They meditate

-

From CEOS to celebritie­s such as Lena Dunham and Emma Watson, more and more people are turning to meditation. “It’s the ultimate tool for wellbeing,” says meditation practition­er Jody Shield. “You can do it any time – for free – and it can help to transform tired and low feelings.”

Now steal it

“We’re all busy – so 10 minutes is enough,” says Jody, who gave up a highpowere­d job in advertisin­g to study meditation and retrain as an alternativ­e therapist. “At lunchtime I shut my laptop, close my eyes, take deep breaths and imagine I’m looking directly at the space between my eyes. It might feel weird at first, but it helps reset the brain to make you feel less stressed.”
