I've been teaching meditation for three years now and each time I instruct a new student I'm so pleased with the experiences they have and with the results they notice. Just last week, Stephanie who had been experimenting with several meditation techniques in the months prior happened onto The Chopra site and decided to take Primordial Sound Meditation.

After we spent a couple hours on the background, research, and origins of Primordial Sound Meditation it was time for her actual personal instruction. After we meditated for several minutes I asked her to open her eyes and with eyes beaming she said: "wow, that's amazing. . . and it's so easy." She came back two days later to finish the class and said "I'm still surprised how fast and how deeply I go into meditation now. It's so much easier than the other techniques I learned." She left that day very excited to see how this new meditation practice would affect her life.

In my talks on meditation I make a point of conveying that if anyone has tried meditation and found it difficult to not dismay. It's supposed to be easy, but without a full understanding or proper instruction the ease gets lost.

I've taught about 75 meditation students to date and many of them have remarked that meditating with a mantra (as given in Primordial Sound Meditation) is deeper and faster. Many of students have remarked that they were surprised at how enjoyable, easy and refreshing the meditation is for them. Many have said they've found a new calm and happiness in their lives and some have seen great changes and shifts take place (somewhat miraculously).

I'm so grateful to have been lead back to a regular meditation practice via my association with The Chopra Center. It is something I'm very passionate about and something I know that is so beneficial (and actually enjoyable) for people and for that reason I wanted to share with you some essential meditation principles.

Of course, if you would like to get more deeply into meditation or get a regular meditation practice going I'd highly recommend learning Primordial Sound Meditation. There are many certified instructors throughout the world, which you can find at www.Chopra.com. I teach classes in Colorado (and may even be able to teach in your area). I also offer private, one-on-one and corporate instruction.
