Are there any benefits to meditation and how do I do it?

There seems to be many types of meditation, am I allowed to think during meditation or is it just not focusing on anything

The goal is to completely empty your mind. If you get good at it, wild shit happens. Its hard to empty your mind when you are driving or during tasks, so most people do it in a controlled environment

You are not thinking at all. That's the whole reason they constantly remind you to "focus on your breath". There are many benefits to meditation. Our brain builds neural pathways based on our persistent thoughts and behaviors so by meditating every day you can strengthen your ability to focus and relax, reducing stress and promoting better cardio-vascular health.

Focus on your breathing and when your mind starts to wander return it to your breathing.

People have claimed NDE-like experiences after meditating. It also boosts telomere length if you're good at it.

Fuck, yes. The shilling isn't empty, this shit isn't miracles but it's super helpful.
I've been meditating with minor results for a while, but after getting 2 guided session on youtube, it's a whole 'nother thing.
Go to Waking Up, it's a paid app by Sam Harris but they'll give you a free 1 year account, no questions asked. Bothe sessions I mentioned were upped to YT from the app's catalogue.
This is solid stuff

meh, suit yourself
But really, don't sleep on meditation. In the beginning it'll be hard and useless, but after a while you're no longer at the mercy of constant thoughts

get the headspace app and run through all the beginner sessions(free). You can delete the app afterwards because that's all you need to learn to do it properly.
