Miranda Kerr meditates with her children

Miranda - who has son Flynn, 15, with her ex-husband Orlando Bloom and sons Hart, seven, Myles, six, and Pierre, two, with her current spouse Evan Spiegel - told LYMA's Power Women series: "Each of my kids, except the baby, have been taught Vedic meditation and they each have their own mantra.

"It's something I've been practicing since I was 17 and it's key to my connection and devotion.

"As an adult you do it for 20 minutes but for my children, my six year old does it for six minutes, seven year old seven minutes and so on."

The Australian star added: "This New Year, he (Flynn) said: 'Mum, I want to meditate with you every morning at 6am and do it for 20 minutes.

"On the days he does it... he's like, 'I really noticed a difference. I felt much calmer the days I did it.'"

Miranda also explained that she wakes up at 5.30am every morning as she has become an "early bird" since she started dating Snapchat co-founder Spiegel.

She said: "I wake up every morning between 5am and 5.30am, I'm quite an early bird.

"I naturally wake up so it's been years of practice because I was naturally a night owl before I met my husband and we've been together 12 years this year.

"I remember one of the first Friday nights we spent together and he's like, 'Okay, let's go to bed'. I'm like, 'It's like 8.30pm'. And he's like, 'Yeah, let's go to bed.'

"Now I absolutely love it."

Kerr explained that she fits looking after her children into her daily routine as she sends them to bed early before having a round of laser therapy when she retires to the bedroom.

She said: "I get them into bed early and then I have time for myself.

"I put relaxing music on throughout the whole house at like 5pm and dim the lights so I can naturally help my kids wind down.

"I put the baby down at 5.30pm because it's getting dark. The kids and I eat at 4.30pm which is a little bit early.

"And then I get into bed and put on two mats - a cell optimising mat and my web laser device mat.

"I do this routine for 15 minutes with the Lyma laser. I then put on the milky mushroom mask and it really plumps the skin, it's an overnight mask."
