When the World Feels Heavy, Try This
We’ve all been going through a lot lately…Here in the U.S. and around the world. The pace, the news, the collective stress… It can feel overwhelming at times.
At Veda, our mission has always been to bring forward ancient tools that can help us meet the challenges of this modern world. Tools that have been tested and proven for thousands of years, and that can offer us a sense of calm and grounding even in turbulent times.
Today, we want to share one of those tools with you.
Here’s a short, less-than-20-minute practice you can do at home: Viparita Karani (Legs Up the Wall).
This posture is simple, accessible, and deeply calming for the nervous system.
Along with the video, I am also giving you a free guide so you can bring this practice into your daily life whenever you need a reset.
We truly believe (and trust) that this simple practice can improve your well-being.
And if you ever feel called to go deeper, just a reminder that our next retreat Return to Radiance is coming up soon. It’s a space to immerse yourself fully in practices like this, reconnect with yourself, and return home recharged.
With gratitude,
Therese
If something inside you is whispering, “I need more of this,” then we have something for you.
Return to Radiance Retreat is not just another retreat. It’s a deep-dive into these ancient tools, simplified, embodied, and practical for conscious humans like you who are ready to stop chasing and start transforming. Because the real retreat begins when you go back to your life.
We’ll work with breath, stillness, movement, nature, sound, and silence, not as rigid rituals, but as living, breathing practices you’ll carry with you beyond the retreat.
We believe art is a timeless and practical tool for transformation, too, that’s why we have invited contemporary artist Davina Stephens, who will bring her creative magic into Return to Radiance, weaving art into our retreat experience alongside other ancient practices.
If you're ready to finally integrate timeless practices into your everyday rhythm, not as another "should," but as sacred nourishment, then this is your sign.
