Susan at a time when she was examining many parts of her life and looking to create alignment. She knew she could create better results and greater success by shifting her mindset and outlook on a deeper level. She was seeking an option that was less intellectually focused and more about being. Here’s what Hilary discovered:

Questions of Purposeful Living

“I think the problem that I was facing before I discovered Vedic Meditation was, how can I really sit with myself? Do I like myself? How am I communicating or connecting with other people?

“And then one of the big ones was, how am I showing up at work? How do I want to show up at work? How do I want to construct my life, and do my actions match the person that I want to become?

“The class that I had with Susan was just a huge leap forward. I also consolidated a lot of the information that I had gained but didn’t really know how to practice. For me, something really clicked and everything came together with her Vedic Meditation class.”

Why Vedic Meditation Was Different

“I think what I really loved about the practice that was different from other things is that it’s different from psychotherapy.

“I’ve seen a lot of therapists and even in the manifestation practice I was doing there was a lot of focus on repeating things. There was a lot of oversharing. But with Susan, the experience was more like, you’re here and you’re present.

“I could tell her things if I wanted to, but at the same time, I could keep things to myself. There was no pressure to do certain things in a certain way. The practice is more about just being, and it’s something that keeps building on itself.”

Positive Habits and New Perspectives

“Within the week that I took the course, by the third day or so I felt different. I felt a new sense of calm and a sense of acceptance. And from there, it’s just built upon itself.

“The mental benefits have been accepting myself, being able to really look at what’s coming from me, what’s coming from society, and what’s coming from the expectations that I have placed on myself.

“For me, it’s being comfortable with the unknown and understanding that the unknown is not a scary place. You don’t have to have everything spelled out. You can just exist. I think for me, it’s about being, for lack of a better term.

“Now, I just wish I had done it earlier. I don’t think anyone would have a bad time or not get something out of this course. There’s something for everyone at whatever stage they’re in.”

“I think the problem that I was facing before I discovered Vedic Meditation was, how can I really sit with myself? Do I like myself? How am I communicating or connecting with other people?… Within the week that I took the course, by the third day or so I felt different. I felt a new sense of calm and a sense of acceptance. And from there, it’s just built upon itself.”

Vini: Health Benefits and Lower Anxiety Through Vedic Meditation

Vini took the Learn to Meditate Course with Susan to address anxiety and insomnia. With a demanding work schedule and a real need to function at a high level every day, Vini needed a solution that would easily fit her schedule without draining her energy. See how she completely transformed her experience of anxiety, insomnia, and time management through her meditation journey:

The Challenges of a Busy Schedule

“Before I discovered Vedic Meditation, the challenge I faced was anxiety and insomnia due to the demanding and stressful nature of my work life.

“I tried various meditation techniques and other practices, but my main frustration was the inability to establish a consistent routine. Integrating these techniques into my schedule was challenging, requiring me to carve out time from my already hectic days.”

Real and Immediate Benefits

“I’ve been practicing Vedic Meditation for the past two and a half months now, and it was surprisingly easy to pick up. Unlike what I initially thought about meditation being difficult, this practice has seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. It’s just 20 minutes long, and the benefits became evident within the first two weeks. I was hooked.

“During a trip to Columbia, I couldn’t practice Vedic Meditation, and the stress began to pile up as the trip took unexpected turns. However, I made a point to meditate in the last few days of my journey, and it provided immediate relief. I gained clarity, felt more focused on the present moment, and no longer allowed external factors to control my mental state.”

Vedic Meditation for Deep Sleep and a Calm Mind

“Previously, I would get overwhelmed by my tasks and constantly worry about my to-do list, especially at bedtime. But now, I fall asleep effortlessly, free from insomnia. I can think clearly, stay focused on the present, and manage my demanding workload with ease.

“Susan, despite her extensive experience in Vedic Meditation, proved to be incredibly relatable and approachable. She took the time to understand my challenges and problems from my perspective before offering guidance. Her effort to connect with me on a personal level was truly appreciated.

“These small daily victories have translated into significant progress. Vedic Meditation is an easily accessible and highly rewarding practice!”

William: From Controlled by Stress to Deep Relaxation

William felt like a high-strung person whose whirring thoughts greatly detracted from his quality of life. After taking the Learn to Meditate course, he experienced such profound personal growth that it positively affected his family and personality.

Finding a Way Out

“Before learning to meditate I experienced a lot of hopelessness.

“There never seemed to be a way out. It always seemed to get worse. I’d wake up with it. It was always ticking off in my head as the day went on, and until I discovered Vedic Meditation and learned what I did with Susan, I was never able to turn it off.

“I didn’t have an idea of what an outlet would be, I just thought it was something you lived with.”

Sensing Immediate Change

“Right after that first day, I could tell a difference already. I could feel my heart slow down. I could feel my shoulders relax and I thought, Wow, this is, this is really something.

“Now, I’m a lot more relaxed. My head is a lot clearer. Things do not seem to bother me as much as they used to. I used to attract conflict, and that seems to have gone away.

“The Learn to Meditate Course made me think in a different way and it’s really changed my life. Working with Susan has helped me out tremendously.”

“Before learning to meditate I experienced a lot of hopelessness… Now, I’m a lot more relaxed. My head is a lot clearer. Things do not seem to bother me as much as they used to. I used to attract conflict, and that seems to have gone away.”

Lindsay: Managing the Stress of Breast Cancer

Lindsay had never been someone who prioritized time for herself until she became ill. Her personal transformation journey was in discovering that she could have time to reset physically and mentally just for her every day. Here’s her story:

Time to Meditate

“I was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year and sought help in various ways. One of my closest friends had been talking to me about Vedic Meditation for a while. I used to think, ’I’m too busy. I’ll do it later when the kids are older.’ But suddenly, he sent me a sign-up link and said, ’You’re doing this now.’

“With so much on my plate, from the kids and family to the dog and husband, school stuff, and friends – life’s daily demands, you know – I’m naturally high-energy. But finding the bandwidth to stay calm, especially with the children, was a challenge. Meditation really helped me reset, take a deep breath, and create that space I needed to process things.”

The A-ha Moment

“The moment I really noticed a change was when I stopped losing my cool with the kids over trivial things. Those little triggers that used to push me over the edge?

“They no longer bother me. I have this inner space now, a place to take a deep breath and say, ’It’s not a big deal. They’re just kids.’ I can handle things differently.

“This practice has become my way of making space for myself, something I rarely did before. I was always focused on giving, giving, giving – doing everything for the family, but not giving myself much mental space. At least not before this diagnosis.

“Now, I’m much more invested in myself and my time. Vedic Meditation starts and ends my day.

“It gives me two resets just for myself every day. I’ve never had that before, and it’s been mind-blowing. It’s changed my life so much.”
