What Graduates are Saying About Our Courses

North Eastern US      

I have just been reading the Essence of Patanjali and I am so enthralled. I am a yoga teacher with a school that trains people to teach yoga--my teachings are steeped in Patanjali!!!

Martha Lonergan, Washington, DC   

 

Thank you for your Transformation Meditation Teacher Training Course. I thought that I enjoyed and appreciated my practice before I took your course but now I have begun to acknowledge the depth of my consciousness and I have learned to truly love the peace that I feel while I "travel" to that place in a whole new way. I have incorporated meditation classes into the drug program that I work at and find that little by little the women there are able to let go of trying to "relax" and just when they do is when there is a sense of peace in the room that no words can duplicate!

Carin Klinger-Margies, HHC, AADP,
Holistic Health and Wellness Counselor, Oceanside, NY
    

 

This program is very knowledgeable, informative and over-all extremely useful for anyone who wants to further their knowledge of meditation or internal reflection.

Sarah Blackington, Plymouth, MA  

 

Thank you so much for this wonderful course! In the First Church of Wicca meditation is a huge part of our practice and it is wonderful to have a professional course that I can teach my parishioners.

Rev. Dr. Kendra Vaughan, Duxbury, MA 

 

I seriously enjoyed the course so much, that I completed the entire course within one day. Well written, clear, and informative, anyone interested in Transformation Meditation will enjoy and feel relaxed studying the course.

Evone Ferreira, Orange, NJ

 

I have been meditating and studying the art of meditation for ten years. Your course completely summed up everything I have done, read and believed in one terrific package. Thank you so much. I look forward to your advanced courses.

Esther Holloway, Lamplighter Ct

 

The Patanjali CDs produced by Brijendra are clear, understandable and inspiring. I learn something new every time I listen to them. I am using them in the meditation classes that I am teaching at a chiropractor's office. These beginning meditators understand it and none of them know a bit of Sanskrit. This is because Brijendra is a brilliant teacher who knows how to convey the deepest meaning of Patanjali’s teachings to anyone who will listen. Thank you!!!

Brian Ward
Psychologist and Meditation Teacher, Danville, Vermont

 

Fantastic Course. I didn't expect to learn as much as I did about meditation and the direct effects of practice on one's physical health. VERY informative. Also, I've found your marketing advice/tools to be above and beyond! Namaste!

Bridget Farley Glynn, Brewster, NY

 

I purchased the course in July and just kept reading it and reading it until, I grasped all I could. This course was eye opening as well as reaffirming to my beliefs and sense of purpose as a professional in the health field. Thank you!!

Xavior R. Qvistgaard, New York, NY

 

Though I have meditated off and on for many years, having read books and taken classes, it is not until now, after studying your course, that I have answers to some of the questions that have long been a problem for me. Thank you so much. I am greatly blessed.

Anna Demetra Siudy, RN, RYT, Oneonta, NY

 

(On the Essence of Patanjali Yoga Sutras Course and the Teacher Training Home-Study Course) This is a great program! Your meditation program was more than I thought it would be. Keep up the fantastic work. I am looking forward to the next course.

Tony Aloe, Shoreham, NY.

 

I listen to the CDs nightly. I need only to listen for a few minutes to the sounds in the back ground and to Brjendra’s voice and I am gone into samaadhi.

Janina Ward, Danville, Vermont

 

This course exceeded my expectation. I feel fully prepared to teach the course.

Stephanie Wincik, RN, Girard, PA

 

I wanted to say that the course is fantastic. I love the way you put it together, very direct, very informative, not too much superfluous information but enough background to help get a full picture of the practice of meditation.I love it and will recommend it to everyone. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Kim Dragotta, Weare, NH

 

An excellent meditation instructor course which simplifies abstract spiritual concepts about meditation and synthesizes health knowledge and benefits into a practical modality that health care professionals can offer to teach clients for promotion of holistic well-being.

Carol Parker, RN, Randolph, NJ

 

Enlightening both personally and professionally!

Lori Enquist-Schmid, M.A., LPC, Toms River, NJ

 

Very comprehensive, yet easy to follow course content. A modality to use personally as well as professionally.

Kathleen Koval, RN, Allentown, PA

 

Many thanks. I feel confident and inspired to both continue my own practice and to begin building my own business.

Elizabeth Claire Myers, Rahway, NJ

 

Excellent, easy to understand, and provides lots of evidence about meditations value, lesson plans are great. Thank you.

Jim Angerame, Brewerton, N.Y.

 

I had familiarity with meditation but your course expanded my knowledge while at the same time simplifying it into a very useable manner/format. I enjoyed it and especially liked the messages/lessons given( as the causes of unhappiness) which I can use in therapy with my patients. Thank you!

MIchael C. LaFerney, Ph.D, LMHC, RN, Lakeville, MA.

 

I was impressed with the content and presentation of this course. It is reader-friendly and very informative. I will be recommending this course to my friends!

