About Us
the Meditation Box
.. is the culmination of my own life-long meditation practice and close-to-thirteen years of teaching and writing and sharing all that I can about my passion for meditation.
The idea actually arose in meditation, several years ago, and has been quietly marinating in the soil of daily life and daily practice.
Until, I recently met an inspiring small business owner who had started a subscription box business .. and I was so intrigued that my little seed started blossoming.
I quickly realised that the excitement of receiving a physical Meditation Box could be the ‘missing element’ for those individuals keen to start a meditation practice but unsure where to begin, as well as those looking to reconnect with their practice.
Curiosity is an invaluable attitude for meditation (and for life).
A Special Delivery!
Imagine the surprise and delight ..
* ordering the Meditation Box while unsure of all its contents .. adding an element of surprise and curiosity
* waiting (patiently or not so patiently) for delivery of the box .. heightening that sense of suspense and intrigue
* finally receiving, opening and uncovering all the delights .. just like Christmas, engaging and joyful
* touching, feeling and exploring each item .. encouraging exploration, observation and investigation
* trying new practices .. triggering a fresh sense of engagement and the potential for new insights and the motivation to continue.
Each unique seasonal box will deliver a new theme and introduce you to some small artisan Australian suppliers .. to expand your understanding and experience of meditation.
Meet Sarah + Quiet Mind Meditation
I learned to meditate as a teenager and was inspired by my first experience. Soon I couldn’t help but share my new passion, because I found it to be a potent tool for my anxiety and sense of disconnection (after all, I was a teenager!). Over the years, I have experienced so many profound benefits to this little practice of ‘sitting’ each day .. it has been my best ‘life tool’ as I navigated exams, job interviews, a corporate career, being a single mum, and just, juggling all the balls. In 2009, I started teaching meditation full time. Over the years my personal practice has changed, expanded, deepened .. I teach a more contemporary practice now, rooted in the varied buddhist traditions that inspired my youthful exploration, and informed by the rapidly unfolding science that continues to support the value of a regular meditation practice for physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
the Meditation Box has been birthed from the alchemy of my own meditation journey. Welcome!

“When I look around my own meditation space, or when I sense that I need fresh sustenance or ritual or ceremony to anchor me back into my practice (because despite having a life long practice there are still days when I too wobble) .. there are special items that I reach for to bring me back .. and this is what I have looked to source for The Meditation Box”.
