There's no denying that a meditation practice can offer life-improving benefits. Research supports that the mindfulness technique can lead to feeling happier, being a more compassionate person, having lowered inflammation, and experiencing increased longevity. Colombian superstar J Balvin even credits meditation with saving his life. But for all of meditation's benefits, it isn't typically described as something that's "fun." If you were, for example, to tell a friend that your evening plans involved a night of meditating, they may give a smile, but chances are they won't respond by saying, "Wow, how exciting!" or "Oh, you must be so pumped!" That may soon change, though.
