I like to consider Meditation outside of any religion personally.
Meditation helps to calm the nervous system. Counting to 10 (1 count per inhale + exhale), or simply focusing on each inhale & exhale, or repeating a word or multi-word mantra, is what I do personally.
It's especially nice in a Sauna with some mystical atmospheric music (such as Anugama, one of my favorites for meditation).
I have found that it improves my ability to concentrate (especially useful when studying or working) and to calm myself in stressful situations.
