  2. Reduce your emotional suffering and increase your pleasure and sense of well-being.
  3. Help you make important decisions (and balance overly emotional or overly logical decisions).
  4. Help focus your attention (i.e., be in control of your mind rather than letting your mind be in control of you), making you more effective and productive.                        
  5. Increase compassion for self and others.    
  6. Lessen your pain, tension, and stress, and in turn, can even improve your health.
