“You deserve the best.
Never feel unworthy or
not justified in having the best.
I tell you this is your heritage;
but you have to accept it,
you have to expect it.
You have to claim it.
To do so is not demanding too much.”

- Guru Dev, Swami Brahmananda Saraswati.

Meditation is an easy to learn practice that provides significant benefits in all areas of life. Research shows that meditation can improve the REM sleep state by up to 60%. It can greatly assist you with gaining a new perspective on stressful situations, increasing self awareness and focussing on the present moment.

Some of the other many benefits of meditation include:

  • Greater clarity and focus

  • Relief from depression, anxiety and other health conditions and improved immunity

  • Improved quality of relationships and lifestyle

  • Finding and maintaining inner happiness and fulfilment

  • Enhanced creativity

  • Reduced levels of fatigue and stress with greater levels of energy and improved sleep

Benefits of Meditation 

Vedic Meditation is the world's most effective and scientifically validated technique to eliminate stress. The practice is extremely effective, simple to learn and achievable. Just 20 minutes of Vedic Meditation brings immediate rest, relaxation and a gentle ease of the mind. Afterwards the mind is clear, fresher and more alert and content. Our true awareness shifts and we respond to our day-to-day life in a completely different way. 

Unlike other meditation techniques Vedic Meditation is effortless. All the energy that is needed is to simply sit and stay comfortable. There is no anticipation, no expectation of any results. What needs to surface will surface, what needs to be experienced will be experienced, all in an organic process naturally.

The personal mantra that you are given during the initial course will gently allow you to settle into quieter, more peaceful states of mind, triggering a profound state of rest within the body.

Student Testimonials

  • "I started Vedic Meditation with Scotty a little over a year ago. I’d heard about him offering to teach Meditation and given the situation I was in mentally and physically, I knew I had to reach out to him. It’s helped me so much. I would say that Vedic Meditation pretty much saved me from a rough road I was heading down where stress and anxiety was going to either give me a stroke or heart attack. I have still a long way to go but I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Cheers to Scotty and Vedic Meditation."

    Shane - Crane Operator - Upper Hunter Valley

  • "My introduction to Vedic Meditation with Scotty over the 4 days was amazing. I am doing the meditation in the mornings and it’s now setting me up for the day feeling calmer and happier. I have only missed 3 days since learning and boy was it missed greatly. But I have found that I still haven’t gotten into the habit for the evening one, But I am trying. Scotty is amazing teacher. From the first meeting with him you know you are in very capable hands. His knowledge and dedication are amazing. I highly recommend Vedic Meditation. "

    Kerrie - Retired -  Port Stephens 

  • "Scotty introduced me to Vedic Meditation many years ago. Knowing him for most of my life I was inquisitive in the changes he had made which led to many conversations. To say it changed my life is an understatement. When our life’s journey is not being kind to us, it's great to have a strong base to enable you to process life. Such a simple practice with maximum benefits. Me personally, my family and work have all enjoyed the benefits of my consistency with Vedic Meditation."

Vedic Meditation will be forever a part of my life thanks to Scotty. JGD. "

    Darci- Australia Yoga Teacher Training - Gold Coast, Qld 

  • "After completing my Vedic Meditation course with Scotty, I came away with the tools to include meditation as part of my daily routine.  This was the first time in many years of trying different forms of meditation that I have been able to understand and adopt a practice that I enjoy and look forward to each day. Scotty has so much knowledge and wisdom that is evident in his teaching. His way of teaching Vedic Meditation is supportive and encouraging. I have noticed a huge shift in my mood, focus and tolerance. I can now see exactly the impact Vedic Meditation has on my nervous systems, I didn't realise when I learnt this during the four-day course how quickly and profoundly the impacts would be on my day-to-day life. Thank you, Scotty. "

    Larissa Bowe, Tomaree High School

  • "I started working with Scotty as part of a pilot program at Mt. Arthur Coal to see if meditation could help improve safety, focus and productivity. As I had been doing guided meditation classes for some time, my next step was to learn how to meditate on my own. Scotty with his enthusiastic teaching style has given me those skills, which I can now do anyplace, anytime. Meditation is a great way to reduce my stress levels, particularly after a busy day and allows me time to focus on my mental health. The work with Scotty has been so beneficial we have continued to check-in even after the trial has ended. I strongly encourage you to give meditation a try."

    Jacqueline - Geologist - Upper Hunter
