I mean inner lightness, that kind of sensation of not being burdened by something. And, it's possible to carry a burden and feel elevated. It's a state of being able to see different possibilities, rather than just what's right in front of us.

Firstly, I wanted to acknowledge you for continuing to look for what would work for you. Like you, I tried guided meditation, talk and art therapy, even medication, and none of that made a lot of lasting difference. The practices I'm bringing you here have been carefully curated, tried out, and some of them studied by scientists. You should feel an immediate (but transient) difference, and a lasting improvement within a month or 2. If you don't notice ANY changes CONTACT ME, and we'll work together on this. You CAN cancel anytime.

One of the techniques we'll be practicing here is pranayama, the root of all the modern "breathwork". These practices have been around for at least 3,000 years, and have been extensively studied by modern science. They are very safe and effective in managing mental and physical conditions when done as directed. Some "modern breathwork" techniques are VERY advanced practices that are taught to people who don't have the skill, knowledge, and capacity to carry out these practices, which can result in a detrimental experience. We are not going there, but you'll definitely learn the foundations for exploring these techniques, if you choose to.

In short, not all meditation is equal. Practices like "guided meditation" (aka guided visualization) have a short-lasting relaxing effect, but don't do much for rewiring your brain or balancing your nervous system. Meditation from the lineage of Kundalini Yoga (SevaRam's jam), Taoist, and transcendental meditation have been shown to have the biggest positive effect on the brain. Breathwork (pranayama) has the fastest capacity to affect and balance the nervous system. Mindfulness (aka being fully preset in the moment) is a part of all the meditation, and can be also practiced by itself. We will be working on deepening that skill, as it's the basis of wellbeing. Anyone can learn that!

We vary the times and days, so that the members can attend them live at least occasionally.

The summer schedule is not our typical: Wednesday, July 9th at 7PM ET (60 mins) is our theme meeting, and Ask Me Anything (AMA) is on Thursday, July 24th at 7PM (30 mins or more if required).

Our August theme meeting is on July 31st (Thursday) at 8PM ET, and AMA is on Wednesday, August 13, 8:30PM ET.

I welcome members' suggestions as to their preferred times, and will try to accommodate if possible.

Meditate To Elevate goes over basics of mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork, mantra and mudra. It offers some short practices you can get started with. You do NOT have to go over any of that before you join us live. I do encourage you to familiarize yourself with the material, it might answer some questions that are common for those starting with these practices.

Yes! We have a library of recordings of short but potent practices that you can try out to get a feel for which practices are the most impactful for you. I encourage you to let me know which ones you like especially (and why), so that I can record more!

In addition, all the Theme meetings and AMAs recordings are there as well..

I hear you, and what you're experiencing is valid. Having ADHD, my earlier forays into meditation were hopeless efforts resulting in triggered states... People with autism have different consideration than people with ADHD as well... I have been educating myself on making this practice inclusive, and I endeavour to bring people diverse range of practices, so that everyone can discover what works best for them. Please reach out if you have specific concerns. I am convinced that everyone can find a way to practice that works for them.

Definitely! We'll work on finding you a comfortable position, sitting in a chair works for most people.

Email SevaRam at [email protected] . If you want to cancel before your next payment comes out, please give us at least 48 hrs in advance to stop the process.

The themes centre around relevant seasonal and social events in a given month. For example:

February: Let SelfLOVE Light Up the Dark. Actions and habits when driven by self-love have real sticking power! Deepen your self-love for a joyful life!

March: Awakening and Celebrating YOU! Discover how celebration can awaken and energize us to take new actions for a more fulfilling, happy life.

We are open to members' suggestions on the themes that are relevant to their lives!
