Monique Rhodes has been practicing mindfulness meditation for 15 years and teaching it to stressed out Westeners for almost as long.

The 10 Minute Mind was a great way to combine her two passions in life: meditation and music. A lifelong professional musician, Monique used her talents to develop all the accompanying music tracks for The 10 Minute Mind. These specifically designed tracks anchor the mind and make meditation even more effective.

She has done the same for some of the best-known spiritual teachers of our time. She created the album ‘Heartbeats’ – which combines spoken word teachings with music – with teachers such as Thich Naht Hahn, Ekhart Tolle and Pema Chödrön and worked on ‘Gems of Wisdom’, a spoken word and music project for His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

In 2010 Monique was nominated for the New Zealander of the Year Award for her charity work in New Zealand.

Monique is passionate about bringing the practice of mindfulness meditation to as many people as possible, to help people cope with the increasing stress and pressures of the modern world.
