Hi all,
A friend and I are working on
Medivate, a site to help people stay motivated to meditate.
We recently put together a visual guide to some of the scientific benefits of meditation.
Here's the link. It's interactive: You put in a particular meditation schedule, and it shows you what benefits have been demonstrated for that amount of practice. I thought I'd share it here as a partial answer (from the scientific/relative side) to "How is meditation helpful?"
Hope you guys like it!
Fred
