Since my journey in meditation it is very true that one becomes calmer and the biggest lesson to get to this state is literally calming the mind of the chatter. What a challenge but so beneficial and as we are taught, a little a day goes a long way. I highly recommend a book 'How God Changes your Brain', which is a universal account of how meditation does change the brain and embracing all religions. If the world could just read this and practice meditation, we would all get along so much better. A truly noble state is to 'rise above' all situations.
