Soma Meditation is a modern meditation platform founded by Sam Wysock-Wright. It blends ancient Vedic meditation practices with neuroscience-informed tools to support nervous system recovery, stress relief, and emotional resilience.
The platform includes two main components:
A live course where users are taught Vedic meditation in small groups
The Soma App, which offers guided meditations, movement, breathwork, and manifestation tools
Soma is designed to be approachable for beginners and particularly supportive for those recovering from burnout, chronic stress, or fatigue-related illness.
-
The core practice is Vedic meditation, taught in a four-part course with a personalised mantra
Once trained, users practise twice a day for 20 minutes, using the technique to access deep rest and calm
The Soma App provides:
A 15-part video meditation course
A 12-week manifestation programme
Daily affirmation and breathwork sessions
Movement practices including Pilates and yoga
Live group meditation sessions
Courses are available in person (e.g. in Lisbon) or online
App subscriptions are available monthly, annually, or as a one-time lifetime purchase
-
Sam developed Soma after recovering from chronic fatigue syndrome, and the method is shaped by his lived experience
Vedic meditation does not involve focus or breath control, making it accessible for people with fatigue or brain fog
The app integrates mindset, movement, and rest tools in one place, which can help users avoid overwhelm
You don’t need to do the live course to benefit from the app, but it may enhance your practice
