Oprah Winfrey
When it comes to celebs who talk about their beliefs openly, we should definitely mention Oprah Winfrey. A famous American talk show host, television producer, and actress states that to live a successful life with a superb career, one should nurture oneself. In order to take care of others and give, you have to take care of yourself first. Oprah says that self-care is like a cornerstone to becoming a conscious person who can radiate empathy, compassion, and kindness. The woman says that all these traits are essentials that actually brought her to where she is now. To add more, the American talk show host says that expressing gratitude is a must. It’s thanks to a simple gratitude journal that, she says, one can finally live a life that is more meaningful and blissful. In other words, if you feel like writing down all the things you’re grateful for – do it. Thus, you’ll find yourself more aware of what you have and appreciate it.
Lady Gaga and Beyoncé
The good old tarot cards are quite popular among the citizens of Hollywood Olympus. For example, Beyoncé is one of the famous people who seek guidance from astrology, while the author of the “Poker Face” song chooses in-person and reading tarot cards online sessions when she needs to self-reflect and make some important decisions.

Emma Watson
Well-known for her role in the movies about Harry Potter Emma Watson has also starred in the film “Noah” about the biblical character. Our beautiful Hermione Granger has spoken more than once about how her spirituality has changed with time. She mentioned the moment when she realized she was a universalist and got curious about the aspects of Buddhism. This genuine interest in Buddhism made her dive into books that she used to learn more about her chosen path. According to the English actress, her interest in meditation comes from her curiosity about the world’s fourth-largest religion. But since reading printed materials was never enough, she switched to practices that she actually loved.
Steve Jobs
The American businessman, investor, and inventor believed that entrepreneurial success is fully based on spirituality. Steve Jobs advocated for using intuition in all situations – from reading and communicating with people around to dealing with business issues. In the 1970s the man traveled to India with a strong desire to find life’s purpose. He was deeply interested in Eastern Spirituality while trying to understand what his place in this world was.

Throughout his life, a famous businessman practiced Zen Buddhist meditation and encouraged his colleagues to join him. According to the words of the CEO of Apple Inc., meditation was an excellent instrument used to boost the function of the mind and reach huge goals in his career. Plus, regular spiritual practices helped Jobs improve his mental development which, in turn, took his leadership skills to the next level. All this in tandem helped him perform better in the field of business.
Alicia Keys
Before Alicia Keys became a mom, she never considered any religion or form of spirituality for herself. However, it was motherhood that made a famous singer try to meditate for the first time. According to the Grammy award-winning singer, musician, and songwriter, she was just like all the other mothers on earth – totally exhausted after giving birth to a baby. Alicia admitted it was more than just a physical discomfort but also psychological and spiritual exhaustion. During the first meditation séance, tired mom simply…slept off. However, the next time Alicia tried to meditate, she finally felt a deep connection with her inner self. The result? The goddess of a blend of R&B and soul music felt how her relationship with everyone and everything around her changed. She was happy to not only find inner peace but also be a better mom for her pumpkin.
