    Self Love

    I have a good excuse for this most recent hiatus between episodes. I became a Dad again late last year and have been enjoying Freddie time!

What is it, exactly from the Vedic perspective? And most importantly, how can we experience more of it? Hope you enjoy. Love Matt x

    Placebo & Deeper Into Manifestation

    Ready to enrol? Learn to Let Go here: www.bondimeditation.com.au/learntoletgo After a three month hiatus we're back with possibly our most cosmic episode yet. We explore the Vedic theory that absolutely everything we experience is ultimately the result of placebo, in the sense that what we believe and expect to happen, happens. 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 & Anna

    Competitiveness, Social Media & The Status Trap

    Ready to enrol? Learn to Let Go here: www.bondimeditation.com.au/learntoletgo In this one we find out that Matt was a competitive nightmare and how he finally managed to rein it in. We also examine why it’s so tempting to get caught up in the status game in general, and the rewards for opting out of it. Finally we take a good look at social media, what's really going on in there and whether there is a way to use it healthily. As soon as we finished recording this one we agreed it was our favourite for a while, possibly ever. We hope you enjoy! With love and Jai Guru Deva Matt & Anna xx

    Speech, White Lies & Sweet Truth, God

    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. That all helps to bring it to more people’s attention. We’ve loved making this second series. Thanks for all the support and feedback along the way. As for a third series…..never say never ; ) With love and Jai Guru Deva Matt & Anna

    George Floyd, Anna's Crisis of Faith & True Surrender

    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 Deva Matt & Anna

    Vedic Parenting - Live Q&A Special

    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.

    Very Vedic Live - Special Coronavirus Edition

    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.
