PLEASE DO BOOK AHEAD TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT–LIMITED PLACES AVAILABLE Come and experience the revitalising power of a day of Vedic chanting. The day consists of a perfect balance of extra meditation, pranayama (breathing exercise), Yoga postures and Vedic vibration sound therapy. Dr Tony Nader has discovered that the different vibrations of the verses of the Vedic literature correspond to the different parts and systems of the human physiology. When you listen to the chanting of the forty aspects of the Vedic literature, you feel as if the whole physiology has been restructured and balanced. The Houghton TM Centre is a building that encompasses the perfect effects of a Sthapatya Veda house (Vedic architecture). This makes experiencing the Vedic sounds in that atmosphere much more healing than another environment.
