Lakshmi Manchu On Meditation: “It Teaches You That Everything You Need Is Within You”

Telugu actress Lakshmi Manchu says meditation has helped her understand herself, and accept her anger and disappointments.

Asked what drove her towards meditation, Lakshmi told IANS: “It happened by fluke, though even before meditation, I was really into self-discovery, in terms of ‘why am I here? Who am I? Why was I born? What is this life?’ I had a lot of questions in my early years, being in elementary, and then, I think I was in my ninth grade when I took my first course of quantum physics or self-discovery. When I was 18, I did my first real meditation course. I got hooked to it because what it teaches you that everything you need is within you.”

“I love believing that life is not stuck in this body, and that we have so much of our soul journey, which is continuous. So, doing meditation aligns you with your purpose, even in this life,” she added.
