For the highly strung, yes this speaks to me, constantly hearing You need to find your quiet place or have you considered meditating can actually be a positive summon for action- or for the followers of Vedic Meditation, a call to do nothing at all, while finding your inner wakefulness beyond thought. A profound way of seeing the world, Veda is a 5,000 year old body of wisdom- an ancient record of spiritual experience- and is the source of yoga, Ayurvedic medicine- think Deepak Chopra- and Indian philosophy.
One of the world’s most sought-after Maharishi and celebrated speaker on the health of mind and body is Vedic Master Thom Knoles. Widely recognized as one of the most experienced and revered teachers, Knoles was born to American parents in post-war Europe, grew up traveling extensively and was educated in Southeast Asia, Hawaii, California and Washington DC. Interested in Eastern philosophy and an alternative approach to psychology, this great seer became an acclaimed teacher of yoga and meditation before the age of 20, having trained with Maharashi Mahesh yogi in India and Europe.
Personally teaching tens of thousands worldwide- even King Birendra of Nepal in the Himalayas- Knoles, who is based in Australia, has been bringing Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco into a teaching tour vortex for the past decade, where you may find him in deep silence mode with heads of major Hollywood studios, heads of state, and even nobel peace prize laureates- additionally, he has done extensive consulting work with major Australian corporations. I had a brief encounter with Knoles last year and his charisma and calming light still stays with me, even when I manage to get myself all wound up. I keep thinking I need to seek out his teachings in an effort to tame my alpha-female ways… if I could only sit still long enough. www.thomknoles.com
