Integrated Amrita Meditation Technique

Integrated Amrita Meditation Technique Meditation is the art of mental mastery. The way we perceive the world around us completely depends upon our mind. The former is obviously impossible.

In our search for happiness, we essentially have two options—modify the entire world so that everything turns out exactly the way we want it or modify our mind so that we are able to be happy, content and peaceful, regardless of what happens in the external world. We have very little control over our external world. The only hope for happiness lies in controlling the inner world. Meditation is a key element in this process.

Professionals from various organizations and members of the Ayyappa Temple Samithi gathered at the Ayyappa Temple, Devi Nagar, Jaipur, to participate in the IAM Meditation Workshop, creating a sacred space filled with devotion and inner reflection.

Living away from their native roots, the gathering became a beautiful opportunity to reconnect with inner peace and a shared spiritual longing. Devotees of all ages—from enthusiastic youngsters to revered elders—came together, fostering a warm, inclusive, and prayerful atmosphere.

Developed by Amma, the IAM Meditation practice gently guides seekers toward balance, focus, and inner tranquillity. As Amma lovingly reminds us, “Meditation is as precious as gold. When compassion blossoms alongside meditation, it becomes like gold with a fragrance—priceless and utterly unique.” Participants experienced a nurturing and sacred environment to pause, breathe, and surrender inward, drawing strength to face daily life with calmness and grace.

"We sincerely thank the IAM team for offering this profound meditation practice developed by Amma, which helped everyone reconnect with inner peace and spiritual harmony. May Amma’s grace continue to guide us all on the path of balance, compassion, and devotion,” said Mr. Chellappan Nair, President of the Ayyappa Temple Samithi, and Ms. Usha Surendran, President of the Mahila Sangham, Ayyappa Seva Samajam, Devinagar, Jaipur.

We offer our heartfelt gratitude to all devotees for opening their hearts to this divine practice and for taking a meaningful step toward personal upliftment and collective harmony.

Teachers shape not only young minds, but also young hearts. Recognizing the importance of inner balance in the life of an educator, the Integrated Amrita Meditation (IAM 20) training was conducted online for the teachers of Amrita Vidyalayam, Puthiyakavu.

In the midst of lesson planning, classroom responsibilities, and the emotional needs of students, teachers often place their own well-being last. IAM 20 offers a simple and practical way to return to inner calm. The 20-minute daily practice helps reduce stress, quiet the mind, and cultivate patience, clarity, and emotional stability, qualities that are essential in the classroom.

As teachers deepen their own inner awareness through meditation, its benefits naturally flow to the children they teach each day. A calm and centered teacher creates a classroom atmosphere filled with trust, attentiveness, and compassion. Students respond not only to words, but to the presence of the teacher, learning values such as focus, kindness, and balance through daily interaction.

Through the IAM 20 training, teachers were guided to reconnect with themselves. Even though the training was conducted online, a shared sense of sincerity and reflection emerged, reminding participants that meditation is a quiet support that can be carried into every aspect of life.

The IAM20 online series of refresher courses was a heartfelt space where practitioners came together to renew their meditation journey. Whether someone had been practising for years or had recently felt the call to go deeper, the refresher courses helped everyone reconnect with the power of pausing, breathing, and grounding in stillness.

Life’s pace can sometimes make even dedicated practitioners feel distant from their practice. The refresher course helped bring attention back to the breath, the body, and the stillness within. A refresher helps reset intentions, clear mental clutter, and cultivate greater depth in daily meditation.
Amma highlights the essence of meditation in a beautiful way.
“Meditation is as precious as gold. If along with our meditation we develop compassion, it is like gold with a fragrance, something priceless and utterly unique.” This reminder encourages each of us to treat our meditation practice not just as a habit, but as a precious space where we cultivate love, awareness, and inner joy.

In today’s fast-moving world, people carry many roles and responsibilities, often leaving little time to pause and breathe. The online Integrated Amrita Meditation (IAM 20) training offered such a pause, a sacred window where individuals from across the globe could turn inward, even while remaining fully engaged with their outer lives.

Participants joined from many countries, including an Ayurveda and yoga teacher from Switzerland, professionals working in the development sector and private firms in India, a coach from the Netherlands, a knowledge manager and a medical doctor from Germany, a Waldorf teacher from Croatia, a software engineer from the USA, and a retired participant from Italy. Though separated by geography and profession, all were drawn by a shared wish, to cultivate inner stillness through IAM 20.

Amma gently reminds us, “True happiness is already within us. Practice regularly. When the awareness grows, we will merge into that reality, that happiness within us.” The daily practice of IAM 20 offered participants a direct way to experience this truth for themselves, by turning inward consistently, amidst busy schedules and responsibilities, and reconnecting with the quiet source of peace that already exists within.

Women play many roles in life and often balance multiple responsibilities simultaneously. Each role comes with its own challenges—from academic pressures and career ambitions to personal well-being and emotional health. Recognizing the importance of nurturing inner strength, a special IAM Meditation workshop was offered to girl students and professors of St. Wilfred College for Girls, Jaipur, Rajasthan.

The workshop provided a safe and supportive space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with oneself. It helped participants manage everyday pressures as well as deeper emotional stresses commonly experienced by women, including exam anxiety, lifestyle-related stress, and mental fatigue.

The Integrated Amrita Meditation (IAM) Technique, created by Amma, brings mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical relaxation. As Amma beautifully says, “The source of fulfilment lies deep within each one of us. Meditation is a wonderful way to access this wellspring of happiness.”

Through this session, participants experienced renewed energy, improved focus, and a sense of inner peace, empowering them to approach their studies, work, personal goals, and life’s challenges with greater resilience, confidence, and balance.

“The IAM Meditation training was deeply calming and empowering for both students and professors. It helped us release stress, gain clarity, and reconnect with inner peace. We are grateful to Amma for offering this transformative practice. I am eagerly waiting to meet Amma.”, remarked Dr. Minal Bafna, Principal, Wilfred Girls College, Jaipur.

Dr. B. Lal Institute of Biotechnology, Jaipur, recently hosted an IAM Meditation Workshop that energized professors and research scholars by offering a comforting space that encouraged relaxation and deeper connection. Created by Amma, this meditation technique helps individuals cultivate balance, focus, and inner peace, and it was warmly embraced by all who attended.

Biotechnology involves careful experimentation, detailed research, and rigorous analysis, demanding both patience and mental sharpness. Students and professors often juggle complex projects alongside personal commitments, which can sometimes lead to stress and fatigue. IAM Meditation offers a practical way to recharge the mind, body, and spirit, enabling participants to navigate academic and professional challenges with greater clarity and calm.

Regular practice of IAM can help reduce stress, improve concentration, and foster a sense of inner tranquility. Whether conducting experiments, analyzing data, or engaging in academic discussions, this practice empowers students and faculty to remain composed, centered, and compassionate.

We sincerely thank the students and faculty of Dr. B. Lal Institute of Biotechnology Jaipur, for embracing IAM and taking a meaningful step toward personal well-being. A balanced mind not only enhances learning and research but also contributes to a more harmonious academic community.

"The IAM Meditation Workshop was a truly enriching experience for our professors and researchers. In today’s demanding academic environment, such practices are essential to maintain mental balance, focus, and overall well-being. We are grateful for this initiative and appreciate the opportunity it provided our academic community to experience inner calm and renewed energy.", remarked Dr. Aparna Dutta, Principal, Dr. Blal Institute of Biotechnology, Jaipur,Rajasthan.
