Meditation & The Actor

Auditions and performing on a weekly basis in classes or on set is a stressor that we need to learn to manage. Learning mental strategies to deal with how we respond to the events in our life is key in terms of re-calibrating our mental attitude. I have been meditating for over a year now and I am still amazed on its benefits for my acting and quality to life.

It is a very valuable tool for actors but also for your personal life. It helps settle yourself mentally & emotionally and to learn to work from within. Practice it daily. Only 10 minutes a day will do wonders for your focus and concentration. Best time is in the morning when you wake up. Before you check your email or text messages. It takes about 3 weeks to create a new habit. Soon, you’ll be meditating every day and ready to face whatever the world throws your way that day.
