The real benefit of meditation from my perspective is proving to yourself that you're not the voices in your head. I mean, you can't be; since you're obviously capable of observing them from the outside while they go on with their business. What takes practice is staying aware and not feeding them energy by identifying.

Once the spell is broken, the conserved energy and improved focus and control changes everything.

The mind is indeed a wonderful servant but a terrible master.
