Ekaterina Notovich of Thrive Global sits down with Jillian and Michael for an interview spanning how they got into Vedic Meditation, what inspired them to become teachers, and what they’ve learned along the way.

Jillian: “Whilst the need for meditation is huge, there’s still a lot of misunderstanding about what it is and how it works. When we first started teaching, topics such as mental illness and stress were not as widely spoken of, and meditation was distinctly weird for many. This has changed a lot in the last ten years, which is great. More people have tried some form of meditation-like experience. And, there’s still a lot of confusion about what correct meditation involves. This is understandable given that there are a lot of things out there that are labelled as meditation, and people are desperate for natural ways to feel less stressed and anxious. A big part of our work involves educating and inspiring people about why Vedic Meditation is such a fundamental tool in this modern age.”
