Jesse’s Story
Jesse Connally is an Indian-Australian Vedic Meditation Teacher who is based in Melbourne, Australia
About Jesse
My journey into this practice began during a time when life felt stressful and overwhelming. Meditation became my anchor. Something simple, natural, and immediately supportive. Over time, it shifted the way I felt, thought, and moved through the world.
The practice opened something simple in me. It was sense of ease that wasn’t forced, and a way of living that felt more authentic than the rush I was used to. It didn’t turn me into a different person, it helped me become more myself.
Wanting to deepen my appreciation for simplicity, rest, and the intelligence of stillness, over the last five+ years that curiosity has taken me back and forth to India. The culture, teachers, and traditions shaping me in their own gentle way.
Studying, listening, refining my understanding, I’ve had the great fortune to learn with teachers both locally and abroad. In 2024, I lived in south India for 3-months to train as a Vedic meditation teacher with Mahasoma. After many years of being a student and a part of a beautiful meditation community in Melbourne.
Teaching came naturally after that. Not because I see myself as an expert, but because I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, and I’ve seen how powerful these ancient practices can be when they’re shared.
Sharing Vedic Meditation, knowledge & wisdom, I now teach this technique to help people reconnect with the quiet, steady place that already lives inside them.
Outside of meditation, I’m someone who loves travel, bonsai, cooking, and wandering through different cultures. I value honest conversations, humour, and the small moments that make life meaningful.
If any part of my journey feels familiar or comforting, I’m really glad you’re here.
“As Jesse explained, we are conditioned from an early age that to be more in life, we need to do more...however the practice of Vedic Meditation asks us to invert that, enabling us to achieve more by doing less. As someone with adult ADHD who runs two small businesses stress management has always been a challenge for me. But through this course, I’ve gained a simple yet powerful tool to find calm and clarity in my daily life. If you’re curious about meditation, I highly recommend reaching out to Jesse. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to deepen your practice, it’s an experience that can truly be life-changing.”
