But I\u2019ve been a meditator for 30 years. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sometimes I\u2019ll wait, do it at lunchtime, but I\u2019ve kind of learned my lesson. No matter what the call time is for filming, I still just get up a little bit earlier and get everything done &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>                      \t\t\t<!-- Dailymotion player (contact: Kutay.vardar@dailymotion.com) --><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s better. I mean, there\u2019s not much difference between waking up at four am and waking up at six. It\u2019s kind of the same, ultimately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nHugh went on to reveal how he took up meditation, telling the publication: &#8220;I learned meditation originally through the School of Practical Philosophy, which I was introduced to by a friend when I was doing acting. You know when you\u2019re around people and you feel they\u2019ve got something about them, you can\u2019t put your finger on it? &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;His name was Warwick. I said: &#8216;Warwick, there\u2019s something about you. I don\u2019t know what it is, but I kind of feel like I want it, whatever that is.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And he goes: &#8216;Oh, I started meditating.&#8217; I\u2019m like: &#8216;What? What is that?&#8217; And he goes: &#8216;It\u2019s transcendental meditation&#8217; and it changed everything. And it did.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I was 22, 23, and it really changed everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nHe added of his routine: &#8220;It gives me a place to, what I call, kind of coming home to myself twice a day, no matter what\u2019s going on. So the surface of the water, which is our life &#8211; right now, for you and I, it\u2019s pretty calm on the surface &#8211; but whatever\u2019s happening on the surface, if you sink down to the bottom of the ocean, it\u2019s always calm and peaceful. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And that is what meditation represents to me. So it\u2019s like a twice-a-day reminder of what is there under the surface.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/hugh-jackman-credits-meditation-changing-life-1451896.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9 October 2026 Hugh Jackman believes meditation changed his life.
