Deepak Chopra with Donna

Donna with Dr. David Simon

Meditation is one of the most powerful tools there is to help us access our body's inner intelligence and restore its natural balance and harmony. In meditation, we tap into the inner silence in our mind and make it part of our daily life. Silence is the birthplace of happiness. It is where we get our bursts of inspiration, our tender feelings of compassion, our sense of love. Meditation is a journey to freedom and self-knowledge.

Primordial Sound Meditation is a very exact form of meditation. It uses specific sounds called mantras which help our awareness settle down to quieter, more peaceful levels. These individually selected mantras act as a vehicle to reconnect our lives with the universal life force or Spirit that flows through all creation.

By reducing stress and fatigue, meditation allows us to regain a sense of purpose and focus in our life. As our true potential unfolds, energy, contentment and well being return to our lives. There is a misconception that we meditate to escape; in fact, it's quite the opposite. The goal of meditation is to enrich every aspect of our daily living.

Primordial Sounds are the basic, most essential sounds of nature, like the sound of the wind or the rain. They are sounds in their purest form. The specific sounds which are used in Primordial Sound Meditation are mantras. We use these mantras to silently take our awareness away from the busy activity of the mind, thus calming and soothing mind, body and soul.

At its most subtle level, everything in creation is sound or vibration. The universe also has its own vibration which changes periodically during the cycle of the moon. In Primordial Sound Meditation, we use the ancient system of Vedic mathematics to identify the sound or vibration of the universe at our time of birth. This was the moment when our awareness became completely localized into our individual body. When used in meditation as part of our mantra, this sound has the effect of reconnecting our awareness with the universal aspect of our lives.

Today doctors are increasingly citing stress as a major factor in most illnesses. Even though meditation should not be considered a cure by itself, research has shown it to be beneficial for a wide range of health problems. As stress is gradually eliminated through Primordial Sound Meditation, our minds and bodies begin to function with maximum effectiveness, creating health, vitality and happiness.

Primordial Sound Meditation is easily learned by people of every age, education, culture and religion. We just need to allow time to meditate regularly every day. Any other changes will come naturally and spontaneously as old, unwanted habits start falling away and a healthier, more positive lifestyle emerges.