Kurt S.F. Mebruer, Linn, MI

 

I have almost every book that is quoted in the course on my book shelf. The way the research is combined with practical application methods is exactly what I was looking for. I can’t wait to put the techniques into practice.

Linda Kenny, Mendham, NJ

 

This course is wonderful. I will tell everyone I know about it.

Gabriella Wofford, Woodbury Heights, NJ

 

I find your course so informative and very easy to understand. Especially for a new teacher. I love it. Thank You.

Ramona P. Shainheit, Hainesport, NJ

 

I highly recommend this course. It was informative, well presented and will be extremely useful to me personally and professionally. Thank you.

Laura Sucher, Brunswick, NJ

 

I loved the manual.

Melissa Samartano, LMHC, Trenton, MA

 

I am very happy with my course. It was very easy to understand and very enjoyable to read. I have been practicing meditation for many years. And I am very pleased that I decided to take this course. The book has a lot of valuable information and things to help you put together a class and I want to thank you for providing such a valuable tool for anyone interested in learning meditation or preparing to teach meditation.

Violette J. Warren, Glendora, NJ

 

I own and operate Holistic Passages Wellness Center in NJ. I teach a beginners Meditation workshop and wrote a manual for the class that concentrates on various breathing exercises and 3 meditation techniques. I wanted to expand my knowledge and take the meditation teaching experience further and was led to you. Your course is very well written and created additional enlightenment for me personally and professionally. Thank you for being instrumental by way of the tools you have provided in this Teacher Training course. You make it easy to want to "be".

Magye M Kalwara, Mantua, New Jersey

 

Very easy to read––lots of studies cited which is very helpful for credibility. Would definitely order more courses. A wonderful asset to my yoga certification.

Frances Kosowski, Staten Island, NY

 

Thank you. It is wonderful and I would recommend.

Jessica Dharma Anderson, Westford, MA

 

Thank you for assembling this information (Essence of Patanjali Course) in such an understandable manner.

Jessica Dharma Anderson, Westford, MA

 

I like and appreciate how this book, in combination with the CDs, incorporates the wisdom of the teachings behind Transformation Meditation, the meditation itself, running classes, and even how to market yourself and the materials needed to get you started.

Katharine Elliott Driver, Philadelphia, PA

 

 South Eastern US         


I just told my husband that this is the best course I've ever experienced - clear, compelling, funny, practical and spiritual. I think that you have a wonderful way of sharing your knowledge, making it accessible - you know having a business and a life that emanate from the heart. Thank you so much!
Namaste,

Elaine Lang, RN, MS, CS,
Director of Bodynsoul Yoga, Spartenburg, SC
 

 

I received the Transformation Meditation teachers package and the Essence of Patanjali yesterday. I have read the first 5 chapters and so far it is REALLY great. You have a lovely style of communication and I know this course will be a great benefit to me. I have made arrangements with a local Yoga school here in Chattanooga (the only yoga school in Chattanooga) and I will be able to use their building to conduct meditation classes once I feel I am ready.

(After completing the course) You did a wonderful job presenting the material in a clear and straightforward manner. I am currently working on a course outline and price list, and hope to actually hold my first class in July. Your book contains pretty much everything anyone would need.

I really liked the informal presentation of the Patanjali CDs. The absence of a "slick" studio production was refreshing. It was like being at the feet of a Guru and hearing great lesson after great lesson. I listen to them daily! Thank You Brijendra!

Fred Mayes, Chattanooga, TN.

 

I really enjoyed this course and found that there is much more to meditation than I could have ever imagined. I feel more than ready to teach because, most importantly, I am ready to lead by example.

Tasha Edwards, M.S., Madison, AL

 

Finding your course is a great blessing to me. It is like finding my true Self. As I study this course, I learn a lot about myself too.

Zen Ongchangco, Suwanee, GA

 

Thanks so much. I love teaching!

Melanie McCool, Louisville, KY

 

Good information on applying meditation in daily life.

Debra Cohen,  Social Worker, Coconut Creek, FL

 

I initially took this course to advance my counseling practice and for the CEUs. However, personal growth was inevitable. My personal life and practice has been impacted as a result of this course.

Dena Spitzer, MA, NCC, Orlando, FL

 

Thank you for your letter of congratulations. I am now teaching the class and find the materials so great use.

Melissa Bowers, Shapes Total Fitness For Womem, Port Richey, FL

 

Thank you so much for offering this wonderful and informative home study course for teaching meditation. I found it to be very informative with great ideas on marketing. It is a great feeling to have the knowledge to teach others who need meditation in their lives. So that they can live stronger healthier lives.

Renea Williams Wilson, NC

 

I love the Teacher Training and Patanjali programs and am excited to get home every day and work with them. I am a volunteer with HospisCare of Southeast Florida and eventually may offer meditation lessons to my patients. Than you for the wonderful program. Very well done!

Robert Schlien, Wilton Manors, FL

 

Thank you for this exceptional course (Essence of Patanjali Yog Sootras Home-Study Course). It was an excellent tool aiding in understanding of Patanjali's Yog Darshan. I'll re-read and listen to the tapes in the future to deepen my understanding of the sutras.

