As a teacher of Vedic Meditation, I have obviously taught a number of people who have been managers or owners of companies. Ninety per cent of whom it would be fair to say wanted to learn Vedic Meditation because of work-related stress. As a result of their personal experiences learning to meditate, it’s not long before their conversation turns to the benefits of Vedic Meditation in business.
Now discussing the benefits of Vedic Meditation in business is not part of the course material and is not something I would normally raise. It comes up in conversation because the person has begun to experience the benefits of Vedic Meditation in their personal life and conclude very quickly how their company could benefit if employees also learned.
The Benefits of Vedic Meditation in Business
The benefits of Vedic Meditation in Business are not generally associated with improvements in company performance, profit margins and/or creativity. However, what is it, or rather, who is it that companies are reliant on for these things? And the answer is People! So it only makes sense that if the people within a company are less stressed, healthy and happy then the company will be healthy and happy 🙂
The challenge faced by almost every company today is to be able to increase performance and improve results without increasing the stress and pressure on the workforce.
The Vedic Meditation technique is a very practical and proven approach to improve the performance of the most fundamental resource of a company – its personnel.
Our ‘Creativity in the Work Place Programme’ (below) uses the technique of Vedic Meditation to bring important benefits to every aspect of the company.
Thinking becomes more comprehensive and free from mistakes; actions are increasingly effective and powerful.
With the full development of individual and corporate consciousness, the company enjoys rapid progress and promotes the health and well being of its employees.
A few of the benefits experienced by people who practice the Vedic Meditation programme regularly include:
- Improved Job Satisfaction
- Increased Productivity
- Increased Profitability
- Improved Relations at Work

Creativity in the Work Place Programme
Creativity and productivity are the basis of progress in business and industry. Yet routine work and demanding job responsibilities can create stress, perceived or real, which stifles creativity and performance.
The regular practice of Vedic Meditation each day eliminates stress and develops a clearer and more creative mind, increased effectiveness, improved health, broader awareness, greater happiness and more rewarding relationships – work related and at home.

It is always true that if we are more positive and open towards others, they reciprocate by becoming more open and positive towards us. In this way, the inner development brought about Vedic Meditation is reflected in more rewarding relationships of every type – business, family or social.
