This naturally leads us into a deep exploration of the laws of manifestation and we even squeeze in a chat about dharma and finding our purpose. It's a juicy one. We hope you enjoy!Love Matt & AnnaLearn to meditate with Matt www.bondimeditation.com.au

In this episode, the last in our second series, we look deeply into speech and how we can refine it, we explore white lies and ‘the sweet truth’ before going out with a bang with a discussion around the sometimes sensitive topic of God.You can listen on Apple Podcasts here (link) and Spotify here (link)If you’ve been enjoying Very Vedic and haven’t already, we’d love it if you could subscribe and tap the stars in Apple Podcasts to give us a rating, and even leave us a review if you feel inspired.

As for a third series…..never say never ; )With love and Jai Guru DevaMatt & AnnaLearn to meditate with Matt www.bondimeditation.com.au

In this episode Anna and I explore the Vedic view on manifestation, money and compulsion, considering ideas about black magic, free will and determinism along the way. It gets pretty cosmic but is hopefully practical too!We really enjoyed making this one and have been looking forward to sharing it with you.With love and Jaiu Guru DevaMatt & Anna xxLearn to meditate with Matt www.bondimeditation.com.au

After a brief hiatus while Anna was adventuring, we’re back with a new episode of our podcast Very Vedic.In this one we explore:Creativity - where it comes from, why it’s important and how to enjoy more of it.Trust - its role in spiritual development and how to build itMichael Jackson - Can we separate the art from the artist? Should we continue to listen to his music?We hope you enjoy.With love and Jai Guru DevaMatt & AnnaLearn to meditate with Matt www.bondimeditation.com.au

We thought that this ended up being a particularly interesting episode. We recorded it in the immediate aftermath of the George Floyd tragedy so that naturally became part of the discussion. Anna also confessed that she has been feeling a crisis of faith around the fundamental principle of Vedic Knowledge: that ultimately benevolent forces are the most powerful and that love will win out in the end. We explored how much of what we have a problem with is a projection of something unresolved in ourselves and considered what it means to be truly surrendered.We got into some day-to-day techniques and practical responses so hopefully you will find something in this episode that helps you.With love and Jai Guru DevaMatt & AnnaLearn to meditate with Matt www.bondimeditation.com.au

This is a special live Q&A episode on the subject of Vedic Parenting. It's relevance isn't limited to parents though, as we’re all involved in raising children in some capacity, whether as family relations, friends etc.I was joined by Vedic Meditation teacher and mother of 20-month-old Indi, Jess Osie. We recorded the session live on Zoom with students of BMC listening and asking the questions.We discussed how to help children find their dharma (life’s purpose), the role of discipline in parenting, how to navigate around drugs and other social challenges and generally how to help children to be less fearful, happier and more fulfilled.Parenting is a sensitive and huge topic and this is just one take on it, but we hope you find something useful in there.Learn to meditate with Matt www.bondimeditation.com.au

For this first episode of season two of Very Vedic, Anna and I explore experiences in the Covid-19 lockdown world from the comfort of my couch. No flash studios or sound recording experts on hand for this one so please excuse the touch of distortion on Anna's voice in the first half of the recording.Learn to meditate with Matt www.bondimeditation.com.au

For this special episode, recorded live in Matt's living room in Bondi, we hosted a live online discussion about the coronavirus crisis. Listeners asked questions and Matt answered them in real time.As always with Vedic Knowledge, the conversation was an exploration of the possibilities that open up when we approach life consciously, and how the challenges we face at this time contain great opportunities for growth.We hope the ideas discussed here help you to find ways to thrive, rather than just survive, at this unique time in our lives.Learn to meditate with Matt www.bondimeditation.com.au
