About Vedic Meditation

This simple, effortless, mantra-based meditation practice uses a personalized sound to settle the mind naturally. There’s no need for concentration, breath control, or previous meditation experience. You don’t need to change your lifestyle or sit in any special position—just a comfortable chair and about 20 minutes with eyes closed, twice a day.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

As the mind gently settles during Vedic Meditation, the body experiences deep, restorative rest. This state of rest allows accumulated stress and fatigue to dissolve, often leading to better sleep, improved focus, greater emotional resilience, and more ease throughout daily life.

HOW CAN I LEARN?

Students learn the technique through in-person instruction and receive a personalized mantra or sound. With proper guidance and regular practice, Vedic Meditation becomes a reliable, sustainable tool for stress reduction, nervous system balance, and personal growth—whether you live locally in Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Petaluma, Healdsburg, or anywhere across the Bay Area.

FROM HAPPY MEDITATORS

  • "Three of the biggest benefits I’ve noticed are a deeper sense of inner calm, a younger look to my appearance, and a more steady connection to my intuition — even while life is full and fast. Dave’s generosity in sharing this wisdom continues to ripple through my life every day, and I’m so grateful to him for it."

    — JOSEPHINE AMBER

  • "David Leake has been a great example of how a student can rise to an exalted position as an effective teacher of Vedic Meditation. I highly respect him."

    — PHILIP SCHNEIDER

  • "I first met Dave in July of 2017, when I was taught Vedic Meditation. It has become a wonderful practice for me. I know Dave as a friend and now a confident teacher. I appreciate participating in his group meditations, his personal dedication to meditating, and his open response to answering questions I may have about my practice."

    — SUZANNE SACKETT

  • “For more than fifteen years I have watched Guru David study hard, work hard and blossom into a very dedicated Vedic Meditation teacher.  Many teachers know how to teach but very few really “get” it. David is one of those teachers that get it and the world is a better place because of him.”
