Yes. Meditation is instrumental for me in my day-to-day life. Meditation is my medium for self-reflection, relaxation, and clearing my mind. For me, it's also been helpful for combating depression.

I highly suggest the Reddit meditation subreddit — http://reddit.com/r/meditation. Basically the Hacker News of meditation. The archives are a great place to browse to learn more about meditation, like different techniques, advice (like should you scratch an itch or watch it? meditating under the influence? etc.), and everything related.

Edit: if you have an iPhone, the Equanimity app is pretty cool for timing your sits as well as recording thoughts or notes about your sit.
