“When Jillian Lavender (@jillianlavender) first learned to meditate over 20 years ago, she had no idea that it would lead to her helping thousands of people transform their lives through the ancient practice.

The founder of the London and New York Mediation Centres was working in publishing in Sydney and struggling with corporate burnout, thanks to a busy lifestyle that saw her jetting to different timezones for book launches.

Feeling fed up with the familiar stress cycle, she signed onto a local meditation course and unlocked a suite of tools that allowed her to navigate her high-stress lifestyle with greater mental resilience.

After throwing herself wholly into the practice, she received an invitation to train in India with Vedic meditation master Thom Knoles, and later launched her career in teaching meditation.

While in India in 2005, Jillian met her partner, Michael Miller, and together they went on to establish leading meditation centres on both sides of the Atlantic. This spring, she will release ‘Do Reset: Meditate’, an easy-to-follow pocket guide on finding moments of everyday clarity in times of stress.

Ahead of its launch, we sat down with Jillian to learn more about Vedic meditation – what it is, how it works and why everyone should try it.”
