Ben’s meditation course helped me remove a lot of the mental clutter in my life. I am definitely an active mind person with many thoughts running through my brain that did lead to higher levels of stress and anxiety. I have found my meditation practice to be a fantastic stress reliever, allowing myself to discard some of the unnecessary thoughts. Overall my practice is helping me to take a more calm approach to life despite the constant roller coaster ride of life. I take those twenty minutes to truly let go and become centered. Ben is an amazing and giving teacher who is always there to help me improve my practice.

I originally sought out meditation to help with lower energy levels and reduced concentration from living in the city and like others, not sleeping a ton. Now I find myself feeling much more relaxed, and my body and mind both feel like they’re in a steady state of equilibrium. Meditation has made a profound impact on my relationships, I'm calmer and more patient with friends and strangers. I much more thoughtful these days, often times stepping back to assess situations and handle things with more tactfulness whether for work or in my personal life. I feel better. My sleep is deeper, I'm less stressed, my anxiety is lot a lower and I have more energy on a daily basis at work. Ben’s knowledge is immediately evident and he genuinely cares about each of his students – realizing we all have different lives and different goals for meditation. Instead of giving the crash course, he takes the time to explain each component of the practice, clearly explaining how and why meditating twice daily can improve the way we think and feel. Like anything else, what we put in to our meditation is ultimately what we get out. This is a great practice for everyday people who live a busy life, but want to improve themselves physically and mentally.

Just like many others who suffered from anxiety that came along with the day to day stresses of a fast paced working environment, my Sunday's were filled with the pending doom of what Monday would bring. Little to no sleep came with those nights, no amount of exercise seemed to help, and I was not interested in having to be medicated with sleeping pills for the rest of my life. It would take days to have some sense of normalcy return to my daily routine. The toll that this way of living had on my life became very noticeable, both physically and mentally. I had become impatient, uptight, tired and unaware. I knew I had stumbled upon something remarkable when within the first two days of practicing meditation with Ben, I no longer needed a pill to get through a Sunday night's sleep. With each day of practice comes new personal breakthroughs. Along with sleeping through the night, I need less sleep to wake up feeling refreshed and tackle a long work day. My professional life has improved with a new found sense of patience I had been lacking. A general sense of well being, clarity and awareness follow me throughout the day. My personal relationships have seen drastic improvements, so much so that my wife is fully committed to learning the practice herself. I am in the best physical shape I have ever been in. As a teacher, Ben took the time to address every one of his students and their concerns surrounding this new and life changing practice before, during and after class. He is truly committed to his students well being and sharing the wealth of knowledge he has obtained. I am truly grateful to have found Ben and this meditation practice.

When I decided to take Ben’s meditation course, I was seeking a way to increase my energy level and improve my reaction to stress at work. As a public relations professional who is constantly multi-tasking in a fast paced industry, I was having trouble staying focused and calm during my busy days. Since I started meditating in April 2014, I have experienced improvements in these areas, along with numerous other benefits that I didn't even anticipate. I now sleep better and need less sleep to feel fully rested. I have more energy throughout the day and am more focused in both my personal and professional life. Before meditation, I looked toward exercise as a way to relieve stress, but now I work out because I truly enjoy it. At work, I am known as calm, cool and collected by my colleagues and I've recommended Ben’s course to many others in my profession, who have also had wonderful experiences. Ben’s deep understanding of this ancient practice and his ability to help his students fit meditation into their busy schedules has been a real asset to me as my practice has evolved. Since I started meditating, I wouldn't say that I've become a different person, just that I am now the best version of myself. I can’t imagine my life without meditation and only wish I had found it sooner.

Ben Turshen is not only a kind, compassionate, person, but an extremely detailed educator. After taking his 4 day Vedic meditation basic training I am confident that I will be supported as I expand my meditation practice. The training was interactive, interesting and engaging. Ben is an extremely knowledgeable, well-versed teacher. He creates a safe space to explore, grow and connect. He shares some of his own personal experiences and guides students to correct technique that should lead to life changing results. I'm excited to see how my life morphs from his teachings.
