• Jai Guru Deva ♥

    Welcome, beautiful meditators! This page is designed to motivate and inspire our daily practice, and I'm so thrilled that you've found your way here.
     

    More than anything we'll find on this page, the most beneficial gift that we can give ourselves is to continue to close our eyes for 20 minutes, twice a day, and utilize our practice exactly as we learned it. Simple. Natural. Innocent. Effortless.

     

    And, if we find ourselves having fallen off the wagon (don't feel bad, it happens!), please don't hesitate to get in touch with me so that I can help support you in integrating meditation back into your daily life. You and I both know that we much prefer to be an expression of our true inner nature as opposed to an expression of the stress we've collected over the years. And I'm here to support you in doing this, every step of the way.

     

    with Love and Jai Guru Deva,

    Rachel

    HOLD

    There is something incredibly powerful about meditating in a group. Not only do we tend to experience "deeper" meditations, but the power of community and building relationships is paramount to our ability to thrive as humans. Fortunately for us, there is a beautiful and continuously budding global meditation community, and I highly encourage you to take advantage of this and join us for group meditations, if it feels charming for you. The opportunity to gather with like-minded people tends to be an invaluable part of the meditation journey. We get to check-in, every week, which supports us in maintaining a regular practice, and we also have the opportunity to share our experiences, to ask questions about what's happening when our eyes are closed, and to chat about the world we're creating when our eyes are open.

    All students of Vedic Meditation and TM who have completed a 4-day/in-person course are welcome and invited to join. We start with a 20-minute meditation and then enjoy the remainder of the time we have together with Q+A and an exploration of the Vedic perspective on life.

    while I am on sabbatical, please be in touch with one of my amazing colleagues to be warmly welcomed into a network of worldwide in-person and online group meditations.

    ON

    HOLD

    Those who have learned how to round know that this industrial strength approach to our meditation practice is an invaluable and deeply profound tool. Incorporating rounding into our regular routine is extremely powerful at dissolving years of accumulated and deeply-rooted stress and fatigue. By regularly rounding, we accelerate the purification of our body and strengthen the physiology so that we can more easily access and enjoy the baseline of bliss that is resting naturally within each of us.

     

    And if you haven't yet learned how to round, check out info on rounding instruction below!

    All students of Vedic Meditation and TM who have attended a rounding retreat or have received rounding instruction from a qualified initiator are welcome and invited to join. Each week, we go through a self-guided round with a 'Jai Guru Deva' at each transition point.

    WOMEN'S

    GATHERING

    CURRENTLY

    ON

    HOLD

    It feels important that women gather together. That we have safe and sacred spaces to share our experiences and to learn from one another, especially among different generations. That we're able to laugh. To cry. To sing and dance. To express. To reflect. To celebrate. To grieve. To give. To recieve. To grow. To evolve. And to simply Be. Together. And at the heart of this monthly offering is my own curiosity about what “the feminine” truly means, and so, if nothing else, the intention behind these gatherings is that we have the space to anchor ourselves in Being and then to start uncovering all the mystery and all the beauty of feminine consciousness. Join me, and let's honor and reclaim divine feminine wisdom in its simplest, most natural, and most innocent sense.

    All women who have completed a 4-day/in-person Vedic Meditation or TM course are welcome and invited to join. We start with a 20-minute meditation and then enjoy the remainder of the time we have together exploring, questioning, integrating, embodying, honoring, discovering and reclaiming all aspects of the divine feminine expression of consciousness, in all her glory -- from the demure to the wild, the creator to the destroyer, the devoted to the worshipped. All is welcome here.