Karen B.  Maute, Danville, VA

 

Shree was a tremendous help in getting me information and answering all of my questions in a kind and loving manner.

Joseph Hamilton, LMT, Jupiter, FL

 

The teacher training is a very comprehensive course which supplemented and also summarized the study I have been doing over the past 28 years. The studies cited were particularly appreciated. As many people respond to scientific studies and data, this is one approach to attract people's attention who would not otherwise be interested in pursuing meditation for enlightenment or spiritual liberation.

Simply an excellent course...concise, precise. This is an terrific introduction as well as a summary for anyone interested in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. I would, without hesitation, highly recommend this course, all of these courses to practitioners and student alike.

This morning we were listening to the Bhagavad Gita CDs on our way to Great Falls....i love it... all of you are doing such a wonderful job of getting this out, well to me at least....many many thanks and eternal gratitude to all of you...us. Excellent course!- this is my third one - as with the other two, the material is presented in a wonderful way - easy to digest & to study. Thank you for all of your hard work.

E. Sarah Kragie, Vienna, VA

 

I was very pleased to see that your course draws deeply from the tried and true classics of meditation practice. You succinctly summarized thousands of years of instruction into something manageable for our time.

Craig Macbeth, Tampa, FL

 

Excellent material made very easy to understand and teach.

Linda Morehead, Miami Springs, FL

 

Dear Shree and Dattaa,

We so enjoyed the seminar last Saturday. It was an amazing experience to share with you and the group. The time went by too quickly. We transcended into such a higher state of mind while we were there. The benefit of your teachings and experiences were so dramatic.

Both of you are so delightful in the way you present your seminar, with love, mindfulness and humor. It was such a stepping stone on our path of spiritual enlightenment. We will continue to practice meditation, and always think of both of you and the teachings that you have given us. We have already been using the techniques of breathing that we learned.

We have been listening to your CD Dattaa, and it is a wonderful piece of work.

We are so blessed that we had the opportunity to meet and be given spiritual guidance from you. Thank you for sharing your divine knowledge. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Namaste and love,

Eleni and Bob Taylor, Delray Beach, Florida

 

I loved this course. Quality of recordings was excellent. Overall, the teacher training gave me a lot of great information to help me further development my own concepts and create a real practice. I loved the marketing materials. I really needed concrete advice on that. This course is quite valuable and not easy or simple. I will have to further study the materials to truly make them part of my own practice and to properly teach these techniques. This shows a true desire to provide a well-designed, high-level course. Incredibly great value and you certainly over-delivered.

Susan Bilheimer, Boca Raton, FL

 

Simple, straight forward and easy to understand while still conveying a true sense of the spiritual mind body connection. Provides good class formats and methods to begin both your own practice as well as teaching others.

Sheryl A Purnell, RN, Cape Coral, FL

 

I wanted to thank you for an excellent course. I feel my understanding of myself and the subject matter is deeper and wider. I have recommended the course to my Yoga students, and I hope they will take you up on your brilliant offerings. Thanks.

Rick Neubauer, Greenville, SC.

 

I LOVED the course. It's a great program! It is fully developed. It is genuine. It creates results and connections for people that may already have a practice, as well as people that have no prior connection to their Divine Oneness. I was really very thoroughly impressed. I've had a year of Meditation Teacher training prior to this, but felt that this was the most cohesive program I've encountered. The information was organized incredibly well. I found so many useful ideas with the readings. It was truly inspirational! Thank you for so cohesively uniting this information! I honor your gift, Sherrie, and hope to share it with others.

Jeffrey Thornton, Ashville, NC.

 

Being visually impaired it is next to impossible for me to read books and manuals by myself. Having the materials downloadable in PDF format allows my screen reader to read all books and materials for me. I am able to teach both complete yoga and meditation classes without being able to read aloud. Thank you for making this fully accessible for the blind.

Debbie Jones, Titusville, MBA, FL

 

I loved the course! I have long had the goal of integrating meditation and yogic philosophy into my counseling practice, and this course is definitely a step in that direction. I look forward to taking some (or all) of your other classes.

Barbara Keownm, PhD, LPC, Opelika, AL

 

With a lifetime of studying meditation, including TM, the SRF courses of Yogananda, mindfulness techniques and the new brain-wave meditation technologies, I feel confident that Transformation Meditation is the best approach for counselors to use in teaching meditation to clients and in group teaching programs. This course literally covers all the essential bases; is comprehensive enough to deliver powerful, enlightening meditation techniques, while remaining simple enough to bring these concepts and methods to those who are least acquainted with this great tradition for human advancement. This profound and enjoyable instructional program covers every detail in preparing us to teach meditation - perhaps the most useful continuing education program I have taken.

Granville Angell, LPC, NCC, Vale, NC

 

A wonderful course, very easy to understand. With all the information contained in the course, I gained even more appreciation for this life practice and a better understanding of the gift of healing, meditation can bring to my life, as well as others.

