Testimonials

The course was well designed and executed along a steady path but with flexibility to work with the issues and energy of the group. Jillian and Michael are genuine people who believe in what they do and live as they teach.

In the early days of practicing, I noticed an ability to ’re-boot’ my body for a new phase of the day, which I could approach with more energy and concentration. And over time I see an ability to physically and psychologically withstand more than people around me.

Debbie, Executive Coach

I was looking for local meditation courses and I came across the London Meditation Centre. I was instantly drawn in and decided to take part.

The course had just the right amount of participants for it to be a personal experience. The atmosphere was very spiritual and all of my questions and doubts were fulfilled. Jillian and Michael are two very inspirational individuals, who illustrated all the benefits of meditation with passion and simplicity. They were more than willing to address each and every individual difficulty or query.

I have now been meditating consistently for the past two years and the benefits seem to never end. My thoughts are clearer and my mind is more lucid. I have a far greater understanding of my inner self and the people around me. I also value group meditations highly, they are powerful and I’m always left with an even stronger conviction of the unending benefits of meditation.

I am extremely grateful for everything I have learnt from Jillian and Michael’s truly outstanding course.

Adriana, Teacher

Learning with Michael was an intense, but painless and enriching way to feel myself comfortably from head-to-toe from within and without through meditation. It is like self-healing, allowing oneself to feel self-secure. Monday group meditation is a beautiful communal activity of reassurance of the benefits of meditations.

Yvonne, Midwife

My husband, David, and I have been meditating for over seven years now and we try never to miss our twice-daily dose.

What has it done for us? When David was at work he attended a morning meeting at which he could have spoken out to other members of staff. However, he was so embarrassed and self-conscious that he always declined to say anything. Now he is retired and a leader for a local organisation—on occasions he stands up in front of twenty or more people and delivers an excellent speech.

As for me, sometimes after a meditation I seem to come up with some kind of solution to a small problem that has been bothering me. We both also believe that meditation is a great reviver–particularly on long-haul flights. Overall, we really dislike missing our twice-daily sessions of meditation.

You certainly could not wish for a more delightful couple to oversee the teaching of meditation and the Monday night sessions are often peppered with humour and laughter. Any and every kind of question is answered with honesty and clarity. As meditators–as we now consider ourselves to be – we cannot recommend this practice highly enough.

When I first did the course I found it very interesting the way stress stays in your body. When I met Michael and Jillian I found them both very lovely people and patient with lots of knowledge.

Before I booked my place on the course, I did have some doubts. I thought there would be hippies and weirdo’s and I would be the only normal person on the course. But once I met everybody they were all nice.

In the early days of meditation I felt so relaxed and calm. As I continued I found I did not worry so much about the future and continued to feel very relaxed and I don’t rush around anymore.

The benefits of daily meditation were immediate and changes profound. Jillian and Michael are excellent teachers and I’d thoroughly recommend London Meditation Centre without hesitation. The Monday group sessions that they run are a fantastic way to keep inspired and to meet others who have discovered the wonders of daily meditation.

Martin, Company Director

I went to the intro talk with a friend and having looked around the room to see what sort of other people would do such a course, and seeing the other people were normal and hearing similar, and different, stories to myself, I signed up.

The thing that I most respect and enjoyed about the way the course is set up, is that right from the start Michael used practical examples of how life really is, and that he based the course on hard fact. He also gave signposts to scientific research, and examples of high performing individuals and companies whose increased productivity could be measured by its workforce implementing a daily practice. This was all music to my wannabe overachieving ears…

That weekend was brilliantly structured so that subsequent group meditation sessions and at home ‘homework’ was a shared yet individual experience. Relating stories of what we had all faced in each attempt was therapeutic and a clever way of making the weekend a real anchor point for future practise.

The final group meditation on the Monday felt like a graduation ceremony into a new and warm family.

Since adopting a daily practice the most remarkable changes have taken place. I didn’t have a drop of caffeine after that weekend, and haven’t since. I don’t need the jolt of energy it gave me, as I have reconnected with the boundless energy I’ve always had. Friends have noticed a difference, especially those I’ve not seen in a while certainly.

I feel like physically I am more in control of my body; I’ve adopted an almost daily yoga practice. Having gone into the course after yet another heartbreak I feel like it has offered a path towards self-love that was lacking previously. I’m learning to let go of the outcome of meditation and enjoy the process daily, using it as a barometer of where I’m at personally and professionally.

18 months in, I can’t thank Jillian and Michael enough for creating a course and space that has changed and is continuing to change my life for the better through more structured choices, decisions and a self-awareness that grows every day.

Vedic Meditation is for your mind, like brushing is for your teeth. Forget to do it and your mouth just doesn’t feel its best that day. At the London Meditation Centre clarity of mind, greater happiness, more joy and positivity are just a few of the gifts you will develop, for the benefit, enjoyment and experience of others.

Karl, Low Carbon and Sustainability Consultant

Jillian and Michael are wonderful teachers; they share their learning with a light touch and the benefits that follow from meditation are long lasting and widely felt. Their courses work for beginners and for advanced practitioners, and their clear explanations are delivered with humour and compassion. It’s fun, surprising and is a blessing in my life.

William, Theatre Producer

Meditation worked immediately for me, after the 4-day course I felt already less anxious. After each meditation I feel like I have just received an energy infusion.
