    • Ongoing support and the ability to attend any group course or meditation groups

Course Fees (see table below):

The majority of Vedic meditation teachers charge $1,000, that was the sum I too paid. However, I have opted to use the model based on a self-nominated sliding scale for the course contribution.

This was the way it was originally taught and I re-introduced this over Covid as some people were decimated financially while other businesses were booming. And this scale makes it more affordable for all. Back in ancient India, if you were a potato farmer you would bring along a weeks worth of potato’s to the teacher, a gold merchant a weeks worth of gold etc.

Students nominate their course fee. It is based on the household gross income not an individuals income. It is an honour system and you will not be asked to show proof of income.

Jeff's story, Arriving at meditation after medication, psychologists and councilors

“The course I completed with Rich Muir on the practice of Vedic meditation has been life changing. What led me to this course: After many years of working in stressful service and sales positions and having marriage breakdowns I finally cracked. At 62 years of of age I couldn’t do life anymore. I awoke one night and felt like I was having a heart attack. It was frightening at first with my heart racing and my limbs feeling numb and my lungs gasping for breath. Eventually I settled down but when I went to the doctors the next day and told him what had happened he told me that i had had
an anxiety attack and could of had a stroke. My concern was that I really didn’t care if I had died.

My doctor suggested taking a couple of weeks off work but after another month nothing had changed. I eventually had to resign from my job. I couldn’t think, I couldn’t face customers or meet budgets. I just wanted to hide. I wanted my cave.

When I reflect Over the past few years I had been to psychologist, counselors, prescribed antidepressants and other medications. Nothing had worked. Nothing made me feel any better. I couldn’t sleep, I was getting fat, overeating all the wrong types of food, not exercising and drinking too much to escape. To escape what I couldn’t fix. I had been able to fix anything as an electrical engineer in the mines but I couldn’t fix me. I had lost my way. I needed to do something.

I felt like my body and mind were in different places..

I started reading all different types of self help book, I read a book from the library called “ the effortless mind” by Will Williams on Vedic meditation. Something inside me knew this form of meditation was for me. I searched on line and found that Rich Muir was conducting a course in Brisbane in January. I had to see it was for me so I booked in.

When I told friends and family I got mixed reviews. My mates at pool said I would be wearing orange robes and chanting at next weeks comp while my family were supportive and just wanted their husband, son, father and grandfather back. I had lost my way.

The course I attend on Vedic Meditation run by Rich was enlightening. I was given my mantra and joined the small group to learn the practice. I didn’t find it hard to relax with Rich and after each session it seemed to get easier to relax.

Since the course Rich has followed up and I am finding that the practice is about letting go of all thoughts. Sounds strange but I am finding that by Letting your own mind play out each thought as It comes into your mind It lets both sides of your mind create, examine, play out and release all these thoughts.

After the 2 x 20 mins I do each day I open my eyes and as well as feeling relaxed the world around me seems clearer. I feel No stress, no anxiety, no negatives thoughts. It sometimes makes me smile.
I can honestly say I am slowly but surely finding the path of my life’s journey.
I am centering my mind and finding direction and peace. Allowing what happens to just happen I am so much more relaxed about the future and putting the past where it belongs.

I want to thank Rich and would recommend and encourage everyone to find their own journey through this practice.”

Queries on cost

When it comes to the investment for the course, some people are a little surprised whilst others are not. And I have to say I totally get it. When I learnt the technique I paid my teacher $1,000 and when I told my wife I was going to pay that to learn to meditate, she more than rolled her eyes…

But I just knew the technique was for me. Having failed and explored many other forms of meditation for 8 years but I knew I needed to meditate. And with the Vedic technique from the outset, there was something that really resonated about the history, the technique, the science and the mantras that called to me.

Yet I still had to get my head around the cost, with 3 children and living costs it seemed like a lot at first. However, when I consider it compared to learning Vipassana (10 day noble silence meditation retreats) I had to give up 2 weeks of work and a donation. So in hindsight, giving up 2 weeks of work plus the donation, the cost far exceeded the investment in the Vedic technique.

Here’s a few comparisons to highlight the value of Vedic Meditation:

  • Four sessions with a psychologist @ $250 a n hour = $1,000
  • If you do a Gym/Yoga/Pilates class the average class is about $15-20 so if you went once a week that’s $884-1000 for 1 year.
  • Car registration approximately $750
  • House insurance over $1,000
  • Coffee a day for year over $1,500

You get the idea. Where as this is a technique you will use for a lifetime, and you get free access to group meditations around the world with other Vedic Meditation teachers (and with us), ongoing support and you can re-sit the course again if you want a refresher.

Beyond all that, the benefits of this investment in yourself far outweigh the cost as you will be living a happier, less stressed, more present, creative and peaceful life, and that is why many students who have learnt this technique believe it to be the best investment they have made and call it priceless.
