The meditation I do is being aware of one's awareness. Its the simplest. Notice the awareness that is reading this post. This is the "awareness of 'you'". Also, called the "I am".
Its impact is profound. After a while, you realize that thoughts and your identification with a person arises out of this simple silent awareness. Thus the constant stream of thoughts related to "I" arise from this silence.
I am thus this pure awareness, not the mind or personality that I thought i was. The identification with the mind-created story crumbles and with that a huge amount of suffering, longing, craving etc. The freedom experienced is immense.
Once starts freeing from the mental conditioning that has happened since birth, so relationships, decision-making etc improve.
One can put one's mind to one task without thoughts interrupting. Also, a lot of inessential tasks, time-wasters etc have also dropped off. One can focus on important activities.
