How does meditating help?

Answer 1

These thoughts are the result of either subconscious, conscious or superconscious desires that together form a general working psychological make-up of ever person on earth.

Every thought or desire can be studied in the laboratory of the mind by using the tools of Introspection, Discrimination and intellectual scrutiny.
