Jennifer Aniston reveals which 'healing modalities' she has in her $21M mansion to 'calm her nerves'
has filled her home with 'healing modalities in order to create a calm environment,' the star has said.
Those 'healing modalities' are crystals which she insisted banishes negative 'nerves' from her $21M mansion.
The Friends actress, 56, opened the doors of her Los Angeles home to Vanity Fair, declaring it a sanctuary from the pressures of both Hollywood and the wider world.
She said when told during the chat it exudes calmness: 'Good! That's the whole point.' Motioning towards the outside world, she added: 'Out there, it causes nerves. In here, there should be no nerves.'
The actress' splashy abode was opened to Vanity Fair's Julie Miller, who took a detailed look inside the residence for the magazine's September cover story.
Jennifer added: 'I've basically incorporated all of the healing modalities in order to create a calm environment in the chaos of the wonderful industry and the world at large.'
The home features crystals including raw amethyst and a white stone for clarity, an incense holder decorated with crows, and a curated selection of design books.
Designed by the architects A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons, the house maintains a serene atmosphere through pale cream couches, white peonies and taper candles.
Large panoramic windows take up an entire wall, offering sweeping views from Downtown L.A. to the Pacific Ocean, reinforcing the home's spa-like calm.
The space notably lacks screens or ambient noise, enhancing its anxiety-suppressing effect.
Jennifer also shared her passion for interior design, a hobby she shares with her longtime Friends co-star Courteney Cox, 59.
She said: 'We usually talk interior design.
Jennifer opened the doors to Architectural Digest in February 2018. She told the magazine that she'd 'want to be a designer' if she wasn't an actress because she loves 'the process'
'It kind of bores people to tears when we get into a room together. But it's what we love. It's our love language.'
The actress described how she curates her life around architecture, animals, hair, and spiritual affirmations to find inspiration without being overwhelmed by online noise.
She added: 'I try to stay away from the noise as much as possible.
'Thankfully, my algorithm is animals, architecture, hair and spiritual affirmations. So it's not that doomy.'
Through the combination of intentional décor choices, panoramic views, and a carefully managed digital environment, Jennifer has fashioned a personal oasis where visitors can also experience a sense of calm, the Vanity Fair feature showed.
Also in her interview Aniston said she is not a nepo baby.
She was born to parents John Aniston and Nancy Dow, who were both actors, but she insists she has not benefitted from nepotism.
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, the star denied riding her parents coattails to build her career.
John, who died in 2022, was best known for his role as Victor Kiriakis on Days of Our Lives. And Nancy, who died in 2016, found success in the 60s on shows like The Beverly Hillbillies and The Wild Wild West.
'Listen, I am so grateful. I came from nothing. We were broke. There's no nepo baby here,' she declared. Jennifer was raised in New York City, where she developed her acting chops at the LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.
Part of her ambition stemmed from 'always wanting to get Pop's approval,' she said of her late father.
'It was the thing that drove me and was also my biggest heartbreak: trying to impress and prove your value to a man who's only capable of so much,' she explained.
The Hollywood fixture said she thought that if she could achieve noteworthy success 'then he will love me as much as I love him.'
