Chances are, you already know this man’s voice. Grant Lyndon is one of Australia’s most prolific voice artists as well as an actor, meditation teacher and father of four.

But beneath all that, Grant is a seeker.

After chasing his teenage dream of becoming a “rock star”, it was an acting teacher in his 20s who suggested he learn to meditate - a simple practice which changed everything. Grant went on to train as a Vedic meditation teacher, crediting his twice-daily practice with helping him “grow up”, discover his purpose, and shape an identity beyond the shadow of his father, a well known broadcaster.

In this episode of My Spiritual Side, Grant opens up about the transformative power of meditation, what makes a good dad, and the unexpected plot twist that amplified his gratitude.

In this episode, Grant shares:

• The time he bailed on a Vipassana silent retreat
• How learning Vedic meditation changed his life
• How the passing of his mum became a time of presence, connection and surrender
• His desire to be a present father to his four kids - and inspire other dads to “wake up”
• How his acting and voiceover career became a full-circle moments that felt predestined
• Finding his purpose: to remind people of the light within themselves
• The importance of movement to strengthen our mind and body 
• The shock cancer diagnosis which forced him to reassess his priorities and live with greater consciousness and more peace
• Why we must sit in our pain, physical and emotional, and surrender to it
• His belief that everything shifts when we begin with a single intention: to be more spiritual

Key Quotes

“I felt that when I started meditating, I could be a proper grownup and that the world could take me seriously because I started taking myself seriously”.

“I think my purpose is to remind people of the light within themselves”.
