Ommm: why meditation is having a rockstar moment.

Lately it feels like meditation is being mentioned everywhere. Celebrities like Chris Hemsworth and Diddy have recently released guided meditations you can download… there are meditation apps for kids…. and even cats! And it’s popping up on movies and TV shows like Billions, where the main character, who’s a hedge fund trader, meditates before negotiating big deals.

Sporting stars have recently spoken publicly about how much mediation has helped them, too… AFL Brownlow winner Dusty Martin attributed mindfulness and meditation to being key to his football comeback.

We’re joined by the Garry Gorrow, meditation coach for celebrities and footballers….as we look into why meditation is having a moment right now.