JoAnn Timberlake, Fayetteville, NC

 

Amazing!! This course was so well put together and packed full of information you don't get anywhere else. The marketing material and replies to student questions were SO valuable!!

Lori Rosen, InVision Wellness Center, Lakeland, Florida

 

Very useful information with wonderful insights. Makes you want to add meditation to your daily routine.

Robbie Miles, Tampa, FL

 

Absolutely wonderful. It was great to be able to complete this in my own time. (I have a very busy schedule.) It was an extremely interesting course and I know this information will be extremely beneficial for my own personal use and career. Thank You.

Sarah Deeley-Porter, RN., Orlando, FL

 

As a long time meditator and mental health practitioner I deeply appreciate this course in its clear design, pure intent, depth of knowledge, and generosity of spirit. There is a profound need for the teaching of meditation in therapy and this course goes a long way to facilitating this. I look forward to more courses. Thank you.

Joan Lieberman, M.Ed., Boca Raton, Florida

 

Enjoyed the manuals,

Edith M. Reich, Delray Beach, FL

 

I am enjoying immensely the eSatsangs from you and Brijendra. They are great and deeply rewarding.

Anthony Calvello, Jupiter, Florida

 

I have been a meditator for 36 years and a teacher of meditation for the last 10. I appreciate being able to get ceus for a subject so dear to my heart and to receive further incentive to teach more.

Elizabeth Stamper, LMHC, Indian Harbour, FL

 

I am very impressed with the punctuality and professionalism of this course (Essence of Patanjali). The presentation is outstandingly beautiful. The quality of the information is rare and hard to find in any other circles and for that it is highly valuable.

Sarena Morello, M.S., LMHC, Delray Beach, FL

 

I loved this course. It has given me a good foundation for teaching meditation and I know I will refer to the information often as I begin a regular teaching practice. I look forward to advanced training through you. Thanks!

Nancy Bunt, Charlotte, NC

 

Your verbiage is somewhat different than my other studies which give me a greater understanding of my physical and spiritual journey. Many Thanks!

Iva Veazey, Whittier, NC

 

Excellent course. It was easy to understand, even for those who have never studied meditation prior to this course. I would recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their lives.

Christine A. Halls, Certified Hypnotherapist, Jacksonville, NC

 

This program offers a nice model to develop a program that is tailored to anyone's level of awareness. It can easily move from clinical to spiritual without major adjustments.

Eric Reese, Woodbine, MD

 

I truly enjoyed the course it was well written and organized.

Kaysha Reid, Orlando, FL

 

 

 

Central US     

The course was well-written, concise, and thoughtful. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt that it was well worth the cost. I would certainly recommend it to anyone interested in the mind/body connection or the concept of mindfulness.

Lea Yoakem, RN, BSN, Frankfort, OH

 

Wonderful Essence of Patanjali Course. Enjoyed very much. Thank You.

Sharon Denton, Wheaton, IL 

 

I have had the best time reading the book, I am very pleased and most impressed! In particular with the lack of concern for copyrighted materials and the willingness to help the practitioner get started in their undertaking. Thanks.

Monica Young de Cantu, San Antonio, TX

 

This teacher training home-study course was excellent in every way. The study and the materials provided have given me the confidence to structure and deliver a 5-week meditation course. Additionally, it has very much benefited my own personal practice. I appreciate Sherrie's prompt responses to my requests for support and information. I appreciated the research information provided. As a former yoga instructor for The Dean Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease I was glad to see this program mentioned along with all the other ways meditation is being used in the medical community.

Charlene Ballard, RYT, Gallipolis, OH

 

I enjoyed this course tremendously! The information is accurate and the delivery is sincere and from the heart. This is NOT just anoter internet training course...this is very high quality! I feel quite prepared to teach Transformation Meditation.

Dino Hayz, Moline, IL

 

Very well written, easy to follow and informative.

Janice M. Berg, Valley City, ND

 

Your LOVE/SELF shines through all your materials. I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to pass this teaching on to our self.

John Gilmore, Louisburg, KS

 

Thanks again for the great course!

Byron Benson North Aurora, IL

 

The marketing strategies included in your course are invaluable. Thank you so much for developing the program and making it available on-line.

Elizabeth Hall, Bloomington, IL

 

Well done! Enjoyable and informative. Also, your website is first class!

Alice Brown, M.A., L.P.C., Plymouth, MI

 

I really liked the integration of Patanjali with modern research.

Jim Mullins, Plainfield, IL

 

As a long time student of meditation, it was not so much the information but more about how to resent that information in a classroom setting. I feel confident that I can teach others the joy of meditation!

Connie Desai, Tulsa, OK

 

Loved this course. I have been practicing transcendental meditation for many years and discovered a couple of years ago how much I also appreciate Mindfulness Meditation. Your method combines what I like so much about both techniques.

Debra Shelton, MS, NCC, Olive Branch, MS

 

This is a great course. I like how all the benefits are listed and all the facts and research have footnotes and referendes. I also really like the handouts provided for your own students. This course is great A+.

