Jeff Kober attributes daily Vedic meditation to his lasting health at 72

Jeff Kober, known for roles on General Hospital and The Pitt, discussed his wellness regimen in a People interview, revealing that he began practicing Vedic meditation in 2002. The method involves sitting comfortably, closing the eyes and silently repeating a specific sound for 20 minutes, twice daily. He described the practice as a way to quiet the mind and experience a self that exists apart from thoughts, feelings, or actions.

Kober, who has previously disclosed battles with alcoholism, drug use and a traumatic accident at age 15, said meditation has provided lasting stability and lessened anxiety, even prompting moments of unexpected happiness. The actor also highlighted that his recent Emmy nominations for both a Primetime and a Daytime series underscore his continued professional success, which he attributes in part to his meditation habit.
