Meditation: A lifestyle choice

I have to say I didn’t expect it to have such an impact on me so soon. It’s made me realise the extent to which my body and mind were all over the place and out of sync. Each time I meditate my nervous system is buzzing all over my body, almost like pins and needles but without the awkwardness…..a very nice experience! Also when I’m not meditating I get the sensation and it makes me think my nervous system needs a LOT of resetting and it feels like it is smoothing out very quickly.. Every time I used to make lunch or wash up etc. I would put the radio on for company as I wasn’t comfortable with my own thoughts. The last 2 days I haven’t listened to the radio in these circumstances as I feel more at peace with myself….it makes me smile! Thank you ever so much for teaching this to me, This feels like a new me, one i’m super happy and comfortable with!

I used to practice Vipassana meditation and I whilst I loved it, I needed to find something that I could more easily integrate into my life. Will has given me a totally different approach of what meditation can be and provided me with this amazing new tool that allows me to tune into myself easily and without strain. I must say I am truly grateful to Will and Jess for having woken up and expanded all this inner knowledge, it has helped me to become more connected with myself and with those around me. Will is a truly dedicated teacher who is always there for you once the course has finished and he is such an inspiring person.

I attended Will’s beginner’s Meditation Course in October 2013 and have not looked back since. Will and I met at just the right time in my life. I have a relatively stressful job and was finding it increasingly harder to manage my day and was getting quite worked up. I needed something to help me take my mind off things and to try to relax a bit more. Having spent a weekend learning with Will, I now have the tools I need to concentrate more, to relax and not get so stressed over the little things in life. I have a new outlook on life. I can notice a big difference in myself and others around me have said it to me too. Vedic mediation is so easy, I don’t know why I hadn’t tried it sooner. I had bought all the books, CDs and iPhone Apps out there on relaxation and “mindfulness”. None of them worked as well as Vedic meditation. I am so happy with the way it has gone and the difference that it makes to my life that I am always preaching the “gospel according to Will” to friends and family members. Try it, you won’t regret it! Another great add on to the meditation are the skills I learned on Will’s rounding retreat. It’s 4 days or bliss and relaxation in a beautiful environment. Many thanks to Will and Jess. Without you I would have a lot more grey hair and would probably have burned out sooner rather than later!

It has been an absolute pleasure to learn this technique. and put it into practice. I have been getting more and more into it, and the benefits are just amazing. Part of me feels it must be psychosomatic, but I feel better. so MUCH better, that it can’t be simply that. I really cannot explain, except that I feel the transformation in my body, and my soul. I am not skeptical, I am simply surprised that I feel so good so fast. Will, you are a fantastic, truly fantastic teacher. You transpire the absolute balance between passion for the technique and its effects, with openness and knowledge that is absolutely phenomenal. I truly cannot explain this, but whatever it is, it is absolutely incredible.

I have been practicing different types of meditation for the past 2 years and was very interested to learn Vedic meditation. I was hoping to get some general well-being benefits some time down the line and did not expect that it would totally rock my world! The very next day I started waking up before my alarm and now I wake up around 6 am every morning. I have been getting enough sleep every night due to deep rest during meditation. I also found that it is a lot easier to get into the meditative state while practicing Vedic mediation compared to mindfulness, awareness and Kriya… I find meditation incredibly rewarding, I have not skipped a single one. On the contrary, I look forward to practicing every morning and evening. An interesting thing happened just 4 daysafter I have learned it. I run a half marathon (which I have only done 3 times prior). The last one was 4 months ago and because of the summer holidays I pretty much did not train for this race. I run 14 mins faster thanmy last race and was really surprised with the result! Since I have learned I have a lot more energy throughout the day and feeling so upbeat I have gone through my long to-do list and now working on projects I have started and never finished long time ago. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I just wish everybody had a chance to learn this, it’s truly a miracle! Will and Jess are so lovely and knowledgeable, they will help and guide you through any challenges you have.

Amazing teacher, amazing courses and retreats, couldn’t ask for more. Would highly recommend Will’s courses to everyone from all walks of life and of all ages.

This is the first time that I’ve truly stopped and relaxed since I had my little boy three years ago. It feels so nice!

I meditated 4 times on the flight home and had zero jet lag as you promised. Felt fantastic!

I just wanted to say a very warm thank you to both you and Jess for this weekend. I really had no idea that it would make such an impact on me. I came into work this morning and I feel like a totally different person. About 5 people have come up to me today to ask me if I’d been on holiday as I look like I am glowing (apparently!). How freaky is that?! I woke up at 6.30am this morning to do my first meditation of the day. I NEVER wake up at 6.30am for anything other than skiing. But I got up, pottered around for a bit and did my first meditation. Came into work this morning (I was early for the first time in 7 years) feeling happy and positive. This is so far away from how I have been feeling for the last 4 months, that I hardly recognise myself. If this is what Vedic meditation does for me after only 3 days, I am telling you now that you have a lifelong convert on your hands! Thank you both so much from the bottom of my heart. Feeling slightly emotional as I write this as I didn’t realise how much I needed it. I introduced Tim to it thinking that he needed it but as it turns out, I have needed this as much as he did.

My friend Mat had been doing this meditation for a long time and kept telling me I should do it, but for some reason I just couldn’t understand how it worked or how it could be good for me. Having finally decided to take the course, I can genuinely say that Will really did change my life. Initially, nothing immediate or that profound arose, but over time I am seeing my considerable positive changes in my life. I have more energy, I sleep better, my thinking is much clearer and I am way, way happier. The reason I came to Will was because I had recently been diagnosed with something called Meniere’s disease, a condition that is apparently related to stress and lifestyle issues. Since I’ve been meditating twice a day, I am no longer feeling many of the effects of the condition. It hasn’t gone away entirely but I now feel I have an ability to control situations again. I feel better able to manage myself and the anxiety that I have been experiencing for some time. I am also feeling so much more creatively inspired. I am recommending Will’s technique to everyone who I speak to. There are loads of people around me who are asking why I am so positive and chilled out lately, and I find myself recommending Will’s technique to everyone who asks. Having seen and enjoyed the benefits of having a calmer husband, my wife is about to start the course too. Thanks a million Will!

I had been attempting to practise mindfulness for about 15 years but could never really clear my busy mind of thoughts and I always felt like a bit of a failure because of it. Vedic meditation turned out to be exactly what I was looking for: a very practical, very easy way of meditating. All I had to do was repeat the mantra Will gave me. Having meditated for four months, twice a day, I’ve already felt a significant difference in my life: There’s a greater sense of underlying calm, a clearer perspective on the little dramas which no longer seem to affect me, and i’m convinced it has helped me to quit smoking too. I now feel I’m at the beginning of a lifelong journey – there is so much to discover it seems! Will is a very sincere and engaging exponent of this great knowledge.

This is the first time that I’ve truly stopped and relaxed since I had my little boy three years ago. It feels so nice!

I learned 5 weeks ago and my experience has been super positive. My anxiety and depression is lifting, I’m sleeping like a log, I have waves of energy, am super productive at work and less reactive to potentially stressful situations. My friends and colleagues have noticed how much calmer, balanced and happier I seem. I treasure the glimpses of bliss and tranquility I get to experience when I do this. Thank you!

I want to say thank you so much for providing an excellent learning experience. I enjoyed the beginners course so much and I’m glad I’ve finally learnt how to meditate! The entire process from signing up, to the detailed/informative pre-course emails, the professionalism during course, the tea… has all been great and exceeded my expectations.  I want you both to know you’re doing an amazing job and providing a great service. Please continue to do so!

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!