Charles L. Rackers, Jefferson City, MO

 

I value the way the psychological and spiritual information is integrated.

Robin Pearlstein, RN, Cleavland Hts., OH

 

Great Course! Thank you for your work in this field.

Don G. Weyant, Springfiled, MI

 

Everything about this course is clear and easy to follow. I will recommend this course to others. Thank you again!

Linda Pribish, RYT, Hinckley, OH

 

I loved it! Thanks!

Steven Keihl, Ph.D., Fort Worth, TX

 

I enjoyed all of it. Thanks.

Dorothy Faulkiewicz, Des Plaines, IL

 

Western US     

I found this course to be very informative and well written. I enjoyed it very much. I think the handout material will be very helpful in starting my classes.

Marcia Thomas, Mercer Island, WA 

 

I have really enjoyed taking this traing course. It opened my eyes to a lot of things and about my inner and outer Self. I look forward in teaching the methods outlined from this course. The information is valuable to everyone on this planet. I can now feel confident in meditation. Thank you for offering this home-study course.

Lloyd Phillip Bumanglag, Coto Decaza, CA 

 

As a personal trainer and life coach I will be able to use this information to enhance my client's goals. It is also a benefit to my own personal life.

Mary Ann Corrao Whitefish, MT 

 

This course is perfect and invaluable for my needs.

Deborah L. Potts, Temecula, CA

 

I have been in nursing for over 2 decades and cared for cancer patients during that time. My only regret is that I was not aware of the benefits of meditation much earlier in my life. Transformation meditation has been an enormous help to me personally in navigating through the daily work and personal stress. I am confident that I can bring this peaceful method of self-care to my patients now that I have completed this thorough and thoughtful course of learning.

Suzanne Cabriales, MSN, La Crescenta, CA

 

I very much enjoyed taking your course, and I look forward to purchasing more of your courses. It brought new peace into my life and reminded me of things I had forgotten. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Dawn Pisturino, RN, Kingman, AZ

 

I have to say that I rarely rate anything as Excellent but your course truly is excellent. I have studied and practice meditation for over 10 years and after finished your teacher training course I realized how little I actually knew.  Bless you for this beautiful peace of work.

Greg de Vries, Campbell, CA

 

The course was an easy way to take a lifetime of experience in meditation, focus my own practice, then feel credentialed to offer it to others in a structured easy to understand way. I went through all the levels of Kriya yoga and entered some minor states of samaadhi. Your material is much less complicated and I felt twinges of those states, the ones described in
Patanjali's yoga sutras, rather quickly.

David Burrows, LMT, Denver, CO

 

I really enjoyed reading the Transformation Meditation Manual. As a registered nurse, I am looking to expand my education to more of the holistic arena, and this training was fun and fulfilling.

Alice Landry, RN, Saint Bernard, LA

 

I really enjoyed the quality of information. Thank You.

Dr. Ilse Hernandez, Rio Rancho, NM

 

Yesterday we received the lovely Himalayan Muse music CD. Its really marvellous and we would like to Congratulate you on this beautiful serene album. We especially loved the Om Poormada song. Wish it was longer. Congrats to you, Mayunk and Peeyush. The compositions are very soothing and put us in a meditative mood right away. Thanks to Swamiji for he is the source of this creation.

Sonu & Vandana Gupta, CA

 

Excellent. Far exceeded expectations.

Joseph Holliday, M.A. Castle Rock WA.

 

Thank you very much, Sherrie. Well, I am nearly finished. I have enjoyed this so much that I have been unable to put it down!! The material is clear, thorough and inviting. Again, thank you.

Alicia M. Allen, M.A., Yoga, Three Fork, MT.

 

I really enjoyed going through all the material. I'm going to start teaching the first 5 class series this Thursday. I am also in a yoga teacher training program and this has enhanced that experience tremendously.

Toni Pusateri, Reno, Nevada

 

Amazing course!! The most well-written instruction about/on meditation I've ever read.

A. Joey Monteverde IV, La Verne, CA

 

The Transformation Meditation Manual and Course by Sherrie Wade is an excellent source of study. It is very informative and excellently written. Thank you.

Dionne Hayes, Highland, CA

 

I just want to tell you that i am enjoying the Transformation meditation course very much. Your presentation is concise, comprehensive, scientific, systematic, articulate and just amazing! You are amazing!

I really enjoyed the course. It was easy to learn and I am excited to teach the materials. Thank You.

Shelly Huiras,. Stockton, CA

 

I found the material to be interesting and very informative. This information can be utilized personally and professionally. Thank you for an excellent class! Keep writing!

Lynda M. Staggs, CNA, Brea, CA

 

This course on Transformation Meditation provides a well organized method to introduce the important benefits of meditation to others. I found Sherrie's suggestions on teaching meditation to beginners very helpful. Thanks!

Sonia Beauchamp, Haleiwa, H

 

Thank you for a wonderful course!

Ammy Naff, Cambria, CA

 

I loved it! I will refer to it again and again, for review, as there is so much to absorb. Thank-you so much!

