I've always had a good handle on my emotions; ftmp from sports psychology training in my college golf days. Meditation reinforces that kind of mindfulness, but to me provides other value... Introspection is very important and useful to me. Meditation provides a new perspective/dimension from which to observe my mental processes. Not to mention several "ego-dissolution" [1] experiences on retreat have been quite powerful. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_death https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_death
