Geoff Rupp
In February of 2011, my life took an unexpected turn. At the age of 39, I was confronted with a prostate cancer diagnosis and soon after found myself facing redundancy from my job. These profound events served as wake-up calls, urging me to re-evaluate my priorities and embark on a deeper exploration of life’s purpose.
Throughout my late teens, my fascination with spirituality and the quest for meaning had already taken hold. I immersed myself in countless self-help and spiritual books, seeking answers and guidance.
My professional journey in television, spanning over 30 years across Hong Kong, Malaysia, London, and Australia, seemed to bring great success, but it left me yearning for something more profound.
It was during this pivotal time that Vedic Meditation crossed my path. After years of practicing various meditation styles and with the encouragement of friends, I finally embraced Vedic Meditation as a last resort. Little did I know that this decision would ignite a profound shift in my health, state of mind, and overall well-being. I felt a deep sense of happiness, harmony, and connection with my body and the world around me.
As I navigated my cancer journey, meditation became an integral part of my healing process. I diligently practiced every day, using meditation as a centring force and a gateway to attunement with my body’s innate wisdom.
I then embarked on a transformative journey to India, where the rich tapestry of Vedic knowledge unfolded before me. It resonated with my soul, providing profound insights and a comprehensive framework to make sense of myself and the world. Fueled by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, my path as a student led me to becoming a teacher, driven by the desire to share this life-changing practice and body of wisdom with others.
Vedic Meditation, a timeless technique rooted in a tradition spanning over 5,000 years and predating all religions, became the cornerstone of my life’s work. Guided by the preeminent master of Vedic knowledge, Maharishi Vyasananda (Thom Knoles), I dedicated myself to the study of meditation and the Vedas. For two decades, Thom served as the beloved protégé of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the visionary guru who introduced meditation to the West in the 1960s.
Now, I am here to share this profound body of knowledge with those who embark on the adventure of life discovery
At its core lies a simple technique of meditating twice a day for 20 minutes—a practice that holds the power to transform lives. If you wish to delve deeper into the knowledge that accompanies this practice, I am delighted to share it with you. However, even if you choose to embrace the simplicity of the 20-minute twice a day practice, rest assured that its benefits remain equally accessible.
Wholeheartedly committed to creating a space where individuals can explore the limitless potential within themselves, I continued my journey and became friends and then a student of Anand Mehrotra, where I discovered the transformative powers of Sattva Yoga (Himalayan Breathwork) and the profound insights of Jyotish (Vedic Astrology) which converged to illuminate the path of self-discovery and spiritual growth I had been seeking.
In the sacred embrace of Sattva Yoga (Himalayan Breathwork), I discovered the boundless potential of breath, movement, and introspection. This ancient yogic tradition, interwoven with the wisdom of the Himalayas, became the gateway to profound transformation for me —a portal that unveiled the luminosity residing within each of us. Through this integrative practice, I witnessed the alchemy of body, mind, and spirit, awakening dormant energies and unlocking the vast reservoirs of inner wisdom, and with my Vedic Meditation practice was the perfect companion.
Complementing my journey into the realms of Sattva Yoga, the celestial science of Jyotish (Vedic Astrology) revealed its majestic tapestry, offering profound insights into the celestial influences that shape our lives and I have been honoured to do readings for people and illuminate the intricate interplay between cosmic forces and individual destinies. This sacred science unveils the blueprint of your soul, offering a roadmap to navigate life’s challenges and embrace your true purpose.
