It's no secret that meditation has a lot of proven benefits. I've been meditating for a couple months as a means to improve many aspects of my life, particularly, improving my abilities in social situations and dates. I grew tired of blowing dates with amazing and beautiful women because of the fucking non-stop chatter in my head. I would be good for about the first 10 minutes of a date, then I became self-conscious, started over-analyzing everything, trying to interpret everything she says, try to recall all of these techniques, checking myself for body language, etc. Of course, the more I tried to come off as cool and confident, the more fake I became, and ruined establishing any sort of connection with the woman.

Meditation has already improved this quite significantly. I'm a hell of a lot more calm, and I am much better at being in the moment and actually engaging a woman in real conversation. I still have a long way to go, but I'm starting to finally see the benefits.

I'm wondering if anyone here has seen significant benefits from meditation? What were your problems, how did they improve? Also, what type of meditation do you do, and how long are your daily sessions?
