Quiet Mind Meditation

Sarah is a meditation teacher based in Melbourne (Australia) and Founder of Quiet Mind Meditation (2009) and The Meditation Box (2022) Life is busy. And noisy.

After a long and challenging corporate career that came to a crossroad following the Global Financial Crisis .. Sarah took herself off to a meditation retreat and realised it was time to share her passion for meditation (her secret weapon in life) through Quiet Mind Meditation. Having meditated for more than 20+ years, Sarah is well aware of the challenges that life can present, and is eternally grateful that she learnt to meditate as a teenager .. and continued to meditate through all the ups and downs and meanderings. We are constantly bombarded with information .. words, thoughts, sights, sounds, smells .. that cause us to live in a state of perpetual edginess with no time to processes everything. But when we live on 'fast-forward' we miss the moments we have right now, and this can leave us with a residue of something missing. We disconnect from life and our sense of self. The ability to be both extremely relaxed physically and mentally, while remaining alert and awake, is one way to describe the meditative state. Research clearly shows that a regular meditation practice teaches us how to self manage our stress, which positively influences our inner biochemistry; improving our physical and emotional health, providing more restful sleep and improved energy levels alongside increased ability to cultivate positive emotions and a deeper understanding of who we are in our quietest moments.

What if you could move through your day with more clarity … instead of constant distraction?

We live in a world designed to scatter our attention.

So, it’s no wonder that at times, it feels really hard to focus.
 Meditation is often called ‘mind training’ because it helps train the mind to come back, again and again, to what truly matters.
 Is it time you learned to meditate?

The NEXT Exploring Meditation course starts -Mon 5th Jan 2026.

Over 40 days, I’ll guide you through practices that clear the fog and sharpen your focus.

A fresh year. A blank page.
 One quiet moment a day.

Exploring Meditation -
Begins 5 January

This is a 40day course that is delivered straight to your inbox with a morning email with your lesson for the day, and a guided meditation (audio).

Each day will build your practice, and your commitment, and give you the chance to explore a range of different practices - so you can find the practice that best suits YOU!

This course is drawn from my own meditation journey of 30+ years and explores the breath, the body, mindfulness and mantra. ALL of which are part of my daily practice today 🙏🏼

A busy day … and I can feel a rising sense of ‘silly’ urgency and pressure to get things done .. as the days and weeks seem to be racing now.

It’s the silly season.

I must try to:
meditate a little longer in the morning walk twice a day along my little beach settle into bed a little earlier, and get more sweet sleep eat more whole, grounding foods to satisfy and stabilize sit in the sunshine and let dreams weave through my mind see if my ‘word’ for 2026 - which has caught my attention three times today - feels the same in a week hug my little one, even more 🐶 smile more at the stressed faces I see on my walk laugh, and be playful!

Summer is almost here. ☀️

I love Summer .. for so many reasons, but it’s also a time to pause and spend time with family and friends .. 🏝️

Keeping to our self-care practices and rituals is so important at this time of year.

If you want to explore the wonders of meditation with me .. my ‘Exploring Meditation’ course begins again, to serenade the New Year, starting 5th January 2026.

Wasn’t going to go for another walk today … but Lola 🐶 was insistent.

And what a beautiful walk we had .. little moments of joy along the way, a smile and hello, and my sweet girl racing to the waters edge and chasing seagulls!

It’s always worth the walk.

Day 31 – The Wisdom of Discomfort

(inside our Exploring Meditation course)

Meditation isn’t always calm and serene.

Sometimes, aches, tightness, or tension show up - louder in the stillness than in the busy rush of life.

But here’s the gift: discomfort in meditation is a chance to practice something we all need in life - the ability to quietly notice, observe, and sit with what’s uncomfortable without judgment.

When we meet mild pain with curiosity … “Oh hello, shoulder ache” … and pay attention to our reaction rather than the sensation itself, we build insight and resilience.

Over time, this practice can help us manage discomfort in daily life too, teaching us that while pain may be inevitable, suffering is optional.

Inside our Exploring Meditation course, today’s guided meditation gives us an opportunity to explore mild discomfort in the body, inviting awareness, curiosity, and kindness … and perhaps discovering a new way to relate to those tight spots in both body and mind.

✨ Everything changes and flows. Even discomfort.

Many people skip meditation because they think they need to stop thinking!

The truth?

That’s impossible … and trying only makes thoughts LOUDER.

Ancient practices offer us a range of simple antidotes: including from the Vipassana tradition where we are advised that rather than fighting our mind, we might notice our thoughts, give them a friendly nod, and let them pass.

Out lesson tomorrow, inside our Exploring Meditation course, is thus sweet reminder … the mind doesn’t need silencing, it needs witnessing.

Even in chaos, like a busy day or a screaming child, acknowledging your thoughts can create surprising ease.

Curious?

Sometimes the gentlest way to calm your mind is to say hello to it first. 💛

Melbourne in November.

The city hums with energy and events. The days are growing longer, gardens are bursting into bloom, and afternoons roll into cool evenings. The air carries that unmistakable sense of anticipation that arrives just before summer.

It’s a month that feels both festive and full of potential.

There is also a lot to get done before the end of year and Christmas celebrations, and the long awaited summer break. 🏝️

So, I am welcoming November with a list to keep me accountable and on track - and hopefully not stressed to suddenly find it is Christmas!

Things I will do this November:

+ Finish our Christmas Gift Guide - I want to share some lovely books and other meditation gifts for your favourite people (or you!) - stay tuned

+ I’ve been working on a new look for our Meditation Intention Bracelets and excited to see the collection life again this season

+ I can tick off the 2026 Exploring Meditation course dates which are now LIVE - read more on the Blog. Some other classes to be announced soon.

+ A bittersweet farewell coming up for our current group of Exploring Meditation participants who have to be congratulated for completing 40-days of meditation and just being a great group 🙏🏼

+ I am super excited to be participating in the Forest Rocks Qigong - 7 Day Qi Gong Challenge - you can watch me on stories - and JOIN ME - link in my bio

+ And .. I’m hopeful that our first Summer swim is not far away - it’s always magic. My dog (and I) are keen - bring on the warm weather!

What about you - how is your November looking?

Ever noticed how a recipe only comes alive when you add a little of you?
 It’s the same with meditation.

Our practice (and the instructions that I share) may offer the steps … a gentle sequence to guide you inward …
 but it is your presence that transforms the practice into something soulful.

That’s where the magic begins. ✨

NEXT Exploring Meditation our 40-day course - starts 5th January 2026

Explore a range of soulful “recipes” to find what best suits YOU!
