"Russell Brand has claimed that he is &amp;quot;happier than ever&amp;quot;, despite going through a divorce from Katy Perry.  The Rock of Ages star said that he has been practicing things that are &amp;quot;good for the old spirit&amp;quot; since ending his 14-month marriage to the &amp;#039;Wide Awake&amp;#039; singer in December.   &amp;quot;I try not to compartmentalise things too much into years, but generally speaking I&amp;#039;m happier than I&amp;#039;ve ever been in my life,&amp;quot; The Sun quotes him as saying.  &amp;quot;Of course I went through a divorce which isn&amp;#039;t good for anybody, but that was that bit of time - that was really lovely - this is this bit of time - this is really lovely.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m dedicating myself to all sorts of interesting things you know. Transcendental meditation, kundalini yoga, these things are right good for the old spirit.&amp;quot;  Brand went on to describe the process of meditation as &amp;quot;like a shower for your brain&amp;quot;, adding: &amp;quot;God knows I needed one, the muck that goes on in there.&amp;quot; The comedian previously jested that the worst part about his divorce from Perry is that there&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;a lot of admin&amp;quot;. He has since been romantically linked to an online presenter, while Perry is currently dating Florence + The Machine guitarist Rob Ackroyd.
