Rich Muir

Rich Muir – Combining ancient meditation practices with cutting-edge science techniques.

Rich knows first hand the stressors that come from business, both running and being employed. His experience is vast from sales, management, to running his own businesses, involved in partnerships and working with many successful business owners. He came to meditation over 15 years ago due to stress. Early 30’s, wife and 2 children and he was gripped by increasing lethargy and fatigue. Going down many rabbit holes he was diagnosed with chronic fatigue and with that naturally came depression. Yet he had businesses to run and a family to feed. And it was predominantly through meditation that he managed to regain a zest for life. And it was this catalyst that cultivated a passion to share it with others. 

Rich is also currently completing a Bachelor of Psychological science. As he is also passionate about having an in-depth understanding of the science of wellbeing.  Perhaps the greatest gift meditation gives us in the business world is the ability to: “RESPOND RATHER THAN REACT” And Rich shares proven strategies to empower our nervous system to be more robust, resilient and responsive.

"Any scepticism going in on behalf of our team was quickly alleviated by your approach, information and energy"

“I can say on behalf of CDA Health that we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and any scepticism going in on behalf of our team was quickly alleviated by your approach, information and energy. I had only positive feedback from everyone who participated; they were grateful for the opportunity not just to learn the technique but to gain a deeper understanding of the value of mediation in their day-to-day lives and then to also be able to take some time out to enjoy the experience.”

"It’s clear everyone would benefit from this practice but certainly those in leadership roles (employees or entrepreneurs) who have responsibility for the lives or livelihoods of others"

“My wife and I are business owners and parents and we come up against the usual stresses and deadlines that these roles create. Stress and pressure are ever present in our lives but towards the end of 2021 they seemed to become less manageable. We needed to do something to release the pressure valve and are always looking for ways to improve our lives and general outlook. We were interested in meditation but didn’t think we could fit the practice into our daily lives. Sarah did a lot of research and came across the Vedic style of meditation after being mentioned in a podcast. It sounded great so we researched local providers. Rich stood out immediately.

We loved that Rich had lived an interesting and adventurous life and he had come to Vedic mediation after trying numerous other techniques of self improvement, enlightenment if you will. To us, this saved us the need to try other things too.

We felt comfortable with Rich from the first call, his warmth and genuinely engaged style made him so easy to talk to and he took the time to go through the process and answer all our questions.

Rich was incredibly accommodating with our course, booking times and locations that suited us. The course was beautiful, a truly wonderful experience. Rich is such an insightful teacher and provided all the information we needed – the history, the science, the strategy all delivered in accessible and digestible format with real life examples of his own and other pupils to make us feel comfortable and not out of our depth. It was an amazing 4 sessions and we felt so grateful to have had that experience.

Rich has been available since completing the course to navigate any bumps in the road and provide any clarifications needed. As for the practice, it’s amazing how easily you can find the time if you want to. And we have both wanted to! Even in these early days we feel calmer, more clear minded and a general sense of increased well-being.

After completing this course, it’s clear everyone would benefit from this practice but certainly those in leadership roles (employees or entrepreneurs) who have responsibility for the lives or livelihoods of others.”