Teresa Steadman, Harvard, Idaho

 

I have recently begun creating a curriculum of yoga and meditation for at-risk teens at the center where I work. After the first week one kid stopped before leaving my classroom and said, "Thanks for making my day better!." Having a resource on how to teach has been invaluable for my job and practice. It has helped give me the confidence to help all these young ones on the Path!

Matthew J. Costello, Portland, OR

 

Last July I began what will be a 2 year study of the Yoga Sutras. I am using 6 different translations and commentaries and I have to say Brijendra's, Patanjali Yog Darshan: Wisdom of Meditation, Book One, is without question the most systematic, comprehensive, and insightful text I have used in my studies. It is wonderful!

Phil McLemore, West Point, UT

 

I am very pleased with the course. It is very easy to understand. Great information!

Jolanta Jensen, Mesa, AZ

 

This course manual was literally the first educational piece that I couldn't put down!
Thank you so very much! What a lovely course!

Susan Lustenberger, Del Mar, CA

 

Thank you Shree for developing such an easy to use training manual, for providing the many handout materials, and for the advice on marketing and promotion. There are not many online courses for meditation teacher certification and this was exactly what I needed to give me the confidence to start classes. Much Gratitude!

Ajna Judith Green, Ashland, OR

 

Thank you for this wonderful course.

Marie Schluter, Jackson, CA

 

Canada     

First I want to let you know that you course materials have been nothing short of a small miracle in helping me to put a course together.

John Brennan, Toronto, Canada 

 

I'm thrilled to have successfully completed the course. It was joy . I know and feel confidently equipped to lead my students into deeper meditation, as well as marketing myself as a meditation teacher. This course was an insightful and uplifting journey. Thanks again for a great course.

Christine Nikoden, Ontario, Canada

 

This course contributed greatly to my desire to better understand and deepen my practice of meditation. I found it rich in content directly related to the practice of meditation; and very clearly and simply explained to facilitate practice. This course has not only me to develop and deepen my own practice; it has provided me with the means and the knowledge to teach others to teach others this simple yet powerful practice. Taking this course has contributed personally and financially to my life while allowing me to \"give\" to others - it is like a gift that keeps on giving. Thank you so much Shree! Namaste.

Rev. Jennifer McSween, M.Msc.(Nuns\' Island, Quebec Canada)

 

I feel so wonderful ... so open and hopeful that life truly is as wonderful as I've always secretly suspected. Something has shifted inside me since reading the "Essence of Patanjali Yog Sootras Course" When I first received the package, I got a bit panicky, thinking that I couldn't ever get through it. I even thought that maybe I had made a mistake, but once I got started, I couldn't put it down. Even as I was reading and learning, usually something I find stressful, I found the words and meanings and teachings soothing. So the teachings actually soothed and calmed me as I learned and gained knowledge. Hard to explain, but very very important to me: I feel different, I feel alive, I feel as if I can really 'communicate' with the life force and that this force is communicating with me..I know it always has, but I can feel it now more than I have ever felt before. And I feel more confident with my own teaching. I know this course is going to change things for me. I'm so glad I signed up!!! I guess God knew I was finally ready ... I feel ready... I can't wait for the other course to arrive and yet I know it will arrive exactly when its supposed to. Thanks for everything Sherri.

Maria D'Costa, Brockville, Ontario, Canada

 

I took my time with the material and found it easy to work with and very complete. Thank you very much!

Steve Oliver, NS, Canada

 

I enjoyed the course very much. It was concise, informative, and very user friendly.

Nicole Tofflemire, Laval, Québec

 

Wow, simple AND profound... Congratulations!

Sebastian Michel, Montreal, Canada

 

I loved your course and post my teacher's certificate proudly. I will have my own meditation website and book out shortly, inspired by your course.
Meditation has changed my life but not so much in a spiritual way as in attitude. Finding peace has always been a challenge, and having just gone through a change in personal occupation has been difficult. But it was time for me to move on and try something new. And now I know what jumping into that abyss of the unknown is like, yet through continued intuitive action have found a new occupation that is more personally suited.

I thought the Teacher Training course was brilliant, truly outstanding. The modest price made it seem like a Gift from the Divine Source before I even read it. It soon revealed itself to be an excellent "business-in-a-box", a potential doorway to a new career, and a Spiritually uplifting and inspiring guide to the Path of Liberation and Enlightenment. Thank you for your great kindness in producing this course!

Jim Small, Stoke- on-Trent, UK

 

I absolutely loved this course - I am a keen meditator and wanted to introduce meditation classes into my wellness practice - the course has everything I could ever need! I already have three bookings and I haven't advertised yet :) Can't wait to get started! Thank you very very much for a truly excellent course.

Donna Booth, Caithness, UK.

 

A great course. I will recommend it to others wanting to teach meditation or learn meditation. The course is very well thought out, easy to follow, and provides everything that you could possibly want.

The course content was just what I was looking for. Perfect. Thank you.

