Funnyman Russell Brand says meditation helped him deal with his divorce from pop singer Katy Perry last year.
The 37-year old is known to be practising meditation along with Kundalini yoga to stay fit and maintain peace of mind, reported Daily Mirror.
The actor also believes yoga has helped in overcoming his alcohol and drugs addiction.
"I really committed to that drug addiction Serendipitously, today is exactly eight years to the day I gave up drugs and alcohol," said Brand.
The actor has had numerous run-ins with police due to his addiction and has previously been arrested 12 times by the cops in different cases.
Perry and Brand parted ways after 14 months of marriage citing irreconcilable differences.
