I have meditated for 39 years so i guess i am decent enough to answer.
It took me daily practice for 6 months to learn how to do the basics.
I would imagine you could learn very much faster if you are taught or guided.(i did it on my own).
I started with progressive muscular relaxation(which was a great way to start) then moved onto guided visualisation and self hypnosis.
One advantage is once i learnt it i find i can go into deep relaxation/meditation wherever i am,on the bus,when im ill,at a resteraunt,If i feel tense or anxious i always have meditation with me,entertaining,refreshing and anti anxiety in a few minutes.They should teach it in schools.
another advantage is i can always entertain myself and do something useful or enjoyable wherever i am,guided visualisation,positive thinking while meditating.
no.3 is i discovered there is more and more inside me to the point where now i feel there is as much to explore and discover inside me as there is in the world,which i feel is quite amazing.
no.4 when mixed with positive self talk and visualisation(self hypnosis),I have achieved astounding successes in my life.
no.5 about 7 years ago i was very very ill for an entire year,in deep pain and incapable of living,it was hell. Meditation reduced the pain by 40%. Meditation got me through while the doctors were sorting me out.I was in meditation for most of the year.Praise the Lord.
