Actress Kate Hudson is grateful for meditation as the practice allows her to find balance when “life feels out of control”. The 36-year-old ‘Rock the Kasbah’ star is currently promoting her new lifestyle book ‘Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways to Love Your Body’, reported Contactmusic.

“Meditation has saved my sanity. Not that I was crazy, but in this world of hyperspeed, overstimulation, no escape from technology, and constant emotional stress, it’s very hard to stay centred and grounded. “And yet, since I’ve integrated meditation into my daily life – which doesn’t mean I do it every day – I feel so much more at ease, knowing that I can re-centre myself when life feels out of control. “There’s no better feeling than realising I have the power to get through the muck and the hard stuff to get to all that’s good! This doesn’t mean some of my old patterns or bad coping mechanisms won’t crop up again – they will – but now I know I’m ready for them.
