Meditation, what can I expect?

[Diswhy]

I down loaded and started using Headspace last week. I'm just doing the basics course of 10 minutes a day and while I am using it it is nice and calming and relaxing. It probably is a bit of a reset. However I am curious, what happens down the line with meditation? Does it alter you? Do you become a better person, do you gain more insight, clarity, self possession?

What does it do for a person long term?

It might train your brain so you find it easier to shut down unwanted thoughts and just be, which can be very helpful for certain personalities. But for the vast majority of people it isn't going to be life changing.
