Live a life of less grind and more flow.
We live in a world that prizes critical, analytical thinking and effort. (We effort the hell out everything.) And yet the best experiences in life, when we’re in the zone, in the flow of the present moment, are when we’re barely thinking and not trying. But for most people these flow states are rare and fleeting. Why? Because we often find our minds are spinning out of control, a non-stop stream of brain chatter Buddhists call “The Monkey Mind.”
Sound familiar?
Come join Vedic Meditation master James Brown for a unique meditation course in which you’ll discover the two forces that prevent us from being present, and learn FLOW Meditation, a simple, powerful technique that's based on an ancient Vedic practice. FLOW Meditation engages your mind’s natural ability to settle on its own without focusing or concentrating or trying to control it. (Yes, even your mind.)
Over the course of a few weeks you'll learn how to meditate successfully and effectively on your own, using a proper bija mantra (bija means seed in Sanskrit), and you'll also learn some mindfulness, breathwork and visualization techniques so that by the end of the course you have a full bag of tools you can use everyday to be less stressed, more grounded, less stuck in your head and more in the flow of life.
