Being in a calm state of mind allows you to think better and reduces the physical effects of stress. BUT, "mediation" in the strict sense isn't necessarily necessary for this. Some studies (see "The Giggling Guru" in James *****'s book Flim-Flam!) have shown the effects of meditation were the same as those you get when listening to calming music! So it's simply being calm and relaxed, not as much as the meditation process itself, that is good. I find bedtime reading+music relaxing: let it all go, enjoy the book and music, etc. Something like that will work just as well.

It is very important for a person to overcome today's stressful life style by undertaking some meditation therapy. In America, meditation has been registered by some swamys as their Trade Mark or Transcendent mark. So when it has so many benefits one should not ask this kind of question.

Meditation is necessary in today's fast paced life, to ease tensions and reduce stress and related problems! Meditation improves general health, by helping you to relax generally, to regulate your breathing specifically, and to give you the rested feeling, and by calming you down through relaxation!

All of the above but also gets you what you want out of life, if you visualize the ending you want to ANYTHING while in meditation, it excellorates getting it because you're in the Alpha state which means you're in total control of making things happen. Visualization and thought puts you in control of your life and getting all you desire.

When we meditate, we concentrate on some object of thought or awareness. It usually involves turning the attention inward to the mind itself. Meditation can be used for personal development, or to focus the mind on God (or an aspect of God).
The purposes for which people meditate vary almost as widely as practices. Meditation may serve simply as a means of relaxation from a busy daily routine; as a technique for cultivating mental discipline; or as a means of gaining insight into the nature of reality, or of communing with one's God. Many report improved concentration, awareness, self-discipline and equanimity through meditation.
Many authorities avoid emphasizing the effects of meditation — sometimes out of modesty, sometimes for fear that the expectation of results might interfere with one's meditation. For theists, the effects of meditation are considered a gift of God or from the Holy Spirit/Ghost, and not something that is "achieved" by the meditator alone, just as some say that a person will not convert to Christianity without the influence of the Holy Spirit/Ghost's presence.
Commonly reported results from meditation include:
* Greater faith in, or understanding of, one's religion or beliefs
* An increase in patience, compassion, and other virtues and morals or the understanding of them
* Feelings of calm or peace, and/or moments of great joy
* Consciousness of sin, temptation, and remorse, and a spirit of contrition.
* Sensitivity to certain forms of lighting, such as fluorescent lights or computer screens, and sometimes heightened sense-perception.
* Surfacing of buried memories.
* Experience of spiritual phenomena such as kundalini, extra-sensory perception, or visions of deities, saints, demons, etc.
Some traditions acknowledge that many types of experiences and effects are possible, but instruct the meditator to keep in mind the spiritual purpose of the meditation, and not be distracted by lesser concerns. For example, Mahayana Buddhists are urged to meditate for the sake of "full and perfect enlightenment for all sentient beings" (the bodhisattva vow). Some, as in certain sects of Christianity, say that these things are possible, but are only to be supported if they are to the glory of God.

Actually meditation can do quite abit. But its not the quickest discipline to master. What do you wanna do anyways? Maybe ill teach you how to imagine and convince yourself it has already happened. If you wanna a quick fix try hypnosis. Please get a trained and certified practioner only!
