In this enlightening Episode 61, host Jodi Duval welcomes Erin Hoey, founder of House of Bhavana, who brings a fresh perspective on meditation tailored for contemporary life. Erin’s approach resonates through her philosophy: “I don’t want meditation to be just another thing on your to-do list. I want to make you fall in love with meditation. I want it to be something you look forward to.”
This conversation explores Vedic Meditation as a powerful foundation for an aligned and flowing life – an effective antidote to stress that connects practitioners to their most tuned-in and energised selves. Through meditation, Erin explains, we access the state of ‘being’ – the origin of consciousness, creativity, presence, clarity, energy and calm.
Erin offers a transformative perspective, emphasising that each person has the innate capability to become an exceptional meditator, echoing Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s wisdom: “The important thing is this: to be able at any moment, to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.”
The discussion covers:
- The rich history and evolution of meditation practices
- Distinctions between various meditation techniques and their physiological effects
- Common misconceptions about meditation and how to overcome them
- How meditation can be relevantly integrated into modern daily life
- Practical examples of the meditation techniques Erin teaches
- The structure of her courses and ongoing support for practitioners

Drawing from her extensive experience with various meditation styles and comprehensive teacher training, Erin offers a pragmatic, soulful, and scientifically-supported approach to teaching ‘real meditation for real life.’ Her courses equip participants with a self-sufficient daily practice they’ll understand, benefit from immediately, and genuinely anticipate with pleasure.
