FAQ

  • What is Meditation?

    Meditation is a tool for rediscovering the body’s own inner intelligence. Practiced for thousands of years, it’s not about forcing the mind to be quiet; it’s about finding the silence that’s already there and making it a part of your life. Meditation fits in with your daily self-care and leads to wellness; you brush your teeth, wash your face, and now, you meditate.

    Don’t let the “primordial” scare you. Primordial refers to the sounds of nature like thunder, wind, and rain. We use the sounds that the ‘verse puts out. Specifically, the sound the ‘verse was making when and where you were born.

    There’s a Vedic calculation to find what sound the universe was making when you were born. We have a ceremony that we perform when you are ready to receive your Personal Mantra. It’s a traditional ceremony that’s been performed for over 5000 years.

  • How will Primordial Sound Meditation affect my health?

    Doctors increasingly cite stress as a significant contributing factor to most illnesses. Even though meditation should not be considered a cure, research has shown it to be beneficial for many health problems. As stress is significantly eliminated through Primordial Sound Meditation, our minds and bodies begin functioning with maximum effectiveness, creating health, vitality, and happiness.

    “Everyone wants to go to the party. No one wants to stay home and clean up.”

    -Ronin

    We didn’t get where we are with our health overnight. If we intend to change anything, we have to make small and permanent habit changes. Primordial Sound mediation is the tool that gets you there.

  • But why primordial sound meditation?

    When we meditate using a primordial sound mantra assigned to us at birth, we dive into the cosmic vibration of infinite possibilities. This is why we don’t listen to music or talk (too much) during meditation. When you take your PSM class, I calcualte the sound the universe was making on the day, time and locaiton of your birth. We then use that sound as your personal mantra.

    In Primordial Sound Meditation, you align your body, mind, and soul to the vibration the ‘verse was making when yo were born. What could be better than Source giving you instructions for health and wellness that you don’t need to understand or decode? It’s cosmic, baby!

    But why? Why not Zen Buddhist Meditation or Transcendental or Tibetan or Cambodian?

    Meditation comes in many forms and what might work for some, may not work for others. Primordial Sound Medtiation is the quickest, easiest and gentlest way to slip into a pool of infinate consciousness. It is based on a system developed 5000 years ago in India. We are hedging our bets on the Vedas having gotten this right so long ago and we are backing up our bets with science and evidence-based results.

  • Is Meditation Considered Prayer?

    Prayer is when you are talking to God and meditation is when God is talking to you.

    God exists in a place beyond spacetime. This field of silence is the birthplace of happiness, creativity, and infinite possibilities. From this field of pure potentiality, we get our bursts of inspiration, our most intuitive thoughts, and our deepest sense of connection to the Universe. Practicing meditation daily allows us to weave silence and stillness into our minds and bodies to create a life of greater compassion and fulfillment. Meditation is a journey to the center of our very being, a journey to emotional freedom, and a journey to the reawakening of our unconditional self.

  • "I've tried meditation before, I just can't quiet my mind! Why should I try meditation with you?

    Been there! Done that! We have tried many different types of meditation including zen and transcendental. Anyone telling you that you just need to try harder to quiet your mind is trying to sell you something that can’t be bought. Our minds were made to have thoughts. Primordial Sound Meditation gives you a mantra to focus on so your brain doesn’t have to fight the thoughts. It’s a process. We must trust the process.

  • Uh, Yeah. I am not religious OR I'm not changing my religion and you can't make me.

    Good. We like you just the way you are. No religion is taught here. Come as you are. We are not a religious organization. As we like to tell our clients, you don’t have to be religious to understand these concepts, but it helps.

  • What clothes should I wear? What food should I eat?

    Wear what you have on and eat what you like. We can develop a food list specific to your body type (dosha), when you come in for an Ayurvedic appointment.

  • I don't do New Age Woo-Woo

    Phew! Neither do we. We are old-age– tried and tested. Everything we teach is founded on 5000 years of tradition from the Rishis in India and backed by evidence-based science

  • I love Jesus. Is Meditation against his teachings?

    I love Him too. He also meditated. When you put Him first, you can’t go wrong.

  • I don't have a lot of time and I am done spending money on gadgets

    Well, friend. You’ve come to the right place. Daily mediation is what you make it and Primordial Sound Meditation requires two things for success:

    1. The ability to close your eyes.

    2. The ability to be seated or be in a comfortable position.

    No gadgets, no special gear. Deelyboppers are optional.

  • Ayur-what? Seriously, it's 2024, why are you talking about this ancient Indian stuff?

    Health, longevity, and vibrancy of life are all tied into what we eat, when we eat, where we live, and what we consume. This “Indian stuff” has been freeing people from the revolving door of pill-popping for over 5,000 years. Western Medicine is great. I am all for using it in acute situations.. In the meantime, why not live the healthiest life you can?

  • What are the Doshas?

    “Dosha” is the Sanskrit word for body constitution. Essentially, what you are comprised of.

    Each dosha is derived from the building blocks of nature–the five elements of space, air, fire, water, and earth–and represents a unique blend of physical, emotional, and mental characteristics inherent in every person. Everyone has all three doshas–but the amount of each we’re born with varies. That blend of doshas is what makes up each person’s individual dosha type. You can take our customized dosha quiz in Class One to find out your own elemental makeup.

    Vata represents movement and the qualities of space and air.

    Pitta represents transformation and the qualities of fire and water.

    Kapha represents structure and the qualities of earth and water.

Instead, I help you use our own intuition, and our own spirit, to guide our choices, assess our needs, and establish healthy patterns of alignment toward self-realization.
