Kimberley Chan - From Corporate Lawyer to Meditation Teacher

Kimberley Chan devoted over a decade to a career as a senior lawyer in international corporate organisations – which meant long, hard hours, high pressure and no room for failure. Whilst she had a solid, well-paying job, lived in a beautiful house in a gorgeous part of Sydney and was surrounded by a loving family and friends, she felt drained of life and by life.  She was spent.
 
After completing a major corporate restructure that took almost a year to complete, Kimberley felt absolutely depleted, leading her GP to send her off for the usual myriad of blood tests. When the results showed everything to be fine, it was then suggested Kimberley try meditation.
 
Kimberley spent a year of dipping her toes into various meditation styles – from mindfulness breathing to Buddhist, with varying degrees of success - before coming across Vedic Meditation. This technique was, by far, the most natural and effortless practice she had experienced. 
 
“As I continued my twice daily meditation practice, I discovered a way to live and maintain the healthy, engaged and vibrant life I wanted, without feeling drained and withdrawing from the people and things I love.  My physical and mental health improved dramatically. And, perhaps most importantly, I established clarity, purpose and a foundation upon which to view my life and my role in life,” says Kimberley Chan.
 
Unlike other styles of meditation, there is no rigidity in the Vedic technique – there is no need to sit in a particular pose for long periods of time, and it does not require any force, concentration or effort.
 
“The use of the mantra made it easy for me to move from the usual active thought filled states towards the quieter, subtler layers of the mind and eventually to the quietest, most peaceful state.”
 
Vedic Meditation is designed specifically for people like you and I. Students are encouraged to practice twice a day for 20 minutes. Once you have been properly instructed, you can meditate anywhere – in a park, on the bus, in the office or at home, making it easy to incorporate meditation into your daily life.
 
Since completing her year-long integrated initiator training in 2015, Kimberley has graduated as a meditation teacher and established her own Sydney practice, Kimberley Chan Meditation. Today, she works with a broad spectrum of clients, from corporate professionals to mothers, students and kids as young as 7 years old. 
 
Whilst apps and online meditation courses can serve as a useful tool to introduce meditation, nothing beats having a teacher in front of you teaching you the technique step by step and being available to answer your questions on the spot, as well as providing you with follow up and support as you develop your meditation practice.
 
Kimberley is passionate about making Vedic Meditation accessible, practical and easy to incorporate into our modern lives. She loves teaching people meditation as the foundation to become more grounded, creative, healthier and happier.
