For me the biggest benefits have been an improved general awareness -- particularly, realizing how much we do both mentally (thoughts and emotions) and physically (things as simple as changing from standing to sitting, sitting to standing, opening a door etc..) on auto-pilot. I've found exercising the mind in these areas helps me become better aware when I start getting wrapped up too deep in a thought or emotion.

I'm interesting in learning more about everything :)
