Jeff Bridges loves meditation
August 29th, 2011 - 6:18 am ICT by IANSLondon, Aug 29 (IANS) Actor Jeff Bridges who meditates almost every day recommends that every one should try it as meditation brings the right “dynamics” into one’s life.
“I meditated yesterday morning. I skipped today because I got up late, but it’s very effective for me,” contactmusic.com quoted the 61-year-old as saying.
“It’s good to block out external stimulus for a set amount of time, because, for one thing, it enhances the experience when you are stimulated by something. It brings dynamics to your life,” he added.
Jeff first became interested in meditation when he worked with psychoanalyst John Lilly.
“He(John Lilly) developed the isolation tank and I was one of his subjects when he was experimenting it. The idea was to explore what consciousness is when you take away all of the senses and you’re floating. You discover you that you’re projecting a lot of energy from within you, but normally you can’t distinguish it,” he added.
