Step Inside Alanis Morissette’s Home Meditation Room: ‘It’s Where I Go to Tune In to Emotions’

In the September issue of Women’s Health, Morissette gave readers a tour of her special ’90s-angst-free room, which she calls her “talk pit.”

“It’s kind of where I go to tune in to emotions, get divine messages through prayer. I do my gratitude lists in there,” she said. “I carve out different goals, I journal, I read, I listen to meditation — I do all my practices in there.”

The singer, who meditates almost every morning, admitted she’s trying to address her self-diagnosed work addiction.

...

“If I’m going through a particularly troubled time, I’ll use grapefruit. If I’m mired in depression, lavender is kind of the panacea for everything,” she said. “I’ve been obsessed with lime lately, and I’ll put lime in hot, hot water and on a face cloth and put it on my face and just sit there and breathe. I’ll make a lot of blends that I’ll just pop in my purse.”

I wish I had space and time for meditation and Bible study and work on my music. I’m guessing Ms. Morissette doesn’t have nine children at home.

Whatever, I hope it works out for her.

Anti-religious, eh? (Well, anti-Christian certainly.)

Rich too. But liberal. Gee ....

Too bad all that meditation and stuff doesn’t improve her singing.

At a previous place of employment, people thought it was funny that I would drop whatever I was doing to turn off the radio if one of her songs came on.

...“It’s kind of where I go to tune in to emotions, get divine messages through prayer...

That’s what I do in my usual morning sitdown.

My morning sitdown is displaced by washing the dishes left by the Overnight People, those teenagers who are up and producing dirty dishes after I’ve gone to bed.

Looks like a brain-scrambling clutter, rather than soothing and peaceful.