Sandra Cobain, Tyne & Wear, UK 

 

I really appreciate the simple style of this high quality course, which makes those very profound wisdom teachings and their application easily accessible to almost everybody. Shree's practical guidance through the techniques proposed in both the manuals as well as the CDs permits the student to experience the immediate benefits of those meditation methods, right from the very first time they are practiced. I can only say: Congratulations to this wonderful course! it is indeed a great gift to humanity.

Marion Mantel, writer and artist, Vence, France

 

Completing this course has really boosted my knowledge and confidence to teach meditation. Thanks Shree.

Justine Aldersey-Williams, Meryside, UK

 

I really enjoyed the course and found the class handouts and samples very helpful. I loved the meditations and hope one day I may get over to participate in one of your courses in the USA.

Dr. Ann Hodgson, England

 

I have enjoyed the course very much and have found Transformation Meditation has helped me get through a rather difficult time recently.  I have taken many courses in complementary therapies and each one has included some form or other of meditation, but I must admit I have often found it rather difficult to meditate.  However all that changed with Transformation Meditation. I found your method to be the only one that has really worked for me, and the only one that I feel I could, or even would want to, teach!   Thank you for sharing your wonderful method.

Dorothy Rowatt, Padova, Italy

 

Thank you for the Certificate. The course was wonderful. You have written your book and are teaching from the heart! It has been easy to take transformation meditation as a part of my meditation program because the methods and principles are very similar to what I have used. As soon as possible I am going to study the course about Patajali's Yoga Sutra.

Pirjo Welling, Ph.D., Yoga Instructor, Oulu, Finland

I'm using much of what I learned from your course as a meditation teacher in my own right! At present, I'm self-employed as a meditation teacher through my base's Health and Wellness Center with 15 students in an 8-week course! The feedback from my students and the director of the Center has all been positive. So far, so good! Thank you.

Joel Drouet, APO, AE.

 

A great course! Well organized and very enjoyable.

David Aldridge, Doyle Gardens, London

 

I have totally enjoyed this journey of new learning with your excellent course, so much so that I have been up studying the material at 6AM each day and loving it. I found each chapter just the right length for ease of study. Congratulations of a great course.

Alan Kane, Westmeath, Ireland

 

Wonderful course, with easy to follow materials.

Justin Steele. Birmingham, UK

 

Very helpful course and very effectively offered. Thank you.

Gerry Fitzpatrick. Waterford, Ireland

 

I found the course extremely well put together, in order to gain an in depth understanding of meditation and its benefitrs for myself and in the future to feel more confident, when helping others. Overall....Excellent!

Pauline Olivera, Choiz, Spain

 

I might in the future like other courses but I have to assimilate all this information first and put it into my practice and teaching practice. Many thanks I wish I was nearby so I could attend one of your courses!

Jan Dawson, Gazax et Baccarisse, France

 

Brijendra was the best to explain the meaning of what Swami-ji talks about. He was always open to investigate and to dive deep into the realm of Space and to lead us into a deep and profound meditation. This opened new perspectives and deep insights for us. Without him it would have taken us much more time and trouble to discover the understanding of meditation and the meaning of “pure free forever”.

Christiane Peltzer und Guido Peltzer in Germany

 

I am glad I found your website and had the chance to study your interesting
material.

Ulrike Chanteaux

Transformation Meditation is a wonderful resource to discover how to teach others about the benefits of a meditation practice. I especially appreciate the inclusion of yogic teachings. Imagine what our world will be like as more and more learn about Pure Consciousness!

Clara Vaughn, Summit, MO

 

It is the best course for all ages in this modern world.

Arul Francis, Rieti, Itally

 

I found the Foundation Series immensely enjoyable- a model of clarity. As a experienced meditator I can vouch for how well this course “cut to the chase” and distills the true essence of meditation. The Bhagavad Gita is an old friend but this delightful new course showed it in a new light.

Jim Small, Stoke- on-Trent, UK

 

The breathing technique I felt did effect endorphin production judging by the way I feel after doing it and unlike regular breathing which does not produce this result.

Gloria Browne, Therapist/Healer, Dublin, Ireland

 

Even after many years of studying such teachings, I found your presentation for teaching meditation was so refreshingly clear and comprehensive without becoming complicated – a really nice blend of Eastern tradition and wisdom with Western science. Again, thank you so much to you and Swami Shyam for this wonderful offering. May it be a nectar in the flowering of humanity.

About the Essence of Patanjali course: This is another exciting course, very deep and profound. In a way I'm sorry to have finished these courses, This is a real scholarship: the ultimate truth presented in a concise presentable course and brought to life by user friendly metaphors.

Jim Small. Stoke-one-Trent, UK

 

Thank you Sherrie for this wonderful course! It has deepened my own Meditation practice and I can\'t wait to share the benefits of Transformation Meditation with anyone who is interested. Thank you for providing a course that is full of information and yet easy to understand. It is also very affordable! The Divine is working through you! Thank you so much!

Jane H. Maney, Isle of Wight, UK

 

The lessons are going well and we always start our lessons with basic breathing followed by the deep abdominal breathing. We have has some wonderful moments with people sharing some amazing things. The Mantra resonates throughout the room now as the students are much more confident and it sounds fantastic!

