Vedic Meditation and TM.
Jocelyn Lea teaches Vedic Meditation and was trained to teach this form of meditation by Thom Knoles, who continues to teach Vedic Meditation. Thom was trained as a teacher of Transcendental Meditation (“TM”) by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (“Maharishi”), and taught it for over 25 years with organisations affiliated with Maharishi. Since 1997, Thom has continued to teach meditation as he learned it from Maharishi, and has done so independently and separately from the TM organisations.
Jocelyn Lea is an independent meditation teacher. She is not affiliated in any way with the Maharishi Foundation, or with any trademark, program or organisation that is affiliated with, or a licensee of, the Maharishi Foundation.
The form of meditation that Thom Knoles taught for over 25 years with the TM organisations has been the subject of hundreds of scientific studies showing a wide range of benefits from regular practice. These studies, which refer to this form of meditation using the name “Transcendental Meditation” or “TM”, support the benefits obtainable from regular practice of Vedic Meditation.
