Bill Clinton’s hired a Buddhist monk!
The buzz is he has appointed one to help him relax...
Presidents, even ex ones have their own way to de-stress. And after all, when you're a prominent citizen, you also have a different mode of adapting into some leisure time!
Forget those philosophy books and outdoor exercise mantras, for a news report mentions how Bill Clinton, former US president, is learning the art of Buddhist meditation to help him relax, as he takes his exercise regime to spiritual heights.
He recently took up a healthier lifestyle including becoming vegan after a string of heart problems over the past few years. And in his latest attempt to improve his well-being, the Democrat has hired his own personal Buddhist monk to help him learn how to meditate properly, said a newspaper. "Ever since his heart scare, Bill has looked for ways to help him relax," a source told a site. "He has a hectic life, he travels a lot on business as an ambassador for the US and needs something to keep him sane. "Meditation offers him that, he has a mantra that he likes to chant and after every session he feels transformed and full of positive energy. It's definitely doing him the world of good - he feels fitter and stronger than ever," the source added.
Heart
woes!
It was way back in February 2004 that Clinton was rushed to Columbia
Presbyterian Hospital in New York City after complaining of chest pains. He
needed to have two coronary stents implanted in his heart and a few months
later in September underwent quadruple bypass surgery. In 2010, he had a
clogged artery reopened - his second heart operation in just five years.
According to ANI he had announced that he was giving up his diet of American
fast food such as burgers, fries and deep-fried chicken to go vegan.
