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 did, back when I was a more disciplined and overall kind of better person--not to mention not riddled with chronic disease yet. That is probably a factor.

This is the biggest cognitive dissonance sort of thing that exists in my life. I know from scientific studies and personal experience that meditating just makes life better. But it's also so hard to get started.

And it's easy to lose the routine and gets even harder to start again.
