About this routine

Lady Gaga's morning routine relies on Transcendental Meditation as a cornerstone for psychological recovery and creative clarity. After experiencing severe trauma and chronic fibromyalgia pain, she turned to the practice to help regulate her nervous system. By sitting quietly for twenty minutes twice a day, she gives her brain a deep rest that supports emotional stability during intense creative cycles.

The practice is simple and requires no physical exertion. You sit comfortably with eyes closed, quietly repeating a personalized sound or mantra without attempting to control your thoughts. When distractions arise, you gently return your attention to the mantra. This practice allows the mind to settle into quiet awareness while relieving stress stored in the physical body.

A crucial part of the process is the two minute rest period at the end. Jumping back into action too quickly can feel jarring. Allowing your mind and body a brief pause to integrate the stillness makes the transition into work or daily tasks smooth and grounded.
