is meditation legit?

[koalendo]

According to google:

"The mental health benefits of meditation include better focus and concentration, improved self-awareness and self-esteem, lower levels of stress and anxiety, and fostering kindness. Meditation also has benefits for your physical health, as it can improve your tolerance for pain and help fight substance addiction."

sounds very exaggerated

yes it's legit but you need to do it while sungazing or staring at the full moon, don't do it inside

Yes, meditation increases pain tolerance, lowers cortisol, increases oxytocin and serotonin.

Self esteem and kindness. On that list. I dunno

All the rest on that list.
I know is proven effects.

I in my Buddhist period. Have dinner silent retreats for 1 week.
No talking for 5 days. And like 5-6 hours of meditation per day on a cushion.
Pretty brutals.
