Halle Berry - Meditation Helps Get Close To Dead Dad....

Halle Berry meditates to get closer to the abusive father she hardly knew.The Oscar winner and her dad Jerome Jesse Berry were still estranged after many years when he died, but Berry insists she has no regrets about not embracing her father and forgiving him for all the heartache he put her sister and mother through when she was a child.However, Berry insists on having a relationship with her dad now he's dead.She explains, "I realise that you can have relationships with people even when they're gone and my relationship with my father has gotten much better now that he's not here."I've been doing a series of meditations since the day he died, where I go to this gazebo - I imagine it in my mind - and there he is sitting there, and he says to me all the things that he should have said to me in his life."It's been slowly healing my wounds".Meanwhile the actress' unborn baby has been made an official alumni of New York's Pace University - 18 years before he or she can attend the home of America's Actor's Studio.The pregnant Oscar winner was handed the honour for her baby from university dean James Lipton when she taped TV show Inside The Actors Studio there recently.

Lipton revealed Berry was his first pregnant guest on the show, and urged the actress to consider calling her child James or Jamie.

He then said, "As dean emeritus of the Actor's Studio Drama School Of Pace University, I would like to say that since this little person has already attended this craft seminar and has behaved like a perfect gentleman or lady, he or she is officially and forever an alumnus or an alumna of Pace University".
