Hey Gabblers!
Ever wondered how Sandra Oh relieves stress and keeps balance in her life? Check out this interview she did with Mindful Magazine!
What inspired you to start practicing meditation?
I think, like many people, I had been thinking “I should meditate” for years. But, no surprise, shaming myself into it wasn’t doing the trick. I was looking to make a change in my life and my dear friend who had just had a baby said meditation had really helped her during her pregnancy and delivery. Hearing that really moved me.
How do you find it benefits you?
It has helped me through some very difficult times in my life and increased the joy of living. It helps me deal with stress—and there’s plenty of that to go around. It helps me to focus, and it helps me to have creative breakthroughs. Doing meditation practice has also challenged me to become a better person, to broaden my mind and remain curious.
It’s a slow process, though, a gradual, organic process. It’s not like you sit for 20 minutes and suddenly your life is peaceful. But you can find ways to deal with life better as you learn how to sit and just be there on the cushion with your mind and your surroundings.
