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.”

Only a few programs can make me howl with laughter . . . Archer is one of them.

You're not officially an 'artist' unless you let the world know how odd and weird and unusual and irregular you are.

If a conservative were to have said such 'nutty' things, he/she would be thought as, out of his/her mind and unfit as a human being, but, she's a liberal, so, she's just 'normal' and a true artist.

I’m hoping to move to the Old Folks’ Home where my mother lives. Maybe she can even leave me her condo!

Seriously, we thought that having nine children at home would encourage them to move out. Everyone shares a room; some share with four others! However, it’s still too comfortable. Those who are old enough (except the oldest, who joined the military at 18) don’t want to leave.

Too easy ... bed rent-free, meals, car, internet, Netflix, washer/dryer ... they bitch, but they don’t leave. I’ve begged my husband for an internet kill switch, but he insists it’s impossible. I think I need to talk to a different engineer.

I read women’s fashion magazines. There was a featured story on her on how to date. She’s rule’s girl! She had made mistakes and she corrected them by acting like a reserved lady. She then revealed she prayed to God to send her a good man to be her husband. And at the end of the piece she wished singled women God’s speed in their search. She is happily married and grateful for her husband.

Does she levitate?

Ironic, I suppose, that her biggest hit single was about being in an angry, jealous rage, feeling abused, humiliated and vengeful. And when she found peace and was centered, the quality of her music evaporated.

Better for her personally, I suppose.

Is she the singer who started the craze, which is still going on, of the thin, reedy, female voice, always sounding pathetically sad.

Also sounding slightly choked, like a bone’s caught in their throat? I think Chan Marshall aka Cat Power introduced that style. I like her but the copycats are infuriating!

Not lately. Now she’s got the gravel-gargling, whiskey and ten thousand cigarettes voice.
