Contrary to popular belief, celebrities do not just do make up, appear pretty and smile for the cameras. They do know a thing or two about different ways to stay balanced. Sure, they can afford the best fashion advice regarding the latest trends and can even lend some red carpet wisdom to fellow actors. As some of the busiest working individuals, they often know what to do and how to relax, according to FinerMinds.com
One of the most effective ways to relax is with the art of meditation. Meditation is a form of mental discipline, a practice where an individual trains the mind to calm down. It is designed to build and promote relaxation. So here are 8 different ways of meditating straight from 12 different celebrities who share the effects of meditation and the benefits they derived from it.

2. David Lynch. Mulholland Drive writer and director, David Lynch finds he can do creative things with the help of meditation.
