From How to Meditate Successfully,
Durga Ma, Copyright ©1994:

Meditation can be used for practical purposes, such as focusing your attention or calming yourself in an instant. When you are becoming agitated in a difficult situation, a few moments of meditation can put you at ease and help you regain control.

Meditation can also take you to amazingly deep levels of relaxation. It can quiet your mind, improve your concentration and help you achieve your goals. You can even learn to control pain, blood pressure, heartbeat, or the flow of blood from a wound. Through the process of meditation, the natural healing power of the body can be freed to do its job. If your orientation is religious or spiritual, meditation can help you reach undreamed of depths of inner experience and union with the Divine (whatever your word is for that).You won’t find a more far reaching, more efficient, more pleasant means for a general overhaul in your life. All you have to do is do it.
