What Can You Learn From Meditation

One of the many great things about meditation is that there’s no one-size-fits-all formula. There are many different meditation techniques, many different benefits, and many different reasons why people meditate.

Here are 12 celebrities who meditate, and 12 things we can learn about meditation from them.

1. Angelina Jolie

You can meditate anywhere and find it everywhere. “I find meditation in sitting on the floor with the kids coloring for an hour, or going on the trampoline,” said Jolie.

2. David Lynch

Meditation can help you can do amazingly creative things. (Have you ever seen Mulholland Drive?) How is David Lynch so creative? Lynch attributes his creativity to meditation, as he’s been practicing Transcendental Meditation for over 35 years.

3. Hugh Jackman

Meditation can help you deal with anxiety. Hugh said that meditation “changed his life” and helped him deal with being obsessive compulsive.

4. Adrien Brody

Meditation can help you prepare for a starring film role — or just prepare, in general. In preparing for his upcoming role in Predator 2, Brody said he stayed in a hut in the jungle and “studied meditation techniques.”

5. Eva Mendes

Meditation can help you deal with everyday stress. Mendes said it helps her “deal with life’s ups and downs, coming from more of a centered place.”

6. Howard Stern

Meditation may help you quit smoking. Stern said he quit smoking almost instantaneously after he began his Transcendental Meditation practice 36 years ago.

7. Gisele Bundchen

Can meditation give you a supermodel-like figure after giving birth? Well, Gisele was a supermodel before giving birth — but was able to lose her baby weight miraculously fast because of “eating healthily, meditating and doing exercises such as kung fu and yoga.“
(Paraphrased from Vogue Magazine)

8. Adam Yauch

This Beastie Boy says daily meditation helps him in his struggle with cancer. Adam “pictures smashing apart all of the cancer cells in the world.” Namaste to that.

9. Russell Brand

Meditation can help you find your soul-mate. Russell Brand told fellow meditator, Howard Stern, that meditation helped him when he first met pop star, and now fiance, Katy Perry.

10. Russell Simmons

Meditation can do all that, and then some… The hip-hop mogul on the benefits of meditation: “It has given me energy, strength, health, wisdom, and access to my own inner stillness, inner silence, inner bliss. It is my connection to myself; it is my connection to the universe.”

11. Tiger Woods

Things can go bad once you stop meditating. Yes, Tiger has said that he’d gotten away from his meditation practice and we all know what happened there.

12. Gwyneth Paltrow
