Happy, Loving and Beautiful.
Wherever you are.
You need strong determination and clarity to be happy. If you wait for people or circumstances to change, you will never ever be able to experience true happiness. For most people in the world, unhappiness has become a persistent habit. They don’t want to change their way of thinking. The irony is that most of us who are suffering know the cause of suffering too. But, we are too indecisive to act and be free.
Z Meditation is a Cognitive Meditation Work that aims at going to the deep subconscious roots of suffering which hide in the mind in the form of false beliefs and conditionings. Once a Z Meditator becomes aware of their presence, (s)he can use two logical tools – Deep Deconditioning Inquiry and Radiant Mantras – to root them out. This results in the experience of unconditioned peace, freedom and love.
The retreat has two levels of learning. In the first level, the entire theory of meditation and Deep Deconditioning Inquiry is taught. In the second, you learn the Radiant Mantras.
When you will leave the retreat after one week, your whole perspective on life changes. You stop blaming anybody else for who you are and how you feel. You realize that you are the only person responsible for your happiness, as well as unhappiness. Your mind achieves a calm and freedom that you might never have experienced before.
If there are some deep hurts hidden inside, you will be able to let them go. Your relationship with your family, friends and relatives will improve a lot. You will be a new person altogether. As they say in our scriptures, you will get a new birth – a spiritual one.
Benefits of Z M
Increased Self-Awareness
Through the practice of Deep Deconditioning Inquiry and Radiant Mantras, you will develop a greater understanding of your subconscious conditionings that may be holding you back from experiencing true happiness.
Inner Peace and Calm
Z Meditation will help quiet the mind and promote a state of deep relaxation, resulting in a sense of inner fulfillment and calm. You will see that your whole life will become much more joyful.
Spiritual growth
The retreat offers a path for spiritual growth and development. By connecting with your inner self and cultivating inner peace, you can experience a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in life.
Improved Relationships
As you become more aware of your own belief and behavior patterns, you will gain greater insight into the perspectives of others. This can lead to more empathetic and compassionate relationship with those around you.
Greater Resilience
Z Meditation will help you build emotional resilience and a sense of inner strength, enabling you to navigate life's challenges with grace and ease.
Enhanced Physical and Mental Well-being
Studies have shown that meditation has a range of positive effects on physical and mental health - from reducing stress and anxiety to improving sleep, immune function, and overall well-being.
Not a victim anymore
You will refuse to let anybody shatter your peace. You will no longer suffer due to the opinions of others, or whether the weather is pleasant or not, or if they understand your standpoint or not.
Unconditioned love
True love will bloom in your heart. It is very different from being overly sentimental, attached and dependent that only leads to suffering. You will want to become a personification of loving kindness.
Clear Priorities
You will do what you ought to do and you don’t do what you don’t have to. You are able to weigh the pros and cons of your actions in the light of your clear goals. Your mind attains freedom from all confusion.
Testimonials
We have been conducting these silent meditation retreats for the last twenty-seven years. Thousands of students have felt a lasting change in their lives. Here are a few accounts of their experiences:
A Life Changing Experience
It has been a life changing experience. It is definitely something that I have never experienced ever before and even when I did come here, I never imagined that such a thing would happen to me.
Pavithra
Beautiful Experience
The results are that I am much happier. I simply do my best at whatever I am doing in the moment, and strive to remain aware of who/what I really am. My life is now full of beautiful experiences, opportunities, acceptance and love. I finally feel peaceful and whole.
Darcey Donovan
Learnt Positivity
I work in a field that requires me to see so much negativity of the world every single day. After Z Meditation, my heart is filled with love and joy. Through all the trials I’ve faced over the last four years when I came to Z Meditation the first time, there is a constant underlying foundation of peace, of stillness, of constant contentment.
Jessika Ava
Joy of Unconditioned Happiness
Z Meditation has made apparent to me the essence of life, the joy of unconditioned happiness, and the flow of unconditional love through deconditioning and dis-identifying ourselves with our past and our vision of the future. I eternally thank you.
Gabriella
Teachings are Awesome and Logical
First of all I want to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for your eloquence, sincerity and intelligence. Your teachings are awesome and so logical. You teach your students to teach themselves!

Living In The Now
Soaking up the invaluable wisdom that was imparted to me from my teachers Ajay and Suruchi, I understood what it means to truly Live in the Now.
Clare
Feeling Perfect
The last two weeks have been perfect. I feel as though I have learnt so much about myself, as though I am being healed. I feel a lot more grounded in the technique, as the understanding is so much clearer.
Dana
I have Discovered Wisdom
These two weeks, I have discovered the wisdom I have for so long been seeking. I resolve to study, understand and embody the spirit of the Bhagwad Gita, every ounce of genius contained in it. It is the greatest thing I have ever read. On a daily level, I plan to continue my meditations and deepen my practice.

Z M Experience
My experience has been nothing less than fabulous. I can’t really put it in words. I have discovered my true Self.
Do you want to be happy? Live a life full of kindness and fulfilment? Are you ready to change? Then, do visit this place.
It has been an absolutely an eye-opening and wonderful experience for me. I am shocked at how easy and accessible they make meditation and getting to know yourself.
This retreat has opened my eyes to some truths of life – extreme profound wisdom – which I am going to take back with me.
It exceeded my expectations. The tools are really transformative. It is the perfect balance of being about the Self, without being selfish.
This is one experience that I cannot trade for anything else. I learned here how to be kind to yourself. I learned a lot and taking a lot with me.
The focus here is on understanding what the reason for your clutter is and how you can remove it. Once you remove that, you can be happy all the time.
I feel incredibly happy and peaceful. The gifts you receive here are immesurable. You get all the tools that you need in your life to be happy.
Coming to Z Meditation was a beautiful experience. Though I have been to different retreats, but here, they make the concepts so clear that it goes deep inside you.
