This is a good time to mention that the effects and benefits you can gain from meditation become apparent in relation to the time and effort of your meditation endeavors. In other words, meditating only occasionally will produce few benefits and slow development, while regular meditation, especially if you do so with the guidance of a Zen master (a teacher), will produce most, and even perhaps all of the above benefits, and more.
