Primordial Sound Meditation
Primordial Sound Meditation is a time-tested meditation technique dating back thousands of years to the Vedic traditions of India. Drs. Chopra and Simon have revived this ancient process and made it available in a format that is easy for anyone to learn.
Our certified meditation instructors have the knowledge and skills to teach Primordial Sound Meditation, the most powerful tool we have for experiencing the profound peace and expanded awareness that lies beyond the mind’s noisy thought traffic.
You can easily learn Primordial Sound Meditation in four short sessions spaced over a period of just a few days. The process unfolds as follows:
Session One
Your Chopra Center–certified meditation instructor will introduce you to the basic principles of meditation, including its history and the importance of your mantra.
Session Two
You will receive personal instruction in your Primordial Sound mantra and learn how to use it. You will also experience your first meditation practice using your Primordial Sound mantra.
Session Three
In this session you will learn more about the healing benefits meditation creates for the mind and body. You will have an opportunity to share your experiences and get answers to any questions that have come up for you so far in your new meditation practice. The session concludes with a meditation guided by your instructor.
Session Four
In the final session, you will learn more about the higher states of consciousness that can be achieved with regular Primordial Sound Meditation practice. Your instructor will share Deepak Chopra’s vision of these higher states.
Primordial Sound Meditation is recommended for anyone who wishes to enjoy deeper peace, greater freedom, and mastery of life.

Perfect Health/Ayurveda
The Perfect Health course offers a five-step exploration of mind-body medicine and Ayurveda. The course is designed for the general public who have had little or no previous understanding of these concepts. Each of the five lessons includes instruction in the practical tools and techniques of mind-body medicine that participants can immediately begin using in their daily lives.
Session One
Your Chopra Center–certified Perfect Health instructor will introduce you to the foundational principles of Ayurveda, meditation, and yoga as well as the three primary mind-body doshas or personalities: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Through an in-depth questionnaire and analysis, you’ll discover your own dosha type.
Session Two.
In this session on “Food as Medicine,” you will learn how to select the most nourishing foods for your mind-body type. Your instructor will also guide you in Ayurvedic nutritional practices that will help you maintain vibrant health, appropriate weight, and optimized digestion.
Session Three.
This session focuses on the tools and practices of rejuvenation and renewal. You’ll learn how to identify and eliminate toxins that accumulate in the mind and body. In addition, you will be guided in gentle rejuvenating practices, holistic techniques to relieve stress and anxiety, a personal daily routine for balance and health, and the secrets of restful sleep.
Session Four.
Today you will learn why emotional freedom is the key to our physical, mental, and emotional health. Your instructor will teach you the practice of conscious communication, which can transform your relationships and help you experience more intimacy and joy in your life.
Session Five.
The final session delves into the healing power of the five senses: sound, touch, sight, taste, and smell. You’ll learn how to strengthen the body’s inner pharmacy by using specific tools that use each of the senses to heal, nourish, and balance your mind-body.

Vedic Masters
To earn the distinction of the title “Vedic Master,” a teacher must be certified in all three branches of the Chopra Center’s Teachers Path: Primordial Sound Meditation, the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga, and Perfect Health.
Our Vedic Masters have made a profound commitment to their own personal growth and daily practices, and they all have a great love and passion for teaching and sharing the healing tools of Ayurveda, meditation, and yoga.
In Their Own Words
Several Vedic Masters have been featured in our monthly newsletter. Here are excerpts from a few of their profiles, with links to the complete stories:
"I wanted to learn as much as I could about the Chopra Center’s teachings and philosophy and so I chose the Vedic Master’s path. I did the training programs as a personal growth experience and didn’t have the intention to teach, but I soon rediscovered my inner teacher and love offering meditation and yoga classes. . . . I am the happiest I have ever been."