    PAST TOPICS OF EXPLORATION
    societal constructs of femininity
    emotions in the workplace
    feminine sexuality and sensuality
    moving through victimhood
    feminine playfulness
    creative expressions of feminine consciousness
    living in alignment with cycles
    healthy and sacred relationship with beauty
    passing feminine wisdom on to our children

  • ADVANCED

    PRACTICES

    From time-to-time, we may feel a desire to up our meditation game. We're very happy with our practice and the results we've been enjoying, yet, we can't help but notice a feeling, deep inside, that there's more for us to uncover...and we want it all! More tools for expansion. Faster purification. And specific practices to more deeply integrate the state of Being we experience when our eyes are closed with the everyday life we experience when our eyes are open. When this happens, it's a sign that we're ready to expand our toolkit with some advanced Vedic practices. These babies fast-track our progress and unleash our latent potential, launching our evolution to the next level.

    advanced

    techniques

    After every 12 months of regular and consistent practice, meditators looking to deepen their experience and accelerate their evolution are eligible to receive an advanced technique.

     

    Akin to upshifting and enjoying a smoother and faster ride while on the highway, advanced techniques are designed to take one’s awareness to the layer of consciousness that comprises the interface between thinking and pure silence. Repeated exposure to this subtle layer of consciousness allows us to integrate the incredibly charming state that we experience in our deepest meditations into the waking state of our everyday lives.

     

    Advanced Techniques are taught over two separate one-hour appointments. In the first private appointment, you receive your advanced technique. The second session then occurs within 10 days following the first session and involves checking your advanced technique and its correct usage, either privately or in a group setting.

    rounding

    instruction

    A round is an advanced practice where we add a series of gentle yoga postures, a simple breathing exercise, and an extended horizontal resting period to our regular 20-minute meditation. By doing this specific sequence and highly-refined combination of activities, we encourage the body to start letting go of stresses and prepare the mind for deep meditative experiences.

     

    This industrial-strength approach is relaxing, rejuvenating, and incredibly soothing and strengthening to the nervous system. It increases our adaptation energy, tenfold, so that we are better able to face the demands and challenges of life with grace and ease. Incorporating this practice into our regular routine is an extremely powerful way to dissolve years of accumulated stress and fatigue so that we can more easily access and enjoy the baseline of bliss that is resting naturally within each of us.

     

    And while the outcome of rounding is quite advanced and profound, the program itself is simple to learn and easy to practice. Rounding is suitable for everyone, from long-time yogis to absolute beginners of all shapes, sizes, and flexibility.

     

    The course of instruction is two hours and includes take home notes.

  • ADVANCED

    KNOWLEDGE

    There comes a point in every meditator's journey when we know that it's time to expand our thinking. We've been getting to the chair -- twice a day -- for quite some time, and the hardware has been well upgraded. We begin to feel ready for a complementary software upgrade, and the hunger for advancing our knowledge continues to grow. When this happens, the natural next step is to embark on advanced courses in Vedic Knowledge, where we fine-tune our thinking and really hone the ability to "correct the mistaken intellect." Here, we peel back decades of social conditioning and lift layer-after-layer of misunderstanding by re-awakening the universal knowledge of Veda from within. It is a deeply profound and truly enjoyable experience that is nothing short of life-changing!

    exploring

    the veda

    When we find ourselves feeling charmed to dive deeper into our practice, to fast-track our growth into higher states of consciousness, and to transform our experience of the waking state in nearly every way, then it's a pretty unambiguous sign that we're ready to embark on the journey of Exploring the Veda, a series of six non-residential retreat-style knowledge weekends enjoyed over the span of about a year.

     

    Often described by meditators as deeply profound and even transformational, these weekends consist of listening to recordings made by my inspiring and blissful teacher, Thom Knoles, who is recognized as one of the world's foremost masters of Veda and its true meaning and application in today's modern world. In these recordings, Thom distills the whole of the Veda — known to be the blueprint of creation and to confer mastery of all the laws of nature — in a very relatable and applicable way. He delves deeply into the Vedic Worldview and draws out pearls of wisdom with life-changing practical application.

