HI & cześć!
My name is Joanna Janke — a Primordial Sound Meditation teacher and a student of the body's own wisdom. I integrate both because I've found that meditation and somatic work together create something neither can alone: not just less stress, but a genuine, embodied sense of safety and a deeper layer to life.
You might know me as a Polish-born Berlin-based musicians' photographer. In both, I'm drawn to the same thing — seeing clearly, dropping beneath the surface, meeting what's actually there.
Who this is for
This work is for you if you've tried meditation and found it harder than it looked. If you feel the pull toward stillness but your body won't quite follow. If stress reduction feels like too small a promise — and you sense there's something deeper available, if only you could reach it.
It's also for you if you already meditate and feel ready to go deeper through the Vedic mantra tradition.
You don't need any experience. You need only a genuine curiosity and a willingness to show up for yourself.
About Primordial Sound
Meditation
Primordial Sound Meditation is an ancient meditation technique that uses a personal mantra to transcend thoughts and enter a deeper state of being - the gap between thoughts. This deep state is characterized by a profound silence and stillness, where the usual mental chatter and sensory inputs are minimized. It does not represent a decrease in awareness but instead a movement toward a more subtle, all-encompassing awareness.
Primordial Sound Meditation is a sister practice to Transcendental Meditation - both rooted in the same Vedic tradition and Adi Shankara lineage, using silent mantra repetition - with the key distinction lying in how each mantra is selected and personalized.
The Mantra
When you learn this practice with me, you'll receive your personal mantra - a sacred sound calculated from the exact time, date, and place of your birth. This mantra represents the vibrational sound the universe was making at the moment you entered the world. Your mantra becomes a vehicle - a bridge that carries you from the activity of daily life into the silence within. It's not just a technique; it's a pathway home to yourself.
The mantra in Primordial Sound Meditation is not meant to evoke memories of the specific circumstances of your birth but it aligns you with the underlying harmony and wisdom of the universe. It is a sound that resonates with your spirit, beyond any individual life event.
How PSM Changes Your Life
Imagine Primordial Sound Meditation as a quiet lake. On the surface, there might be ripples and waves caused by the winds of daily life: your thoughts, emotions, and external circumstances. As you begin to meditate, it’s like moving beneath the surface, where the water becomes calm, clear, and undisturbed.
In this deeper space, you find clarity and ease that are unaffected by the surface movement. With regular practice, the stillness and insights you encounter at this level begin to rise upward, influencing the surface of the lake. The more you meditate, the more the surface starts to reflect the calm and clarity from below.

→ primordial sound meditation program
The Primordial Sound Meditation program consists of 2 sessions (1:1 or group, online or in person). Each session runs 60–90 minutes, weaving PSM together with somatic awareness — so the practice lands not just in the mind but in the body too.
Primordial Sound Meditation program overview:
Lesson 1
The Foundation & Your Mantra
We explore what meditation really is, how it works beneath the surface, and why Primordial Sound Meditation is different from any other meditation technique. You'll begin to understand yourself as a multidimensional being — and then receive the personal mantra selected specifically for you using ancient Vedic mathematics, and meditate with it for the first time.
Lesson 2
The Practice and the Path
We get practical — when, where, how long, and what to do when questions arise. We meditate together, listen to what the body has to say, and look ahead at the deeper states of consciousness and quiet transformations that unfold through regular practice.

A standalone course for anyone curious about mantra meditation. You'll learn the foundations of the practice and meditate using a universal mantra — no prior experience needed.
