Want to learn how to meditate?

Since you are focussed on 'wisdom' and practical use of meditation, I will share one basic use and result from my personal practise of mindfulness and calm, is that I get less emotionally triggered in my daily life and I am more patient and able to let things slide on their own.  I am more able to view things from outside myself and outside the situation to get to a more logical and maybe streamlined pathway or result, without being attached to 'my' way , ownership, or ego, being in the way.

​​​​​​I am not focused on wisdom solely or practicality for that matter. It's good that you state the benefits you have gained. I have no reason to doubt you. I also can accept a personal spiritual anecdote but I think that word 'spiritual' might require a little definition. You mentioned wisdom and I followed up on that nothing more.

The truth is you throw out generic spiritual terms as if it's a given. I can see the practical benefit meditation brings but if you add stuff like other realms and wisdom I might have a question or two. It's not difficult to answer, there is no trap or gotcha, it's just a conversation, I have no idea why people get defensive. I think we can all learn something about ourselves by the way we react, I'm no different. In truth I wonder why I bother and if it's a failing on my own part.
