Ziva Meditation

I have been meditating for many years. I am a podcast host and one of my guests told me about Ziva. I signed up for the course with very low expectations. Emily completely exceeded my expectations with her take on meditation. I love that she backs up things with scientific evidence. No wonder she is leading with such success. I find her absolutely brilliant!

I have mixed feelings about Emily's mass market meditation practice. I do believe there are some immediate, high quality benefits. At the same time, she offers herself as being accessible -- and the reality is that she's so busy commercializing / branding herself, that she seemingly has little interest in actual clients. My message to her is: either you're available, or you aren't.

It's been 90 days since I took the course in person. My experience has been extraordinary in so many ways. I meditate every single day and have gained so much value. There have been many breakthroughs and look forward to many more. I come from a world of personal development and growth. Started 13 years ago and now work for Tony Robbins. I have studied from many of the great teachers and Emily is by far one of my top 5. Emily teaches 100% of the material and is easily approachable! She is extremely kind, thoughtful, wise, brilliant, and extremely funny. She has such a huge heart. The way she teaches makes learning the material effortlessly.

I recently completed the Ziva LIVE Nov training in NYC. I found it worth my time and money. The program focuses on providing tools, ways of thinking about meditation to help you get started with your effort. Success stories and scientific explanations are provided in the training, and there is a group meditation each day with discussion after. The group training provided a way to meet others, hear about their efforts, challenges and progress. The Ziva staff and Emily create a welcoming environment for all. Everyone is encouraging, and there is ongoing support after the training is over. Since I live in NYC, I look forward to coming back for group meditations. If you are unsure I would suggest reading her book, and info on the site. It will help you in your decision.

Emily Fletcher’s Ziva has changed my life! I started with the Ziva Online program, then Ziva Live and now Moving into Mastery. I’ve experimented with a number of other meditation programs, none can compare. Emily uses relatable stories to explain and illustrate. She shares her never ending knowledge of the Vedas and answers questions before you even think of what to ask. I highly recommend all of her programs!

About a month ago, my good friend said to me “I’ve been reading this book about meditation and the author is doing a talk, it’s in NYC and I want you to go and tell me about it” - she knew about my meditation practice and thought I would enjoy what Emily had to say. So I signed up for the intro talk, didn’t look her up and almost forgot all about it until the day of when I got the calendar reminder. So I went and before the talk was over I was yelling inside my head “sign me up!!!” I drank the cool-aid... Emily talked about different subjects that are important to me and that I resonate with - India, yoga, Ayurveda, well-being just to name a few. So I signed up to zivaLIVE and it was incredible to say the least. I really enjoyed the science behind it and the methodology that Emily talks about. At first I was not sure this was going to apply to me because it was targeted to an audience of go-go-go individuals who are too stressed out with no time for themselves and ready for burnout. That is not me, I am very lucky to have a very flexible work schedule, my boss believes in quality of work over quantity of hours worked so I go to work to do what I need to do and then I leave, not punching a card or looking at time. That’s really the biggest determinant to my current state of mind and lifestyle, I have a lot of free time and before I did the zivaLIVE training I was beginning to lose myself and my center because this might be getting too personal but I think it’s worth mentioning for the purpose of my review my husband and I are going on a fertility treatment ride that we couldn’t have ever imagined would be as rough as it has been. When we started trying to expand our family, we got pregnant right away, we were so happy it happened right away - sadly, had a miscarriage a month later and learned a lot about how common miscarriages are. Then we continued our journey and after a year of trying naturally, we decided to go into fertility treatments and here’s where this all ties together - this brought a level of anxiety, uncertainty and confusion, not to mention this topic took over our lives. The hardest part of this process for me is the harvesting the egg phase where while on hormones, ovaries get so big that the doctors recommend not doing any vigorous exercise for high risk of ovarian torsion. So doing this training gave me light into what life has become for me: meditation to be able to move forward. Emily’s program is geared to help you understand how you can improve your health, your relationships to yourself and to others, your performance and just get better at life. I 100% recommend it, it’s an investment in your wellbeing.

Meditation isn't at all what I thought it was going to be, and Emily is the perfect teacher to explain that, truly, anyone can do it. She is a positive force of nature and an absolute light to everyone who meets her. I don't want to say that either Emily or meditation has changed my life because that gives too much power to something other than myself. But as an invaluable tool that I have used both to change my life for the better and to not stress unduly during the "rough" times, meditation has been essential to my physical and mental health and my personal and professional success. Thank you, Emily and Ziva Meditation!

Emily Fletcher and The Z Technique have changed me forever. I've never "really" meditated before this except for downloading an app, using it once or twice, and deleting it. But this woman, this technique, this promise to get your butt in the chair, is all ESSENTIAL if you want to become the BEST version of YOU. I'm so grateful for this practice and I would happily put an infinity after the 5-star rating. I can't wait to go to NYC someday so I can personally thank Emily and her team. SO AWESOME!!!

Ziva Mediation is amazing! Emily and her technique are life changing and easily explained and taught for ANYONE non meditators and mediator failures!. The studio itself is so relaxing and calming and is just a beautiful space to learn meditation! It’s worth the investment!!!

I love Ziva. Learning to meditate has very drastically changed my life in so many ways. I used to have anger issues, control issues, and a slew of health issues. After meditating for a year and a half, I am much calmer, much more at ease, more readily "go with the flow" which my friends and family love, of course, and my health issues are a thing of the past. Also, Emily has a whole article about how meditation will improve your sex life... I won't go into detail, but yes, it will... All in all, Ziva Meditation is amazing and I wouldn't be where I am today without it. Not to mention, the space is warm and cozy and insulated from the hustle and bustle of the city, despite being located in the heart of the garment district. If you're at all interested in meditating - AT ALL - go see Emily at Ziva.
