quiet mind

Peaceful inner state

A quiet mind is one free from mental chatter, worry, or agitation—the state meditation practitioners often seek.

The phrase implies inner stillness rather than absence of thought: She finally found a quiet mind after years of anxiety.

Someone with a quiet mind can focus without being pulled by racing thoughts or emotional turbulence.
