Meditation is a good exercise for NEETs to pick up. Succinct version: meditation is an process of introspection that can improve insight, self-awareness, concentration, tranquility, pleasure, and altered states of consciousness.

The major flavors of meditation in the Theravada Buddhist tradition are samadhi, which can be described as concentration+tranquility, and vipassana , awareness+insight.

Other kinds of “mind work” in the neighborhood of these two styles include yoga, ruminations, lucid dreaming, visualization, and prayer; so too mindfulness, “flow state”, dissociation, hypnosis.
