We believe that it is important that students have an opportunity to make an informed decision in learning to meditate. By attending an Introductory talk, it is possible to ensure that all students joining a course have a solid and consisten understanding of the teaching and course approach. Furthermore, an introductory talk provides an opportunity to clarify many of the misconceptions about meditation, to understand the likely benefits that will be experienced with regular practice, and to ensure a good and practical understanding of how the technique can be in our busy lives. Also just as importantly it is an opportunity to meet Corey. After all learning is always much easier if you ‘gel’ with your teacher. Introductory talks are without obligation, and you are welcome to invite someone to join you, and listen and ask questions as you like. The more the merrier.
It is recommended that everyone wishing to undertake meditation training firstly attend a free group introductory talk. If you prefer to meet one on one, individual talks may be possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us, via any of the means provided here on our website.
For your convenience, there are a range of payment methods available to you. We will be more than happy to discuss these with you during your Introductory Talk. Direct Bank Transfer and Paypal are easy alternatives on offer. Alternatively, if you have any questions please feel free to contact us, via any of the means provided here on our website.
After completing your course of instruction, you should be in a position to start to reap the benefits of your learning immediately. You will be supported during and after your course to ensure that you are comfortable in your practice.
The degree of benefit will depend on the level of expectation and the individual involved however students consistently report increased levels of rest and reduce stress levels within days or weeks of learning to meditate. With continued practice students also report a variety of other benefits
Our aim at Inner Space Meditation is not to provide instruction and guidance that will benefit you for your lifetime. The meditation technique can be thought of as a ‘life skill’ that allows you to meditate without any supervision. That said, our doors will always be open to you for ongoing consultations and group activities to further develop and refine your practice and/or to answer any questions you might have.
Meditation has scientifically proven benefits but ultimately, each individual can ‘experience’ a different range of benefits. These can be physical, emotional and spiritual and can assist in the treatment of high blood pressure, heart disease, lack of clarity, stress and anxiety – just to name a few. Please visit our Meditation Benefits page for further information.
Finding what makes you comfortable is an important part of learning to meditate. We ask that you wear whatever makes you comfortable and you can rest assured that we won’t force you to wear anything that may cause discomfort or judge you for what you choose to wear for your classes. We also provide changing facilities on-site for your convenience.
We believe that all you need to meditate is the ability to sit comfortably, the ability to close your eyes and the willingness to participate. You can meditate by simply sitting in a comfortable chair or on a mat, the choice is up to you. It is important to be physically comfortable and we can help you find the way that suits you best in your first class. A beauty of this practice its few prerequisites. If we can close our eyes and we can think, then we can practice Vedic Meditation. With easily achievable requirements means that we can practice in a wide variety of locations and scenarios. Having said this, in the earlier stages of meditation practice, a quieter (but not necessary silent) location helps.
Ideally, the course is taken over four evenings, or over a weekend (with two sessions per day). In both cases the course content is the same. It is quite important to ensure continuity over these sessions in order build a solid practice, and so it is important to commit to the course of instruction in this way. If this will not work for you, please feel free to contact us to discuss a teaching schedule that will meet your needs. With some preparation and agreement, it should be possible to accommodate some deviation to the teaching approach. Ultimately your commitment to learning and practicing the meditation techniques determines your success, and if there is the will Inner Space Meditation will help make it happen.
Vedic Meditation is ideally practiced twice daily morning and evening. Whilst we strongly encourage twice daily practice, at Inner Space Meditation students are encouraged to temper this ‘best practice’ with practicality. Interestingly for most students, despite some initial reservations, finding the opportunity to meditate is much easier than one expects. This is in large due to the increased levels of energy, rest and clarity of thought allow more effective use of our time (thereby freeing us up to invest this time). The course of instruction also addresses logistical considerations that help find suitable slots to make this happen. Finally, a beautiful aspect of Vedic Meditation is its ability to be practiced anywhere we can sit comfortably and close our eyes. Having such limited prerequisites means that we actually do it.
There are no religious implications or affiliations required when you learn at Inner Space Meditation. Your time with us is entirely focused on teaching you a meditation technique that is suited to you and your needs, and practicing this form of meditation does not require you to believe in anything, give up anything nor make any substantial life changes to accommodate it into your daily life.
Vedic meditation has it’s roots in the body of knowledge known as the Vedas. This knowledge originated in India several thousand years ago at the peak of Indian society. Vedic Meditation is a technique is simple to learn and practical in its application. It has only a few simple pre-requisites, such as the ability to close your eyes and to be able to set aside twenty minutes, twice a day. During mediation training you will be expertly guided through the technique by your teacher and be given a personalised mantra (man = mind, tra = vehicle) that is used to help deepen your meditation experience.
