Does Vedic Meditation solve all our problems? And if it’s so good, why are some Vedic meditators less than perfect?
In this Ask Thom Anything episode, Thom explores the impacts of Vedic Meditation in response to questions from listeners.
Questions include: a query about the compatibility of Vedic Meditation with talk therapy; an investigation into the characteristics of Vedic meditators; and an enquiry into why Vedic Meditation might be more effective than some other spiritual practices.
The episode gives food for thought, for meditators and non-meditators alike.
