OHMYGOSSIP — Catherine Tyldesley does vaginal meditation.
The ‘Coronation Street’ star was introduced to the unusual type of meditation by a friend and whilst she’s not sure what mental improvements it can bring, she quipped it was “good for your pelvic floor if nothing else”.
She said: “My friend was telling me about this new group she attended and it was a special kind of meditation and it’s a group of women, you all put your heads together in a circle so your legs facing outwards. You raise your legs up, little bit like if you were going to see a gynaecologist and you insert these into your lady area. It’s vaginal meditation apparently … You’re being at one with your cervix … It’s good for your pelvic floor if nothing else.”
And the 34-year-old actress – who has three-year-old son Alfie with her husband Tom – is a “big fan” of meditation and tries to set aside some time in each day for it, even if it’s just five minutes.
Speaking as a guest panellist on ITV’s Loose Women on Thursday (22.03.18), she said: “I’m a big fan of meditation even if it’s just 10 minutes on my lunch break. I think it’s really easy to say I don’t have time for that but even just five minutes. Just switch your phone off for five minutes, I find that really helpful. I did hypnobirthing when I was pregnant with Alfie, which centres around meditation and that opened up a whole new world for me. I’m a different person.”
Meanwhile, Catherine previously revealed she “made a promise” to herself to meditate every day for a year.
She shared: “Now I’m older and wiser – I work from the inside out, starting with nutrition. But sleep and relaxation is something I’m not very good at. I made a promise to myself this year to meditate each day, even if only for 5-10 mins. I started this book last week and what a gift it has been. (sic).”
