PSM TRAINING:
BASIC VERSION

It offers concentrated teaching of the four original sessions in a 2-hour class: philosophy, a private mantra instruction & cues into a steady practice + a follow-up Zoom 30-minute session for final questions about mantra and meditation techniques.

Final note:

Primordial Sound Meditation serves those who are ready for a profound and steady meditation practice, but don’t have the time or interest in attending a yogic institution, or belonging to a specific lineage to receive their personal mantra. Primordial Sound Meditation mantras are everyone’s birthright since they’re given through **Vedic astrology, an ancient and living Himalayan practice.**

“The Vedas contain the basis for the spiritual traditions of India that arose in the Himalayan region, including those of Yoga, Vedanta, Puranas, Tantra, Ayurveda and Vedic astrology.”

— Dr. David Frawley (The American Institute of Vedic Studies)
