Sarah Blondin's catalog is small and deliberate. Known first as a storyteller, author, and meditation guide, she has built her following through courses, a podcast, a newsletter, and a book rather than through a long run of studio releases. Her recorded music-shelf presence consists of one documented album: Meditations for Living an Awakened Life, released in 2021, with seven tracks. There is no earlier release in the record and no later album since. So the arc here is a single point rather than a line, and it is a fitting one. The album takes the voice listeners already know from "Live Awake," where each episode closes with a short guided meditation, and gives it a home of its own. It carries her central premise, that the heart can sustain us through turbulent waters, into a form that fits the rhythm of a day. If you are new to her, think of this album as a quiet room built from her teaching: no scaffolding, no course enrollment, only her voice and your attention.
Year: 2021
This is a collection of seven guided meditations in which Sarah Blondin's voice is the central instrument. Expect an unhurried, grounded, conversational delivery rather than a hushed and ethereal one. The title's emphasis on living an awakened life suggests practices meant to bring you back into your days, your body, and your heart, not to lift you out of them. Its moments are the ones where she asks you to stay present with what you feel, a thread that runs through all of her teaching on emotional regulation and joy that persists whatever happens.
In her arc, it is the only album, and it sits beside her book Heart-Minded, the "Live Awake" podcast, and the courses "This Deepest Self" and "Coming Home to Yourself." Where those offer story, structure, and community, this one offers practice alone. The specific track titles are not documented in the facts available here, so begin with the opening track and let her voice set the pace. Return to it daily rather than treating it as a one-time listen.
With a single album in the catalog, the choice is easy. The question is how you approach it, and the mood you bring will shape what you find there.
- Devotional: Play Meditations for Living an Awakened Life in the early morning, before the day's noise arrives. Let her heart-centered focus act as your ritual, a practice of turning back toward the heart that sustains you. This is not deity worship or chanting; it is devotion to your own inner life.
- Contemplative: Take the album in the evening, with the lights low and a journal nearby. Because her teaching treats the stories we carry as the real terrain, these meditations invite you to notice them without judgment.
- Energetic: Use the album as a reset in the middle of a busy day, perhaps on a walk or during a lunch break. It will not push you into motion, but it can steady the nervous system so you move with clarity instead of hurry.
- Healing: Come to it in a hard season. Her premise is that difficulty is not an obstacle to a spiritual life but part of its curriculum, and that tangled knots can loosen when shared with care. Let her voice keep you company, and take the seven tracks at whatever pace your heart allows.
If you want more of her voice after the album, the "Live Awake" podcast is the lightest next step, with reflection and a short guided meditation in each episode. For the written version of her philosophy, turn to Heart-Minded.
