The journey of self-realization and evolution is an ever-evolving story.

In the arc of a personal narrative, it is always good to remember that we design our lives with our choices, as well as, influences from Nature and our ability to perceive the greatest reality that is ever present. Taking a path that includes Vedic Meditation, helps clear away distortion from stress accumulation and clarifies our vision and understanding of what is possible in our lives.

Though there are many paths to self-realization and expanded Consciousness,
Vedic Meditation was the one I chose because it came with the most ease and joy.

Su-Jung is a Vedic Meditation teacher based in Brooklyn, New York.

She lives in Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn with her partner and their two mini long-haired dachshunds named Surya & Chandra Soma aka “Chani.”

She found her way to Vedic Meditation through her own philosophical curiosity and well-being journey. As a student of Human Nature, she studied it through the lens of art and then holistic medicine. Ultimately, she found the most comprehensive worldview in Vedic Meditation.

BACKGROUND

Su was born to Korean parents in Saigon, Vietnam, towards the fall of Saigon. Her first moments on earth were of a chaotic and uncertain time. She believes these early experiences shaped her understanding of the world and inspired her desire to bring more vibrations of peace.

Her early developmental years were infused with experience living in East Asia, Europe and the Middle East before her family settled in the deep American South. In trying to better understand herself and her place in the world, she has tried to integrate the vast range of cultures she had the great privilege to experience. Through it all she seeks to find the unifying qualities that connect us all.

She holds a dual MFA Master of Fine Art from Tufts University and School of Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, as well as, a MSTOM Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Science in New York.

By integrating all the knowledge from these experiences and perspectives, she created a private practice in New York in 2015 and cultivated a deeper understanding of the human psyche and physiology.

When she learned Vedic Meditation from Robert Hammond, she quickly felt the benefits of accelerated progressive evolution. On her first trip to India with Thom Knoles in January 2017, she felt a sense of coming home. This trip catalyzed her desire for more knowledge and ultimately led her to become a Vedic Meditation teacher.

As a Vedic Meditation teacher, she teaches her students how to meditate using this transformative technique and empowers people to find alignment with their personal dharma and nature’s intent.
