Meghan Markle reveals the secret to her happiness.
Before becoming the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle founded and ran the popular lifestyle blog The Tig.
The day after her 41st birthday, a post from the blog resurfaced, according to the Independent. The post was written in 2015, the year before she met her future husband, Prince Harry, but it was written by Meghan, who is a practitioner of Vedic meditation, which makes her "happy anyway," and a man named Wright ("Yes, his name is Wright," she writes, "and he is a very good friend of mine"). Watkins turned out to be a Vedic meditation coach, and although skeptical at first about how beneficial daily meditation actually was ("It was endlessly hard at first (thinking, distractions, boredom),") Megan gave it a try. She writes that she soon had a "stillness that rocked my world. "A year later, she writes, "I'm happier, and meditation has a lot to do with that. And meditation has a lot to do with that."
A post from The Tig offered advice from Watkins on how to try Vedic meditation. Vedic meditation is non-religious in nature and centers on silent mantras intended to "help you find inner stillness."
Watkins said that during meditation one should "allow the act of meditating to become synonymous with both being aware of the breath and being absorbed in thought." It is best not to resist any thoughts, songs, conversations, images, feelings, sensations, etc., "so that you forget that you are meditating and become aware of what you are doing. [Everything from meeting the love of my life, getting engaged to him, getting married and entering the royal life, becoming a mother, stepping down from the royal life, surviving a pandemic and building a new life in my old home, Los Angeles.
Princess Meghan encouraged everyone to try it at least once, writing, "The worst thing I've ever done is give myself ten minutes of silence in an endlessly noisy world."
Most plausibly.
