It's hard to find people who do. There isn't a meditation community here so I made one ( !meditation@leminal.space )

Meditation is pretty great.

I suffer from chronic migraines. Mindfulness meditation is a good way of delaying the onset a bit, a 20minute meditation can sometimes save me taking a sick day or get me through a bus ride home. Sometimes if I can't sleep I meditate and I find that either helps me sleep, or makes me feel better without sleep. I don't really know if I would want to be in a community about it though.
