FANTASTIC
The Vedic Meditation technique I learned through Light Watkins was fantastic. He made it very easy to learn and enjoy. His explanations were very thorough and easily understandable as well. Vedic Meditation is not religious based so you don't have to do anything but listen, learn, meditate, and feel well! I highly recommend it!

UPLIFTING
I am so thankful to have crossed paths with Light. My experience was uplifting and I highly recommend Light because he brings ease, genuineness, accessibility, and of course love and humor, to his classes. This experience has helped me embark on an exciting, life long journey filled with peace and meditation.
TAKE THIS CLASS
A friend of mine told me about her experience with Light's class and vedic meditation so I though I would give it a try. It's the best decision I've made in while. Light is a great teacher who makes difficult concepts easy to understand...it's a life changer!
LUCID AND INVITING
Meditation has come & gone in my life. But, it is now here to stay. Now, that I finally found my Guru-Light. It is not only the technique that simplifies your efforts. It is Light's style of teaching - lucid & engaging. He helps you to understand what meditation actually entails and exposes the nitty-gritty of the process. So, you are not concerned with those questions when on your own. He not only gives you the recipe; He also guides you through, so when the heat is high, you are well prepared to turn it down. One of my best decisions in life - taking his course.
SEEING THE LIGHT
I have had several "failed attempts" until taking the course with Light. A suggestion from a good friend, I came to the introduction blindly and left feeling like I finally found the method of meditation for me. Light is extremely intuitive and knowledgeable in his approach and I often felt he was speaking solely to me. Everyone I see recently tells me I'm glowing and I seem as if I'm doing very well. Who knew it shows???
A QUIET ANCHOR OF LIFE
Meditation is fast becoming a central part of my daily life. Light was a great teacher. He has real passion and patience and provides a wonderful balance of guidance and self-work. I highly recommend him and have already passed information about the course onto several of my friends.

AN OASIS
From the moment I met Light I felt a total connection and peace wash over me. He emanates a calm that is palpable, and that places you in a state that makes it easy to 'let go'. Light offers an oasis of peace and community in a town that desperately needs both!

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT
I was introduced to vedic meditation during an extremely busy week for me. I was debating on whether to learn the practice and deprioritize a lot of what was on my schedule or plan to do it during a better time for me. I am SO glad I decided to just go ahead and do it, even though it was not exactly convenient. I since experienced a profound change in myself, I am much more relaxed and clear on my goals and priorities, and I attribute this to my now regular meditation practice. I encourage anyone who is going through the same debate to just take the plunge. You will find its so worth it!

POWERFUL
I highly recommend Light and vedic meditation to anyone, especially those who think they can't meditate, and even those who do. Light is such a gifted teacher. His knowledge, calmness and sense of humor make the process fun and easy. And, as someone with special physical needs, he made me feel safe and gave me some additional guidance that really helped me through the process. The method is simple yet profound. It is "inclusive" rather than "exclusive", simple and joyful; a simple metaphor for how we can live our lives.

MEDITATION WITH EASE
Light has an amazing way of breaking down the simple steps to look inward and discover more about yourself. I highly recommend Light's meditation class to anyone searching for peace and clarity in their lives.

CALM AND INSIGHTFUL
Light is a fantastic and very patient teacher. I have always been interested in meditation but never found the time to even try. Based on Light's intensive course I am now FASCINATED and EXCITED about the whole process. He explained the practice from every aspect - spiritual, physical, bio-chemical etc and has a great array of analogies which very much helped this student understand and get into the practice.

If you're looking to learn meditation, Light is a great guide to start you on the path to a lifetime of meditation. His teachings inspire you make a dedication to your daily practice.

AMAZING TEACHER
As a physician and mother of two young children, I was starting to feel stress taking a toll on my physical well-being. My neck was so tense I was told I needed massages on a regular basis. I decided to look into meditation as a source of stress relief and moved by a desire for spiritual growth. Even with a busy schedule I have not missed a meditation. I never imagined I could make the time for it but Vedic meditation is so simple and yet so powerful. Light is a truly gifted teacher. He has the ability to integrate all this ancient wisdom with a modern lifestyle and make it so logical and effortless. You get support from Light even after the course has ended and he is always available. My neck pain is now gone. Things just do not bother me that much anymore. Anyone looking for self-improvement and happiness should look into Vedic Meditation and the fun and engaging wisdom of Light.

A WEALTH OF SUPPORT
Light was so welcoming and supportive. I have been needing/wanting to meditate for 8 years. I came to the intro talk and listened and was captivated. You can't deny the infinite benefits that meditation will bring. Light is a warm and patient teacher. If you have ever wondered about meditation, you should go!

ENERGY AND AWAKENING
Light makes learning to meditate so accessible because he can relate to what it is like to live in the every day world. He helps you build a practice that is effortless and available. This is for anyone that wants to create a space for meditation in their daily life. If nothing else, give yourself the chance of becoming more present to your life and attend a free intro talk.

INSPIRATIONAL
What I love particlarly about Light as an instructor is that I can completely relate to his dual understanding of leading a modern urban life-style infused with devotion to meditation and conscious living. Meditation allowed me to be be more at peace with life and more rationally accept the things that it brings, without a charge. I recommend it to everyone. Light is inspirational and meditation changed my perception on life.

MEDITATION WITH LIGHT
Learning meditation with Light felt modern and unpretentious. Thankfully, he handles "consciousness" with dexterity and humor. I had presumed this would require a tremendous effort, but the technique is simplicity personified and the results were far greater than I anticipated. One of the unexpected benefits is being part of this community. It's full of radiant people doing ordinary and not so ordinary things. It is an unexpected gift and pleasure to be part of and to have Light's guidance. It's a little like having your own Obi-Wan Kenobi.

A SHIFT OCCURRED
I have been practicing different paths of yoga~ asanas to meditation~ for a few years now. However, learning and practicing Vedic meditation with Light has made such a transformative shift in my life. The tools I have learned are invaluable yet practical. I highly encourage any and every one who feels ready for heightened awareness and more balance to tap in, check in, & check it out... with Light! His nurturance and authenticity allow the process to flow with such ease.
