Transcendental Meditation in London

It’s been an amazing week. I have meditated twice a day, yesterday I was in the park. My senses feel heightened, I have had a visual feast watching my favourite Kubrick movies. I feel more confident. My brain has done some amazing healing. I stopped smoking but had a little lapse. But I am determined to quit. Friends have said how amazing I look and two friends will sign up for the intro talk. Really good things are happening and I am loving life.

I used to have repeated buzzing ear on one side whenever I thought too much or was stressed but as soon as I started a meditation, it immediately went away in the first 30sec. And now I don’t have it anymore. Which is a wonderful thing! I seem to make better decision too. Absolutely a life time tool I need! Thank you so much!

The rounding retreat was such a special weekend. Will, Jess and the rest of the team put so much thought and love into it (thank you!!), and it felt like the opening of a million doors. I would recommend it to everyone and anyone.

I have to admit I was a little sceptical when I first decided to learn meditation from Will. I liked the idea of meditation, but coming from a totally non-religious background, I wanted to understand the science behind it all as well as learn the process. So, Will assured me that he was the man for the job and I signed up for the weekend course. I have to say, by the end of the weekend I was a believer! I thought Will was very impressive – He had a great balance of knowledge, enthusiasm and was an excellent teacher. He was able to handle any question our group threw at him and handle them very very well. I have come away extremely excited and motivated to practice meditation and am now a week or so into my own experience of it. My main observations so far are increased energy levels in the day and I am far more relaxed. I’m sure there are many more to come, but this is a pretty awesome start! I would highly recommend Will to anyone looking to start meditating… he’s the man! 🙂

PS. A year on I’m feeling no anxiety at all, and i’m sleeping like a baby, its a revelation!

Although initially skeptical, I booked a course with my fiancee largely for her benefit. The (rather selfish) benefits I felt I could derive from such a technique was to structure my work productivity better, being an overly ambitious entrepreneur. And yet, 4 months on, wow. What an unbelievable difference and improvement I see in the structure of, not just my work productivity, but my life. With such a fantastic teacher, and now friend, in Will I am truly blessed to be where I am – a better person, intrinsically and extrinsically more successful and more controlled and focused. Thank you. I can’t say that enough.

Will is a generous, thoughtful and fun teacher and I really enjoyed the Beeja meditation workshop sessions. Not only is he a great teacher of technique, he also takes the time to explain its benefits for our increasingly stressed out lives. I learned a lot about how meditation helps our minds and bodies rebalance and recharge. This is so important since we rarely control the world around us but we can always control how we react to it. This is the gift that Beeja meditation keeps on giving. This is also Will’s gift. Thanks a lot my friend and look forward to the next round!

For the last 16 years I’ve tried several types of meditation but have never stuck with any of them. Mainly because practicing them was dogmatic and trying to quiet my mind was more often than not a source of stress rather than calm. However, after only a couple of months into vedic meditation, I feel I’ve found the right path. Meditation has never been easier nor more impactful than now. Plus, Will and Jess are simply great at helping one understand the “why” behind the practice. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in taking control of their own lives.

Initially I didn’t think I needed meditation. A combination of Taurean stubbornness, self reliance and a lack of education on the subject helped me form irrational preconceptions about meditation. I thought it was for monks, mountaintops and had little relevance for people living in London. After some encouragement from friends who had recently attended one of Will’s classes and enthusiastically talked about the results, I attended the beginners course to see what all the fuss was about. For people like me who place a lot of value on how things work, I found the information during the course extremely interesting. It’s all very well to talk about the results of meditation but I wanted to know why it worked and what happens physiologically when we meditate. It all makes perfect sense in hindsight and will happily admit that I was very wrong about my initial concerns. The benefits have been profound and subtle at the same time, but the most interesting reaction has come from friends and family who say that I seem happier and calmer. I’ve found that I’m still able to work hard during the week, but it’s done without getting up every 5 minutes to “have a wander”. Focus and enjoyment in what I do has made the working week more productive, and more enjoyable at the same time. For anyone who is a bit of a skeptic, I couldn’t recommend Will and Jess highly enough. Aside from helping me to feel energetic and happy, they’re also some of the nicest people I’ve met and very good at what they do. Big thumbs up from a stubborn mule.
