I've meditated quite a bit. Been through some stressful events in the past few years (charged with drug trafficking,
lost access to my child). I find three things have help, in order of descending importance /: meditation, jogging, weight training.
But without meditation life is noticeable worse.
So while we're using the computer metaphor, maybe meditation is like Garbage Collection:
* Enables you to develop your application without having to free memory.
* Allocates objects on the managed heap efficiently.
* Reclaims objects that are no longer being used, clears their memory, and keeps the memory available for future allocations. Managed objects automatically get clean content to start with, so their constructors do not have to initialize every data field.
* Provides memory safety by making sure that an object cannot use the content of another object.
