# Soma Meditation

> Vedic meditation taught by Sam Wysock-Wright. Courses, private mentoring, retreats, and the Soma app: a meditation, affirmation and manifestation app for iPhone and Android. Based near Lisbon, teaching online and in person.

Soma Meditation teaches Vedic meditation: a simple, effortless technique that uses a personal mantra for twenty minutes, twice a day. Founder Sam Wysock-Wright is a former joiner who recovered from eight years of chronic fatigue syndrome through daily practice, trained under a master teacher, and now teaches the same practice. The brand idea: when you feel safe inside, everything outside starts to change. The method has three stages: Feel Safe, See Clearly, Live Fully.

## The Soma app
Soma is a meditation, affirmation and manifestation app for iPhone and Android. It is built around one effortless, mantra-style Vedic practice rather than an endless library, and includes a full affirmation library, guided meditations, journaling, mood tracking, streaks and live group sittings.
- Manifestation, grounded: the affirmations and journaling are built for a grounded, evidence-based approach to manifestation (changing how you see yourself so you act differently), not wishful thinking.
- Platforms: iOS (Apple App Store) and Android (Google Play).
- Free: a free affirmation course, no card and no commitment.
- Paid: Base from £2.99/month, Premium £11.99/month (live group sessions and the full library).
