VEDIC MEDITATION AND
WELLNESS EXPERT
Jillian has been teaching people to meditate since 2003. She co-founded London Meditation Centre and New York Meditation Center with her partner, Michael Miller, and is based in London. Through teaching Vedic Meditation, the world’s most ancient form of meditation, Jillian has helped thousands of people across the globe to transform their lives.
Originally from New Zealand, Jillian held senior business roles in Sydney, Paris and New York. During this demanding time leading global publishing companies, she learned Vedic Meditation. The improvements to her life were immediate. Her stress levels began to dissolve and the fatigue began to subside.
When work brought her to London, Jillian took some time to review where she was in her life. She left her CEO role, and headed for the US, and then to India, where she trained with her teacher, Vedic master Thom Knoles, Maharishi Vyasanand Saraswati, to become a meditation teacher.
Alongside teaching meditation, Jillian is also an expert in Ayurveda and consults on health, diet, sleep, fertility and lifestyle. She delivers this ancient knowledge in an accessible and practical way for modern life.

Interested in learning to meditate?
The next step is to sign up for a free Introductory Talk. An hour-long session where you’ll learn about Vedic Meditation, how it works and how it’s taught. From there, you can join the basic meditation course.
Get Started
We had our annual in-person Christmas get together + group meditation with 100+ students in London the other night.
Since the pandemic we’ve been offering a lot more of our group meditation sessions on Zoom which has made it more accessible for a lot of people.
Plus the group effect of meditation is still very much a thing, even though we’re all meditating in our homes.
And… nothing beats the feeling of getting together in a room with 100+ meditators and closing the eyes.
Even though there’s no such thing as a ‘bad meditation’, those big group ones are always worth it. Everyone leaves glowing – inside and out!
And having time to hang out, chat, drink chai and eat mince pies. Nice.

Great to speak with @elenabowes recently for her podcast, “Elena Meets the Author” - we spoke about why I was motivated to write my book and how #VedicMeditation is such a vital tool for every aspect of our being.
Elena says: “for anyone feeling a tad overwhelmed, like there’s just too much information, too much disinformation, too much coming at you, may I suggest reading Jillian’s insightful book. And tuning into our chat.”

This time of year can feel a little like the start of a new year - there’s that back-to-school feeling in the air, and a sense of wanting to get things back into gear.
September is a great moment to put attention on the daily habits that make a positive difference. That’s why we’re offering a workshop this month, all about pushing reset on your meditation.

An amazing two weeks! Hosting Dr Padma Raju and Harish Raju for Ayurvedic consultations and treatments here in London. An incredible opportunity for hundreds of people to receive treatment from one of the best Ayurvedic doctors in the world. We so loved having her here.

Almost a year ago today I got the call from @thedolectures, asking if I’d step in last minute to be a speaker at the Do Lectures 2023, an amazing 4 day gathering of change-makers that happens every year in the wild west of Wales.
Their instruction: “Give the talk you’ve never given before.”
I had just five days to prepare.
As a #VedicMeditation teacher, I talk a lot about meditation – and yet much less about me and how it has impacted my life.
This talk had to be different. It had to be personal and it had to stretch beyond simply talking about the benefits of sitting around with your eyes closed each day.
It was a leap. It was new for me to ‘go for it’ in this way. And I knew this would be a super sharp audience.
I didn’t know how it would land, and yet it was absolutely the thing to do.
The response was amazing and it was one of the highlights of my teaching career.
I’ve put my talk in the link in bio if you’d like to go back and watch.

What’s the best time to meditate in the afternoon?
The best window for afternoon meditation is any time after lunch has digested, up until 8pm. We don’t want to meditate too late at night as it will wake us up.
Here’s a snapshot of me fitting in my meditation mid-afternoon before I head off for the school run. Setting me up for the evening with energy and clarity.

@miller_ji and I loved seeing our @londonmeditationcentre students on Saturday for a Rounding Workshop.
“Rounding” is a simple series of asanas and breathing technique which can be practised alongside #VedicMeditation.
It has many powerful benefits - enhancing stress release, clearing out deep fatigue. You feel brighter, clearer and more stable.

I was chatting with one of my students the other day about @lizearleme’s brilliant new bestseller, “A Better Second Half”.
This is such a comprehensive and easy-to-read book in which Liz draws down on her experience across so many areas, from eating, exercise, gut health, supplements and more.
In the section “Protecting the Brain”, Liz talks about the importance of meditation in allowing the brain to rest and recharge.
It’s been a joy working with Liz on refining her own daily #VedicMeditation practice and I’m thrilled she’s included this in her book.
Thanks Liz for highlighting us as your recommended place to learn to meditate. And huge congratulations on hitting the bestseller lists. So very well deserved.
PS if you’d like to hear more, check out my interview with Liz on her podcast, The Liz Earle Wellbeing Show. Link in bio to listen.