Dawn Hart, Amitayus Wellbeing, Atherstone, UK

 

Doing this course felt like a meditation in itself. Brijendra´s style of writing and way of speaking have helped me to tune into a level deeper than the intellect. It feels like the Sanskrit word sounds open up the gates to the Sacred. I feel very enriched by the whole experience of this course.

I am very pleased I did this course as well as it complements and deepens the Teacher training meditation course. For me both courses form a unity and it might be helpful for future students to know this more explicitly. I know you offer a discount if you enroll for both courses at same time but maybe some more information on the link between these two courses could be helpful. I happened to discover your two videos on youtube. Well done! They are very clear and rich in content.

Emiel Honnay, Teruel, Spain

 

Excellent course very well written and easy to follow! Thank you Sherrie.

Carl Denton, Leicestershire, UK

 

Excellent course. For someone who has been actively meditating and following this path from the age of 15, I did not think there was much more I could learn about meditation, but this course has been exceptional, not only in my teaching practice but for my own growth too. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who is serious about their own growth, development and spiritual practice.

Alys G. Payge. Worcestershire, UK

 

"It's an excellent course and a real tool for well-being. I think that yoga meditation is an effective way to reach Union. Thanks for the CDs and manual: I couldn't stop reading it..so clear and nice. Meditation is a treasure for life and now I meditate every day and teach people. Thanks Shree, I'll be back for another course.

Romina Vergati, psychotherapist, Italy.

 

Very profound and clear - and convenient price! I was really surprised too see how many clinical researches are already done. There's no need to proselytize someone (clients), I can simply provide information and techniques with proven efficacy and benefits in most skeptical clinical environments. I’m now more confident to teach practices that worked for me although I'm not a "white-bearded guru in a cave". Thank you so much!

Evelin Tael, Kalda, Estonia

 

The Bagavad Gita home study course is ( like the other courses you have offered) a wonderful course, very well presented, beautifully written and pleasant to study. The CD is also excellent and adds an extra dimension to it. Many thanks.

Emiel Honnay, Teruel, Spain

 

Thank you for bringing it all together in this brilliant course.

Helene C Fleming, Nairn, UK

 

I love the teacher training course so much and can't wait to start teaching. I have relocated to Newquay, Cornwall, UK to practice as a Fine Artist, Reiki Practitioner and Meditation Teacher; I am so excited. Thank you for such a fantastic course...

Lauren Sabastian, Cornwall, UK

 

Several times I had tried to approach the highly esoteric Yog Sootras by Patanjali, but they would not reveal their secret to me. I am deeply grateful to Brijendra for having expounded this scripture in a way that makes it accessible to a western mind. Outstanding!

Ulrike Chanteaux, Germany

 

The course was easy to follow, straight forward and looks like it will be a good platform to not only teach others to meditate but also enhance my own meditation practice.

Matthew Nash, Surrey, UK

 

It has been a great course and fantastic value for my money. I would highly recommend. Thanks for sharing this knowledge with others.

Kim McCaffery, County Durham, UK

 

A fantastic course that has deepened my understanding and my practice. Sherrie's friendly style of writing is accessible, informative and a joy to read. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in meditation.

For me this was a very informative and well laid out course. it has provided me with tools to further my own journey and to help others.

Karen Farrelly, Alice Springs NT, Australia

 

This course was such great value (Doubt Free Meditation Foundation Series)! I had done the teacher training one, as i have meditated for the last 11 years. However, doing this one as well, was great as it explained some of the terminology and basics very simply, clearly and using FAB analogies. Thank you!

Mirva Bennetts, Pymble, Sydney, Australia

 

Thank you for the certificate it is lovely!! :-)) I enjoyed the CD boy does it work well. I can't wait to share this!!

Ericka Baker, Mundaring, Western Australia

 

Thank you for a fantastic course! I am a Natural Health Therapist and have recently opened a Wellbeing Centre. I am so pleased to now be able to offer 'Transformation Meditation' courses at my centre. I am also very grateful for my own growth and beautiful experiences throughout this course, and that, which is yet to come, as I continue my practice.

I have learned a lot from Brijendra's 2 audio CDs + workbook + Chanting CD. They are a constant reference I go to, and I will give them the highest rating. Thank you for sharing the tedious process of compiling a book, and please keep up the good work.

To Brijendra: Just as Shree has predicted, I was thrilled to receive your reply! Words cannot describe the impact your words had on me, there were incredible energies in them which permeated my being, as I put my hands together in namaste to bow to you, my palms were filled with energies, and my heart with bliss. I am so thankful for your guidance, you have given me a boost of confidence in my spiritual path!

It is incredible you know exactly what I meant in my brief 2 lines question. I was too shy to suggest I may have "accidentally" absorbed into my own nature.

I am grateful for your teaching in Yoga Sutra. I have read many versions, until I came across your teaching which opened the door for me, so far, it has been a wonderful journey.
