Advanced Meditation Techniques

Rounding

Industrial strength meditation

Rounding is a technique that leads to deeper rest during meditation and greater release of stress from the physiology. It is specifically designed to buffer and facilitate the removal of stress allowing it to be released in a sustainable and comfortable way. This leads to deeper and more meaningful meditation experiences. I personally can say that learning to round had a major impact on my own experience of meditation.

WHAT IS ROUNDING?

Rounding is a powerful yet simple advanced technique that's designed to purify the mind and body at the deepest level.

Rounding consists of a sequence of three parts:

  1. Asana - a sequence of gentle yoga postures

  2. Pranayama - yogic breathwork

  3. Vedic meditation - 20 minute meditation

Performing the proper poses in a specific sequence with intention, allows deep-rooted stresses to be released and brings the nervous system back into balance.

In a retreat setting, with a certified teacher, it is possible to do multiple rounds in a day which leads to exponential changes in the experience of your meditation and an unprecedented release of stored stress. It is possible to remove 4 - 6 months of built up stress in just a matter of days at a rounding retreat. Many people have transformative personal breakthroughs at rounding retreats. The first rounding retreat I attended significantly changed and deepened my relationship to meditation.

WHY ROUND?

Rounding leads to deep restorative rest that removes stress and allows us to connect to our blissful state of being. A rounding meditation is much deeper, because of the asana and pranayama practiced before hand deexcites the nervous system and prepares the mind for a deep dive meditation. This allows deeper rest and a faster rate of dissolution of stress. It can bring you to a greater state of happiness, clarity and peace more quickly than standard meditation.

Performing a Round in place of your standard meditation, either morning or afternoon, is an efficient and enjoyable way to let go of more stress and prepare the body and mind to experience more bliss.

  • dive into deep meditation

  • shift your meditation into higher gear

  • purification of mind and body

  • de-excite the nervous system

A workshop is a great way to get started with rounding - adding it to your practice. You can replace either your morning or evening meditation with a round, or both. Even if you just add a single round per week, you will notice the difference in your meditation and your experience of the the following days.

I host monthly rounding get togethers. See the events page for more info and to check for upcoming rounding workshops.
