Meditation in Edinburgh
Developing mental equilibrium is a good aim for most people. For one thing it means you don't get so affected by adverse circumstances, and so can take better decisions.
For another, as your mind and body are intertwined, a calm mind can help your body heal faster.
Meditation has often been connected with religion and many who meditate regularly do so with a spiritual intention, but in its basic form there need be no religious connotation. It is just about calming and steadying one's thinking processes.
It can be learned. It's not difficult to teach. But getting good at doing it does take regular practice - which takes time.
However even a short amount of time spent practising meditation regularly can reap great rewards - even as little as 5 minutes twice daily if performed correctly.
There are also forms of moving meditation, when some physical activity is combined with concentration - for example walking. Tai Qi is a traditional Chinese system of movement and concentration that improves health and mental powers. Various kinds of yoga help produce a meditative state.
Modern aids to deeper states of mind
Some, if not all, of the benefits of regular meditation can be got from listening to recordings that play a slightly different signal in one ear to the signal into the other ear. Not detectable aurally, the difference between the signals is picked up by the brain and helps your mind produce the very slow brain-waves that go with healing and calmness. These can give people who have never meditated a glimpse of the benefits which many years of meditative practice would otherwise require.

What experience have we had, that you may gain from?

He has continued to practise ever since, and has experience of using modern aids such as the recordings described above.

Look At the Picture on the Left
This looks quite like the picture on the right but look carefully and you'll see differences. In the same way your ears don't notice much difference between the sounds entering your left and right ears in the recordings mentioned above. But your brain detects them and benefits from the difference by producing very slow brainwaves.