     

    In between recordings -- where we are learning techniques for deepening meditation, for embodying expanded consciousness states, for correcting the mistakes of the intellect, and for creating life experiences that reveal true fulfillment -- we enjoy in-depth discussion about this supreme knowledge and how we can integrate it into our daily lives. We reserve plenty of time to answer all of the questions that bubble up as a result of re-awakening this wisdom within ourselves, and we make sure to nourish our bodies with freshly-cooked, organic, vegetarian meals and snacks throughout the weekend.

     

    It's a truly beautiful experience, the benefits of which are plentiful, ongoing, and self-evident, and the memories and new friendships of which are not soon to be forgotten.

    mastering

    the siddhis

    Twenty-seven centuries ago, a great Seer by the name of Maharishi Patanjali cognized his masterpiece, The Yoga Sutras.

     

    Yoga is the experience of unity of one's individuality with Universality, and a sutra is a consciousness formula. In his treatise, Maharishi Patanjali describes the method for achieving mastery of the relationship between individual human potential and Universal laws of nature, yet very few masters have been able to fully comprehend Patanjali's teachings and techniques at their deepest level. Consequently, the fullness of Patanjali's works have mostly faded into obscurity.

     

    In recent time, however, these teachings have been revived within the Vedic tradition, and in this six-part course, Thom teaches Maharishi Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras comprehensively and in the way Pantajali intended – through direct experience and embodiment of each Sanskrit sutras in order to develop mastery of the siddhis that derive from each of them.

     

    A siddhi is an extraordinary human power, a rare capability to interact with the laws of nature in order to manifest desires, and the power to engage with the laws of nature in a way that results in a life lived in harmony and alignment with them from one's own deep level of bliss consciousness.

     

    As we progress through each of the installments, we learn how to awaken extraordinary sensory perception, how to discover the inner workings of the human body, how to gain Universal Awareness, and how to harness the full support of the laws of nature.

     

    Once mastered, the siddhis are considered to be the most powerful and advanced technique in a meditator's repertoire.

     

    A note from Thom Knoles on Mastering the Siddhis

    PRE-REQUISITES

    Thom designed this course exclusive for the advanced Vedic Meditator. As such, all students registering for Mastering the Siddhis must have completed Exploring the Veda 1 - 6 or must complete the equivalent installment of Exploring the Veda for each installment of Mastering the Siddhis. For example, completion of ETV1 before taking MTS1 and completion of ETV2 before taking MTS2, etc.

     

    The complete Mastering the Siddhis course is broken down into six installments, each of which provides a new advanced practice with enormous lifelong benefit. Each of the non-residential weekend courses can be enjoyed individually, with no obligation to complete all six. However, the course must be completed in sequential order, as each installment leads naturally into the next.

  • EVERETT, PA /

    rounding immersion

    september 11-15, 2023

    Nothing accelerates purification of the nervous system and expands our experience of everyday life quite like the profound art of rounding. During this weekday immersion, we will connect deeply with ourselves, with other like-minded meditators, and with nature, by diving into a robust daily meditation program (getting up to 7 hours in one day), bathing in supreme knowledge sessions, enjoying beautiful morning and evening rituals, and having the opportunity for 1:1 check-ins. In addition, we will support and nourish our bodies with freshly-cooked vegetarian meals and snacks throughout the week.

     

    Meditators who have attended previous rounding retreats have reported feeling calmer, happier, and more grounded than when they arrived. They notice an enhanced sense of clarity and perceptual acuity that allows them to come away from the week with a more frictionless and blissful experience of daily life.

     

    This particular rounding retreat, to be held at River Mountain, has been purposefully designed for us to step away from our everyday demands in order to immerse in our practice and live in-tune with the rhythms of nature.

     

    We seem to be living in a time when stress is at an all-time high, and rounding is one of the most gentle and profound ways to let go of large amounts of stress. It is said that in a 5-day rounding retreat, meditators are able to release the equivalent amount of stress as 6-12 months of twice daily meditation.

     

    So go ahead and give yourself the gift of deep rest. We all deserve it.
